Default So, why dont the RS6's have the dreaded wheel vibration between 40-60 mph?

It seems as tho many A6/S6 owners suffer from this undiagnosable anomole... my old 4.2 did it a little bit, but many seem to have no cure (multiple sets of wheels/tires and numerous Hunter balance jobs seem to have no effect)....
then comes the RS6.. Any of you have this happening?
So, you think that since this car is not made by Audi ( reference the driver side door jamb " manufactured by Quattro GMBH") that they were able to isolate and remedy this problem? Or, is it just too soon to tell? Or, did they find and fix it for the RS6 and just not tell anyone? Whaddya all think?

Default Its on order. Dealer will call when ready to install..

AoA cleared the install tho which was the hurdle..
After waiting so long to get her, I cant imagine having to go without for 2 weks.. I have planned 3 trips this summer.. all just to drive this beast.. Going to Vegas in 2 weeks for wedding anniversary, then to Laguna Seca for motorcycling event in july, then to ...lands beyond.. just for the helluvit!
I may never return.. What a car!

Default I think you just had bad luck.

But it all worked out in the end.
