All the panic about IMS bearings on 996 era Porsche when there was only ever about a 7% attrition rate. Change and inspect your oil regularly and there never was an issue.
On this note I wonder how bad the fabled chain and tensioners issue is on the Audi B6 S4. If it's overblown that's a lot of cheap power. An estate too!
Easily fixed with improved parts and the suspension can be upgraded. Yes it'll cost a few grand, but you end up with a still solid car, still good interior and a hefty shove of power. Which can also be easily increased.
This is true completely true.
