Audi A4 B7 for BeamNG.drive
The B7 A4, built from 2004 to 2008, is the tidy-faced compact executive that bridged the old and new Audi looks, and this version finally gives it engines that fit the car. The big change is dropping the old Sunburst-based engine setup in favor of realistic Audi-style options, so the A4 B7 drives like its own car rather than a reskinned base vehicle across 12 configurations.
Engines and transmission
The engine lineup spans 1.6, 1.8, 1.9 TDI, 2.0 TDI, and 3.2 FSI, which lets you compare petrol and diesel character on one platform: the 1.6 and 1.8 suit calmer driving, the 1.9 and 2.0 TDI bring the low-down torque you’d expect from a diesel cruiser, and the 3.2 FSI gives the strongest road response for faster testing. A CVT transmission option has been added for a smoother power delivery than the manual, and the manual gear ratios have been corrected so acceleration, cruising speed, and shifts feel more natural.
On the road and in the list
It’s most at home on city roads, highways, countryside routes, and traffic maps—a balanced everyday sedan rather than a race car. The 12 configurations cover normal driving, screenshots, roleplay and testing, and updated thumbnails make the in-game list easier to read before you spawn one. The body slots naturally into realistic traffic and older-Audi roleplay scenes, and it handles basic crash testing—front and side impacts, braking errors—with results depending on speed, angle, and config.
Installing is simple: drop the .zip straight into your BeamNG.drive mods folder — don’t unzip it — and it appears in the in-game selector. New to mods? Our BeamNG.drive installation guide walks through every step.
🔧 Our Test Notes
Hands-on notes from the CrashMods team
A CVT option is not something we expected to find in a B7 A4 mod, so that was the first box we ticked — and it suits the diesel configs surprisingly well, smoothing power delivery in a way that matches the low-down torque of the 1.9 and 2.0 TDI. The bigger story sits under the hood: the old Sunburst-based engine setup is gone, replaced by a proper Audi range from the 1.6 up to the 3.2 FSI, and the car finally stops feeling like a base vehicle wearing an Audi shell. Hopping between petrol and diesel on the same countryside loop became our whole afternoon, helped by corrected manual ratios that put shifts where you expect them. Just know what you are getting: the 1.6 and 1.8 are calm commuters, so reach for the 3.2 when you want real pace. The updated thumbnails even make the 12-strong config list easier to skim. Tested on BeamNG 0.38.
