I have always loved Audi's, however, I never knew there were so many different "versions" of the A4. Can anyone explain to me the differences between a B5, B6, B7, and B8? How can I tell which one I have?

B5 is 1996-2001, B6 is 2002-2005, B7 is 2006-2008, B8 is 2009+. B7 is very similar to the B6 mechanically (eg, suspension parts are interchangeable), while every generation looks different externally.

akula-ssh did a good job of summing it all up. Basically an evolution of the models as the years went on with different body styles and engines available.

Audi A4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is a good link which gives you pictures of each model and the evolution of the A4. Listed are also engine models and other details.
