IF you are running with AFM active, I would not make this a long term car. UNLESS, you are ok with a repair down the line to change out the cam and lifters,. If it does not take the entire engine out. Not even sure how non-active AFM components hold up?
that's just on the 2016 ss a8 that I have, right? Not the 1le
