After some search I found a BMW X1 in mint
condition which should replace the Audi A4:

BMW Alpine HiFi upgrade:

Hood sound insulation:
Unfortunately BMW does not offer an underhood insulation for ANY X1 models.
I just found an offer from a Chinese / Hongkong manufacturer, fits perfect (same
5mm too small as the original part for E39 btw.)

parking brake pad upgrade:
|
|
|
|
M5 parking brake pads are 30mm wide (vs. 20mm stock E84).
Same pads are used in X3, X5, M3 E36 and E46 and some Volkswagen Transporters as
well.
Installation needs some minor modifications like grinding them down from 30mm to
29mm, cutting the springs of the
mounting bolts by 2 coils and some cutting to make the lower spring fit perfect
(see 2nd photo)
This is a big improvement to stock pads, I did the same mods on my E39 and won't
miss it any more.
more to come...
