I see Broadspeed have gone back to offering a discount when it had reduced down to something like £300 last week
Discount currently set at £3,250
I've spoken with my dealer and he's confirming a price this week, and I'll get my order in then
I'm thinking Nardo Carbon edition with the sound and comfort pack
Nice colour. ;-)
Mine has just left the paint Shop...

Pricing on these are absolutely horrendous when you can get into an rs6 for the same money! They need to offer much better deals to get these sold or they’ll sit there like the new rs5’s.
That's not a great comparison though as the RS6 is about to be replaced and production has stopped, so they're clearing out dealer and network stock, which is why they're so cheap right now.
The RS4 is brand new, and people always like to go for a brand new model

It will probably spend weeks in quality control trying to work out what went wrong...

The big issue here is the options. As previously mentioned, my B8 in Jan 2015 had a list of £62k new. From that £62k, £5k was options. To spec a B9 in exactly the same way today I would need £10k of options (a 100% increase!), and that takes the OTR cost of the B9 to £72k, another ten thousand pounds.

Nobody can justify that sort of increase. The cost of the options are obscene, especially when you compare it to other manufacturers. Show me a BMW or MB where to go up 1" in wheels size costs £2k, or £2k for adaptive suspension. Then look at their own options, £1250 for ACC which was free on our Golf! £950 for carbon inlays that used to be standard/free. then their new way of only seeing options in packs, so if you want B&O you have to spend £1300 on a pack.

Audi are taking the piss with their pricing. It started with the SQ7, and is now manifesting itself through all the new cars.

Each to their own, but I can't quite get my head around how anybody can rationally sit there and say, "£75k for an A4 estate, that's reasonable, I'm going to buy one". Not unless that person is in the fortunate position of not having to worry about money.

That still beats the £6k price for just the B&O on the RS6.

It’s not quite the same offering though, as you know.

The £6k sound system in the rs6 is a work of audio art though if you really like your music
A bit wasted on me as largely listen to absolute radio 90’s and talksport :)

Not the same upgrade Mike. The C7 came with upgraded BOSE as standard, the B8/B9 came with the crappy standard Audi sound system as standard, so an upgrade on the B8/B9 would take it to the same level as the standard C7. The B&O on the C7 is the next level (and some) up from that. :)

looking on the net so prices may not be 100% but give you an idea of increases on the RS4 over its lifetime

B5 1999-2001 OTR £46500
B7 2006-2008 OTR £51825 increase of £5325
B8 2012-2015 OTR £54925 increase of £3100
B9 2018- OTR £62125 increase of £7200

so to get the similar spec as i have on my B8 witch was 65k im looking at 73k fro the equivalent B9
so i'm hoping they have some discounts as they did on the B8 about a year or so into production which was about 7k with Audi UK and dealer contribution
which i misses (dam dam dam and blast) as i pulled the trigger on my car quite early on the production
2018 B9 RS4 Navarra Blue
2013 B8 RS4 Sepang Blue
2007 B7 RS4 Avant Sprint Blue
2001 B5 RS4 Nogaro Blue
1998 B5 S4 Avant Kingfisher Blue
1993 B4 S2 Avant laser Red

Isn't the B&O in the B8 of a similar quality to the C7 then? I assumed you were getting the same thing but with a couple of extra channels and some motorised tweeters on the C7.

The B&O in my wife's RS3 which was pretty cheap is much better than the Bose in my C7.
