Got confirmation that my local Audi dealer are going to sell me their shop floor car (48 miles - I did 25 of those on my test drive!). Pick it up (snow willing) on Friday. All in managed to secure about an 11% discount off list price!
Spec:
3.0 TFSi with 7 speed S-Tronic
Sprint Blue
Black Nappa Leather S Sports Seats with silver stitching
Ski Bag (woo hoo I really wanted that for an extra £160!!!

)
Privacy Glass
19" 7 spoke (RS4) alloys
MMI Navigation with AMI & Blue Tooth
Bang & Olufsen speakers
Parking Assist Plus
Think that is it ...

Essex, why?
I doubt they will do another one at that discount! They thought is was only a 6% discount (which I had to fight for), but they had priced it up in the show room without including the MMI Navigation (which I knew it had). They realised this after I paid my deposit (I had asked them twice if the price was correct ... ) and after a couple of days of deliberation came back to me today to confirm they were going to proceed

I'm A414/M11 i.e. Harlow area.
If you want any tweaks done via Vag-Com just let me know and we can meet up.
e.g. beep on alarm, stop the LEDs winking with indicators, seat belt chime off, rear LEDS on as DRLs, DVD when in motion etc etc etc

Got VCGS and VAG Tacho, so could probably do them myself, just need someone to tell me what needs changing! Done a few mods to the R32, to get miles till empty and lit needles etc.
Any concise list of what is and isn't possible to change on the B8?

Sprint blue on RS4's, best combination IMO

With the privacy glass and the silver rails it looks spot on
We got A LOT of people looking, pointing and staring when we test drove it (in a good way!)

I bet the spec is a lot higher than what you have listed based upon it being a dealer car as well
What ineterior do you have?

I think that is the spec, they didn't go crazy on the technical stuff to be honest.
Interior is the S Sports seats in black silk nappa leather with silver stitching

Some cool stuff that I will have to look into in more detail. Interesting things like enabling tyre pressure monitoring which is a £75 option!

I paid for TPMS and then was annoyed that it looks like a simple software switch....however it does depend on your ABS module.
I'm happy I bought it as with the 19" wheels the low side walls don't give much of a visual clue if your down on air and hence with the wife driving it a lot of the time I thought it was £75 well spent.
With regards the spec, you've got what I'd say are the crucial ones. You don't mention heated seats but I'd be surprised if they're not there.
I went silly woth the options. I've got the same as you (minus S4 engine etc and seats) and added lots of little bits
Folding and dimming mirrors
Adaptive lights
Storage pack
Rear side blinds
Rear load rails etc
rear side airbags
Load liner/ bumper protector
Dynamic suspension
Power tailgate
all of which really depend on how your're going to use the car etc.
I think you've got a good un and I can't wait to see the pics

No heated seats
Would have liked folding mirrors too, but we have a drive so not important when parked up at home, only when out and about!
Not picking it up till tomorrow though now, as they haven't had the plates printed yet!
