Speaking with my dealer today and found out my car has been scheduled for build week 14 after originally being told week 8! Bummer although he did say it may move forward as Audi are apparently pushing through orders on these.
Anyone else had their order brought forward or am I destined to have to wait till April for my new toy?
On order:
Sepang Blue
Black style pack
Privacy
Heated seats
Full leather
Hill hold

No idea.
May be an idea to add B&O to your order though.

I've got week 4 build and am expecting the car Mid - March, Week 14 - I'd be expecting the car in May...
From what i see on here it looks like anything up to 6 weeks after build week to complete and ship the car...fingers crossed it doesnt take that for you!
+1 on the B&O. vast improvement on the standard.

If it makes you feel any better mine was build week five last year and arrived at the stealers by the last week in Feb, so it might be a bit quicker than you think. But the word you should to take the most notice of in the last sentence is "might".
+3 on B&O as well.

Ha, yeah, everything is a "might" with these! I'll be happy getting it any time in March. Been a long wait already! but i'll cope. always got the you tube videos or the constant B7 is better posts to keep me entertained...

Err, my order went from build week 7, to 5 and I just heard today its gone to Week 3.
Wasn't part of my plan but for financing it, so lucky I'm on overtime right now!

Nothing wrong with a ZX back in the day, all got to start somewhere, anything interesting like a Volcane?

Yeah B&O might have been nice, help drown out the kids!
I'm not allowed to change my spec now otherwise I will have to pay the Jan price increase as well.
Apparently it's to stop dealers from reserving cars then changing the spec to suit the customer once they sell the slot.
Need to stick with what I have, I've already asked if they can add full leather and heated seats without incurring the charges as a favour. Still waiting to find out.

I was enquiring today and was told I would be looking at May delivery if ordered this week, possibly earlier.

I've been allowed to change my spec to full leather and heated seats by Audi main sales office after my dealer asked on my behalf. Doubt I'd get to change anything else now but happy about the seats anyway.
Still at build week 14 though.....fingers crossed for some advance on that over the next few weeks.

It's definitely worth trying for B&O. Great sound and perfect audio if its a keeper, an essential option for re-sale as well.

Ok here goes,
Sepang Blue,Buckets,sports kit 20" V spokes,black optics,Privacy glass,B+O, folding dimming mirrors.
Thinking about adding,adaptive headlights,driver assistance pack and hill assist and Audi connect high
The hill assist and Audi Connect High are very very unlikely as I can`t seem to get a real good assessment of how useful these options are.
