Facelift Orders... The Specs

tis built!

Gonna be a stunner

tis built!

Yep, week 51 cars are now in transit. Dealer reckons I might get mine next week; should know in a couple of days' time. It's so far ahead of March 1st that I can't be bothered to wait for a 15 plate.

Can't wait - especially as I have been suffering those "Why did I chose X option and not Y" moments for the last week or so. Hopefully, actually having the car will put those to rest (or make them more accentuated).

Aye, I'm with you, if it's here shortly I'll take it right away.

Same for me, build week 51, not confirmed it's in transit but cannot be bothered with the wait!

A not so good update for me build week mid july august delivery. Shocked I was hoping for a May delivery would have been perfect and what the dealer first said. But he did state this could change hopefully brought forward by many weeks lol.

Aargh! Sorry for misleading you all. got a follow-up call form dealer today. The car status says "In transit" on the system but is still in Germany because of a backlog associated with the Christmas break. Not sure now when it will arrive. Perhaps a couple of weeks away.

Booooo

As long as they haven't been stuck on a sandbank in the Solent for the last few days

When's everyone else expecting there's ? I really hope mine gets pushed forward nearer to May.

When did you order yours? Mine was originally week 7 and moved to week 3. Ordered around 13th November. Apparently mine was moved forward as it was tagged as a customer order rather than a stock order!!!!

I did think exactly that!

Week 51, due late Jan/early Feb.

[M1R XE]

Mine was ordered 11th November but exclusive also Ceramics. Was ordered then but not build date or anything until today but he did mention that he thinks this will get pushed forward and will be informed in a couple weeks usually what happens. And I will check with that about stock or customer tagged as thanks buddy.

[Lewy]

Mine is a week 51 build.

I was told the car should be on the dealer stick list in the next 10 days... Whatever that means???

Cheers

Close to ordering now(I'm still driving a B7 RS4, since new) spec:

Cystal Panther Black
Black Gloss Wheels
Black with Black stitching seats
Parking Pack Standard
Carbon Styling Pack
Heated Front Seats
Privacy Glass
Sports Exhaust

The hardest thing to decide as always is the colour, more so with this car because of the various styling packs and not being able to order black gloss with black paint. After looking at hundreds of pics, think I want a black car with black styling. The Carbon pack is ridiculously expensive but I've specced it. I haven't specced carbon mirrors, figured that would be something I could do aftermarket and £ave.

I'm opting not to go for the Dynamic pack due to the issues with it in my RS4. Not fussed about Dynamic Steering.

Things I'm on the fence on:

- Sports Exhaust, anyone had any side by side experiences between sports exhaust and the standard exhaust? or any audio clips?
- Advanced Key, worth £750?
- Parking Pack Advance, worth £700+ more than the standard parking pack?
- Panther vs Mythos black

Hi Mark,

Congrats on the spec. The Carbon pack is a painfully expensive option, but I could not resist it too...

On your query:
+ Sports Exhaust to me is a must add option, you want to hear the beastie roar!
+ Advanced Key, I did not order due to the issues that Range Rover had with insurance companies and potential theft
+ Parking Pack Plus - had to order as I wanted the top down camera view thingy
+ Colour? More googling for you and potentially visiting Audi showrooms as only you can decide that one.


**Updates on my week 51 build as I've just spoken to Audi. It is still showing as "in production" which is down to the Audi Christmas break. The car is not likely to show at the dealers until Jan 27th earliest. I've got some business travel in January, February and now March so I'm aiming to take delivery of the car on March 10th.

Cheers
Lewy
