I was originally Build Week 14 after ordering just before Xmas about the 20th Dec.
Then got an email saying I'd moved to Build Week 11, car is at the dealer now but I'm away overseas with work.
Get home next Thursday but think I'll wait till 1st May for collection, if I can resist that is!

Excited chappy right now!

No idea of build week but it arrives approximately 2 weeks prior to september.

However I won't be collecting it until the 1st as there's not much point putting it on what'll be the new reg for just two weeks.

Ordered 5 April and they tell me August/September delivery

That's in Sydney, Australia, so it won't be a quick delivery from Germany on the back of a car transporter !

No idea what build week I'm in but supposedly the build sheet went in on Monday 7 April, with a minor correction (dealer correction - not my mind change) on 14 April.

I also ordered Prism Silver with black optics and V spokes (just about every other box except buckets and ceramics), subtle but sharp! Am I one of the few that found the buckets f'in hard work on long journeys?

Ordered mine early Feb, it's been built and I'm waiting for it to ship over the channel... Not sure what build week was, but confirmed complete by April 7th. So two weeks now in principle :D more excited every day!

I've been without my beloved B7 for several weeks now and driving my wife's little Ibiza FR until the beast arrives!

:bash:

I think you have the be bucket seat 'shaped' to find them comfortable
I really liked then in my B8, but the wife wasn't so keen, my elderly mother struggled to get in or out and my 7yr olds booster seat doesn't fit in them, so new car has standard SS seats and I keep a few quid in my pocket

Had to be buckets for me, thats what makes the RS4 IMO, but after trying an RS4 with the Super Sport seats i found them very comfortable and wouldn't regret having them.
