Bored and thinking about Torque

[MikeFish]

Yes, I hope I will not be as unlucky as you were.

Mike - this sort of thing.... these cars haven't got the fabled red button on the steering wheel:

Eurgh, that first link is the car I saw just after I ordered mine in exactly the same colour and tried to change my external trim to carbon but my order was locked! Now looking at a huge bill and pain in the butt to change the Titan to carbon if it turns up looking like that.

What red button? I thought the difference was the favourite button on the steering wheel changed to become the drive select button.

Edit: pretty sure I can see 2 lines of text on what used to be the favourite button on the steering wheel on the 1st link.

I've been jedi'id - I thought they were putting an R8 button on the wheel, but you maybe right Mike:

With the Audi drive select system, the driver can vary the function of key components, including the steering, engine and sound management, the tiptronic and the optional sport differential, between the modes comfort, auto, dynamic and individual. New to the RS performance models is the ability for the driver to select the desired mode without taking his or her eyes off the road using a special button on the RS multifunction sport leather steering wheel, similarly to how it is done in the new Audi R8 high-performance sports car.

So I'd be amazed if your car is in before theirs. Hmm maybe on the same run fella.

This time next week my car will have been built and be heading to quality control.

Very exciting! seems the daft paint is putting mine back a bit, but tbf the timing is perfect for me.

Mike your spec looking at the exterior spec of that car in Audi Deutschland is Identical to my RS4 Ltd Edition, I think the blades look much duller than the matt all which is a good thing, but I don;t find myself walking to he b8 and saying, heck i must get those wrapped. I do however tend to walk upto it with a grin, and look forwards to pressing start.

Audi has just re-assigned the Customisable / Joker button on the wheel to enable it to be used to select the driving mode. The grey car has a heated wheel so there is no joker button on that wheel (replaced by the heater on/off button). Personally, I can't see enough detail on the black car to see if the button has a new icon or not.

[boff]

Didn;t is used to do that? just had to tell the car it should be drive select?

Mike Mike - Have you seen the back seat on that german car!!!! oh crap.

[MikeFish]

It's ok Boff, I spoke to my dealer when buying the car and he had no idea about the back seat. Looked all through the brochure and other details they have on their system and still no mention of it. Then after I saw that photo I spoke to him again and he called audi UK. They stated all UK cars will have the normal 3 seat bench.

Is your B8 black with Titan trim? I didn't realise they did any B8s with Titan.
I love the look of mine how it looks on the configurator but that looks nothing like that one for sale in Germany.

Compared to this:

Normal cars just get a choice of Radio/Media toggle, SatNav Voice On/Off toggle and - I think - one other even-less-useful option. No facility to select a Driver programme.

It's not, the old boy is getting confused with specs (again) and not knowing the Matt Titanium trim is new to the C7. B8 Ltd Editions have Matt Aliminium which is different.

I agree Danny, that's why I ordered it, but unfortunately it will look just like the one below it. At first I considered spaying all the parts darker to look like they do in the image but thought if I'm removing them all am I not just better off swapping them for the carbon parts.
