I fall to peer pressure!
They probably tried to meet their end of month targets even though the profit margin was low or non-existent.
Good job!
Good job!
This is not helping me, I want one. Just need to rob a bank.

Good write up, I'm picking up my S4 tomorrow and can't wait.
Scotty - I hope your dealer can do that for you, but in my experience, a lot of dealers say that (including mine) but then cant spec amend S/RS cars. Looking on the bright side, if they cant, you'll get a 2015MY car!
I ordered on 31st January.
Ordered on the 17th Feb (feels like a lifetime ago). I asked about adding super sport seats to mine as I forgot them and they told me it won't push the date back because its not in the build phase yet.
Current build date for mine is 12th June.
Is it me or do Audi seem slow at building their cars? Others seem to average around 12 weeks

Well just had another call and they have added my SS seats - BUT also my build date has changed again to the 5th May!!!! So thats a 7 week reduction in less than 24 hours. Happy days
He also mentioned that the leather door armrests I specced (£205 option) are now free as part of new Audi pricing!
Could be that I spent a few more dollars that its been pushed for a quicker date??

Result! that's awesome ....hmm what can I change on mine to bring the date forward?
Not to bring you down mate, but make sure your dealer has added 'through load' as this has to be combined with the SS seats.
Its about £165 - my dealer forgot to add it then phoned me to say I had to have it after we agreed a price...so I got it for free!
My build week is the same, 5th May (wk18), with car likely to be ready for collection at dealers in the last week of May.
Can't believe you managed to get 7 week reduction, great bit of luck!
I thought it prudent to share the experience thus far for any potential S4 purchasers or likeminded petrol heads that are interested.
Just out of interest did you consider the S3 Saloon when you decided on the S4? I actually was going to get an S4 (or S5 sportback) as I think they're superb, and then saw the S3 Saloon, and went for it instead, as I don't need the small amount of extra space, and felt that you get similar performance for slightly less cash.
Downside is the lack of V6 noise and supercharged torque range, lack of sports differential as an option, less space in back and boot, lack of 'proper torsen quattro', but upsdie being similar performance but better mpg newer interior, newer exterior design and cheaper overall.
Thoughts?
Not even a consideration for me, too small and I always have Avant's (need the space) - have to say the saloon is a good looking car though - Not keen on the super sport seats!! only upside would be the new Nav screen, which I assume the B9 A4/A5 will have.
Couldn't resist the V6, amazing lump! I've just spec'd an S3 - with discounts, my S4 was cheaper!
Almost went with the S5 sport back, but couldn't break the mould - this being my 5th A4/S4 Avant
Didn't look at the saloon, just a sportback. Something a bit bigger was required, hence the decision to go for an S4 Avant. A bigger boot and practicalities of an estate appealed more than a slightly smaller, nippier hatch/saloon.
