Hi Pete, it's a Sline Sportback with a few toys.
Ooh, that's not good news - I'll give my dealer a ring later to see if mine is still on schedule for BW29.

Might be worth pushing your dealer further in case he's promised your build slot to another customer
I'm out of this thread. I have been misled by the dealer, wilfully or otherwise. Week 37 for me - not particularly happy with it!
Very sorry to hear that. I hope he's going to compensate you in some way?
Just got a very unexpected call from my dealer to say my build week 30 was now a build week 29. So next week. S3 saloon in Sepang (aren't they all now?!)
Confused by this BW thing - given w/c 28th July which, counting up the Mondays since Jan 1st gives BW30. Is that right?
I'm another week 29er. I checked with my dealer last week and the build date was shown as today 14/7/14. (S3 Daytona Grey Sportback, Sydney Australia). Hopefully it's all happening now. I wonder how long it takes to confirm the build and get a VIN.
My dealership said to check with them a week after BW, and they should have a VIN for me.
I don't know if I can wait that long. I might try today or tomorrow.
Haha, yes, it feels more real once you can get your hands on the proper VIN and commence the tracking, next 12 weeks will be worst then the last 5 months of waiting for the BW.
I've just had a call from Listers of Coventry to confirm my spec and to say they are ordering my A3 SB today. She added the expected arrival would be towards the end of November. How would I go about forecasting the BW, or should I be a patient gent and wait for them to tell me?
Even if it arrives earlier my lease company won't let me swap my 8P till 24/11/14.
I've had an update from my dealer - my car has left the factory and is on its way to the docks at Emden. Still not collecting until 18 August though.
I can almost feel it
Would you not wait an extra 2 weeks to get 64 plate??
I've got a personal plate to go on it.
I don't think that the difference between a 64 plate and a two week older (in registration terms - the car will still have been built in July regardless) 14 plate come resale time will make much difference. I intend to keep the car for several years (I always tell my wife that as well).Yeah! Not just to show of with a 64 plate but be better resale value, I expect my delivery around same time as you but have been advised to hold off until September
Just had an update from dealer, car is now on a ship and expect it to dock in sheerness over the weekend. Two candidates African highway is the most likely.
For others that's week after leaving factory to being on a ship ready to leave Emden.
It was built end of BW28, it was BW29 but got pulled forward into the last friday of BW28, but it is only 7 days since it was released from the factory whhihc is great progress just need to see how quickly it can get from sheerness to the dealership in Camberley.Thought it would help others knowing rough time-lines on the factory to emden/ship journey.So your car was built in Week 29 and is now on a ship? Wow that's amazing. I haven't been around this week so am looking forward to my call from my dealer on Monday - perhaps he'll tell me my car is ready for collection LOL
