Off on a pointless trip to LIncolnshire tomorrow to put some miles on. Wifey wants to look at some ancestor's gravestones or something bizarre - who am I to argue
How is it in comparison to your rs4?

Good question - mostly better, gimme another couple of days and I'll write more gotta do some chores now and away tomorrow - remind me if I forget ;-)
Do you really want a Friday afternoon build?Mine is being built tomoz! Bit of a wait to get to Australia though...
Picked it up today. Obviously early days yet, but the one thing that is apparent compared to the Mk1 RS3 is the ride quality with the Mag Dampers, much improved. I also think the car has better balance, doesnt feel as nose driven as the previous model when pushing hard in the corners. Still as I said early days.

Mine has now moved to BW36 and I think has gone Code 20. So if I assume a first week of October delivery thats 24 weeks from order to delivery. Problem is I sold my car on the 15th June!!
Ah i see,
I had a 27th July BW for about 1 day and then jumped back to the 7th Sept (BW37) and has been there for a while. Expecting mine will go to prep stage next week now then as yours did this week and your BW is a week earlier.
Exciting!
Picked up my nardo grey dynamic pack at 5pm today. Around London a better ride than my 63 plate S3 with mag ride. Will be testing country roads tomorrow and off to Fairford Air Tattoo Sunday from North London.
Changed my order again... Back to sepang
And they will all dissappear as Audi are pulling all unallocated build weeks.Ordered mine very end of june. Tried a few local dealers but none would offer discount and delivery was expected start of 2016. Was recommended from a friend to try stoke audi (quite a bit away from me as i live in north scotland) so called and got a excellent deal and build week 31, collecting it start of september. Salesman told me they ordered 30 on 1st release and still have plenty slots for sept delivery! If any of yous are interested call and ask for alex nelson and he will sort you out, let him know shaun mcdonald sent you!
Oooooo i see! So do you think thst will affect my order or will it just be any orders after they review the unallocated slots?And they will all dissappear as Audi are pulling all unallocated build weeks.
Took the RS3 demo back today having had the car for 24hrs and put loads of miles on the clock.
Had long chat with the group sales director and branch sales manager. There are problems all over the dealer network with the RS3, TTS and Q7, with many dealers ordering for stock, ordering for 'theoretical' customers and ordering for third party suppliers, all of which which are impacting on delivery for personal customers. They are, allegedly, currently reviewing all UK orders are aiming to reprioritise customer orders over all others.
The sales Manger attempted to add the sports exhaust to my order today, whichever is currently BW38, code 10 - but my build was locked, which the sales manager said was unusual at Code 10, unless they had locked the production schedule exceptionally early. The only way he could add the exhaust to my was with a new order - currently indicating Apr 16. I left the order as it was!
He also said that some dealers, especially small dealers, not part of larger groups, we're exhibiting bad behaviours by over ordering RS3 to meet RS targets, made all the more difficult because of the end of production of the RS4. In his words, Audi UK are proactively looking reduce customer wait times by holding dealers to account over bad behaviours.
He also said, that they have been told that they are not to sell their RS3 demo until further notice - possibly Mar/Apr 16. He said he believed that Audi have placed some form of restriction on selling the initial dealer demo tranche of RS3; he said he would normally sell after 90 days, but now has to keep it indefinitely. This is to prevent him selling and ordering another and placing even more demand on an already overheated production schedule.
