I am a little confused at how the black edition is priced? is there a set amount for the black edition as an option which includes all features?
How much extra is the black edition? as I have already spec'd xenons anyway and I am wondering whether this may be an option to go for.
The Black edition is a trim level above S-Line... and is currently priced £925 above its equivilent S-Line Model (although it should be noted that the black edition only comes is a set number of engines)
For that £925 you get:
Xenon Plus Headligjht with LED Day Time Running lights (£545)
Privacy Glass on the rear windows (£325)
The Black Styling package (Black Grill and Number plate surround) (£300)
18 Inch Twin Spoke Titanium wheels (Only Avalible on Black Edition)
Flat Bottomed Multipunction Streering wheel (Only avalible on Black Edition and S3 would cost at least £400 to retrofit)
Piano Black Inlays (No Charge)
BOSE Sound System (£440)
Its worth it if you were concidering a combination of any of the above options but does have some downsides. One as mentioned is the limited number of engines (although technically the range is the better engines perfromance wise) the other and which i found the most annoying was the limited choice of paint colours. Again it should be noted that the black edition comes in only 3 no cost option paint colours (Brilliant Red/Black or Ibis White) and three £500 option colours (Phantom Black, Misano Red and Monza Silver).
Some notes from my experiance of the Black Edition:
Spec the Light and Rain Sensor Pack (£325) and Interior Light Pack (£90) as a must! (these items are "especially" expensive and techincally difficult to retrofit and are worth every penny!) also unless you "specifically" like the Piano Black Inlays choose to change them to Aluminium as a no cost option! (they will be more desirable in the future and far easier to look after)
Hope this help, any more questions feel free to ask!
