    It's scheduled to start production November next year so expect an announcement a couple of months or so before that.

    Tracking our new RS3?

    Isn't week BW22 the start of the new model year? If so BW 21 sounds like a placeholder, i.e. the last BW in the model year, so the factory is likely rejigging their schedules and the actual date might come forward or it might go back!

    RS3 countdown to configurator

    I thought they would be diamond cut too as they're the same wheel as the Estorils on my MK8R and they're definitely diamond cut. In the video they really do look like stickers up close and also there's a darker shade of grey on the spoke as well.

    They shouldn't be otherwise they're likely to come flying off whenever you get them cleaned with a jet washer! You are going to have to be pretty committed to take the chance that they can be removed without leaving a mark.

    RS3 countdown to configurator

    I've just been watching this video; and when you get to 1:53 he says that the alloys have stickers on them and therefore presumably they are not diamond cut. They certainly look like stickers and also on the German model shown the graphic is slightly different to the UK version being a darker...

    RS3 Configuration (let's see what you've got then)

    Well as there's no solid black or white then perhaps it is.

    RS3 Configuration (let's see what you've got then)

    You can't add much to a base RS3 so a Kemora, if it is free, Vorsprung is probably the way to go.

    RS3 Configuration (let's see what you've got then)

    Surely Kemora metallic isn't free?

    RS3 UK Pricing and Specifications

    I have HUD on my MK8R and I really like it although I did have it on a previous BMW so I knew what it was like. You do tend to stop looking down at the dash as often so arguably it's a bit safer as you more likely to be looking ahead but you can turn it off if you really don't get on with it...

    New RS3 8Y Design Details

    Other VAG brands which use ceramics do have reports of them squealing more than steels! Their other benefit of no brake dust, which would be particularly useful with the 10 Y spoke wheels, is lost on the rears.

    New RS3 8Y Design Details

    No idea on replacement cost but they're not going to be cheap but should last for ages if not hammered. Still you'll only have to worry about replacing two as they're only on the front axle and not the rear.

    Thanks and I might well do as the worst that can happen is that they say no.

    RS3 countdown to configurator

    Likewise I saw their discounts and thought they're a mistake! I would probably order a RS3 Vorsprung at that price even though I've only had my MK8R for three months. Out of interest what are the eligibility criteria? As I do have a family member, who is ex forces, and there seems to be a...

    Audi S3 to VW Golf R - Am I a joke to you?

    Thanks. My minimum spec for a G8R is Lapiz, 19" and Winter Pack which is just a few £'s over the £40K tax threshold and I seriously object to paying nearly £500 a year to tax any Golf even if it is a nice one.

    Anyone getting new S5? Help with spec. please

    I've ordered a coupe and the brochure states that all S5 steering wheels, standard an optional, include paddles. I've stuck with the standard one.

    Ordered... S4 Avant

    Try and speak to David Williams at Wimbledon. A good guy who we bought an A4 and A5 from back in 2009 when he was at the now defunct Dulwich Audi. He matched the DTD price at the time. He might recall us and you can mention that I am going to contact him for a price on an S5 once I've seen one!
