    It's at the port!

    Yup, I've had the grin all weekend long. I keep looking out of my window to remind myself that it's now in my drive! I've up 500 miles on it so far! It's brilliant to drive though. Doesn't corner as well as the 3 series, but that was to be as expected... No regrets here!

    It's at the port!

    Loving the car! So many gadgets and gizmos to play with. It looks incredible at night too (especially the lighting inside).

    MMI iPod cannot shuffle

    I picked up mine yesterday and my iPhone can definitely shuffle through the MMI menus. I have the HD based Sat Nav, so it may be something to do with the basic sat nav?

    MMI iPod cannot shuffle

    Is it not taking it a bit far to say others should choose another car because the iPod can't shuffle?! if I was in your situation I would buy an SD card as presumably that will be able to shuffle?

    What colour is your 8V?

    1 in 4 A3's are Daytona Grey? That's quite impressive! Scuba Blue for me!

    It's at the port!

    Right guys, I've got a question for you... How long does it usually take for the handover? I'm part-exing so I guess they'll look around the car (again), check the service book and make sure everything's great that end. We'll then head inside, I'll look around the car for damage or missing...

    It's at the port!

    Less that 24 hours to go! I agree, you really don't see any Scuba Blues on the road, but I think that's fantastic as I'm always going to feel slightly more unique when I'm driving my beautiful car. I'm tempted to walk into the dealership today just to have a look at the car, but I think it'll...

    It's at the port!

    Just heard from the dealer again. It's arrived! I get to pick up my beauty of a car first thing saturday morning :) I have a busy weekend ahead too, so it'll easily clock 600 miles before monday :) :)

    1.2 engine - thoughts?

    Is it worth thinking about the resale? Surely a bigger engine will be a lot more popular (if it's not far off the economy of a smaller engine?). Something to think about anyway!

    Not another countdown !!

    Maybe they're talking in worst case scenario terms? Otherwise that's a long wait! My car was put on a transporter yesterday and should be at the dealership today or tomorrow, but I guess the transporter may have cars for other dealerships in the area... Just think of the relief when you...

    Build Date Confirmed

    In England we have codes on our plates which shows when the car is first registered on the road. So from 1st March 2013 - 31st August 2013, we have XX13 XXX plates as standard (Letters replace X). Then from 1st September 2013 - 28th February 2014, the plates look like XX63 XXX. Then it moves up...

    Haha, I'm new here myself which is why I probably haven't seen it mentioned!

    It's at the port!

    Just had a call from the dealer! It's on a transporter on it's way to the dealership. It should arrive tomorrow, but there's an outside chance it arrives Thursday. There's the slimmest of chances that I can pick it up on saturday morning (I guess that's if the car is delivered tomorrow morning)...

    Just joined, Just ordered.

    Hi BGS, Welcome to the Forum! I don't think I've seen anyone on this forum order the 1.4 Cylinder on Demand (though I'm probably mistaken). How was it to test drive? I think 12 weeks is pretty reasonably. I ordered at the end of April and picking up next week at the latest. Hopefully you won't...

    It's at the port!

    Well lets hope that means I get to pick up next week then! I wasn't told if I had taken someone's cancellation spot. I was originally told that the car would be ready at the beginning of August, so it may just be that, because of the large spec, they pushed it through early for me?

    About to Order

    Amersham did that to me, initially offering only £1000 off. I told him that a broker could get me more off, though I would prefer to order through a main dealership. I also said that I'd be asking other dealerships if they could beat his offer, and if they could I would be going to them as at...

    About to Order

    I've ordered mine through Oxford Audi, but Amersham offered me the same deal (I live 1 mile away from Oxford Audi, so made sense to order through them). I find that when a salesman pushes with me, I push back. They're pushy because they know it's overpriced and they want you to fold. Use it to...

    About to Order

    I'm very excited! The last I heard (last wednesday) was that my car was waiting to be shipped over! I've asked for another update today but not heard anything just yet. A good tactic to getting a better deal is to actually connect with the salesperson. Ask about their life/family/holiday etc...
