Don't worry buddy. There will be more members along shortlyAny more or have I picked the short straw?
Yep, I'm build week 9. I ordered mid November, I was told initially mid February however I think BW9 will mean mid March. I suppose new reg is a benefit however I'm not particularly fussed.
Returning S3 owner, previously had an 8P followed by a succession of company cars.
Lucky you i ordered August and not getting untill March/April.I ordered end of November and I am week 5 ? ....Strange....
Thats a crazy wait?!?!?!?! They must have given you a decent loan car?Lucky you i ordered August and not getting untill March/April.
Suppose the free loaner helps soften the blow.

Ordered end of November through orange wheels / coventry audi , nice discount thank you . Nothing offered from Essex Audi my local dealers.
Test drove the S3 straight after testing an M235i . Both very nice cars . The audi put more of a smile on my face and was over 3k cheaper , also with 2 extra doors and the capability to carry 5 if needed (we have 3 kids). Also is was a horrible wet day so I was able to give the audi some beans on roundabouts etc with the quattro.
Ive owned plenty of audis before. My first being a 1993 S2 coupe which was also red (God I loved that car) , but this will be first A3 . Ive just sold a MK7 golf GTD which the S3 is replacing. I've had enough of diesels !!
I almost changed my order to a S3 Saloon in Sepang having looked at some of the photos on this site. But having seen sepang in real life it is a much lighter blue. Also being an Arsenal fan a blue car is a big no no.
How about you BH, is your car built now and just waiting till March ?
Ordered end of March, was given build week 9, then just before the festive break it went to 11.
For all those who think they're having a rough ride because their build week has not come up within the space of two weeks think again..........
Sig says 9.....must change.
You ordered in March 2014 ?????? and got BW9 2015? ......You sure about that.....
That is ridiculous !!!! I could never wait that long ..... I am struggling with a 3 month wait. I hope they are giving you some freebies for the inconvenience?Yep, it got to October last year and I almost pulled out but the dealer said it had now been allocated a BW.

Dealer's now confirmed build week 9 (week commencing 23rd Feb), delivery to dealer 3 weeks so circa 23rd March.
Finally I'm on countdown! (not the programme)
Don't be surprised to find your car is in the UK in week 9 ...from what I have seen most cars are arriving waaaaaaaay before schedule and usually delivered to UK in the build week

I would be amazed if the car was to arrive in the UK in the same week as the build week.
My dealer stated the 23rd March date could come forward by a few days, therefore bringing the car to the dealership sooner
but all depends on loading/unloading of the ship including sailing conditions, etc...
Hi all. First time poster here! I ordered my A3 Saloon week before last and am yet to get a confirmed build week but I'm told that it's likely to BW11. Most of you folks are waiting on an S3 though rather than the A3 so who knows what's going to happen!

Mines getting born this week! Also curious around shipping times. Dealership told me standard 4-6 weeks until its in their possession* but a colleague had one delivered 2 weeks after build.
Could do with semi-accurate estimate because my current car is up for sale and if I sell it too early (its getting attention) then it'll be walking to work for a month for me.
*Another Coventry Audi purchase - god bless them and their untouchable discounts
