The photos to me proves prioritising Asian markets over the UK market It's no coincidence that when these Markets opened up around June the cars/build weeks on folks cars on here where slowly but surely pushed back till next yearTo be fair that is total bs.
In fairness, unless the cars pictured are cardboard cutouts, it does seem to back up the suggestion that at least some of the production capacity has been aimed towards Asian markets.To be fair that is total bs.
Morning All,
Summary of status:
@Stratts , @billymc92 , @Daggerit should be collecting their Vorsprung Sportsback with the 72 numberplates in September. Congrats.
@K44WMY is in build so may be in luck to collect in September as well.
Few BW shuffling for Vorsprungs and Carbon,
strangely, @boardlord's Standard spec is also drifting to the right, as the Standard spec previously used to squeeze early through the stack.
Few weeks ago, read that order books for RS3 is being closed, possibly for the FL version in 2023, so what are the chances of RS3s scheduled for BW in late 2023 joining the FL A3's if the internals are the same.
Anyhow..
Why don't you just ask them? I have been in contact with my rep at least twice a month since I have ordered last September 2021. I got build day locked in the 7th of September 2022, a bit before the one year anniversary.Like quite a few I have just about reached my 1 year anniversary from order placement (no card, no cake) the last update that I received from the dealer was over 6.5 months ago, that update was the car being built BW37, which is now 3 weeks away, since then there have been no further updates received and by that I mean no contact whatsoever. Am I being optimistic that my car will actually be built then? Or do we think they dealer is just hiding knowing that things have changed?
Is there anything more formal that I should have received by now confirming this BW?
Should ask them to keep you updated every 2 or 3 weeks. Also, ask for a screendshot of your order with the update as it will show the status of the order and any estimated build week with the factory order number shown.Like quite a few I have just about reached my 1 year anniversary from order placement (no card, no cake) the last update that I received from the dealer was over 6.5 months ago, that update was the car being built BW37, which is now 3 weeks away, since then there have been no further updates received and by that I mean no contact whatsoever.

This is audi remember you should just be happy they even let you order from them well that's how they make you feel anyway. This will be my 3rd audi and everyone I've had problems I'm not, sure, why I keep, coming back but I do so Sorry, should have said that after calling them today they said that the person I am dealing with is on leave until next week and that they will contact me on their return, hence the question here. It’s good that you receive regular updates, unfortunately for me, despite their promises of weekly, fortnighly and then monthly updates they never arrived.
By comparison, I ordered a Defender in January, received a BW in March, confirmed the same BW in June and delivery is due next month and I receive regular updates by email & telephone with no prompting from my side.

Yeah I wasn't going to bother again but Ive always found a reason not to bother with the rs3 but this one I thought I will go for. The waiting is OK it's the not knowing that's the problemOther brands available, lol.
Audi are a load of tosh.

I had BW37 (unconfirmed) pre MY23 change. That was revoked when they changed to MY23 with no unconfirmed BW since (that I know of). If you've been getting the emails from Audi (e.g we're collecting parts or whatever they say) and not got one with the red dot on 'Production date' then it's likely it ain't getting built in 3 weeks.Like quite a few I have just about reached my 1 year anniversary from order placement (no card, no cake) the last update that I received from the dealer was over 6.5 months ago, that update was the car being built BW37, which is now 3 weeks away, since then there have been no further updates received and by that I mean no contact whatsoever.

You're probably been moved to the first quarter of next yearI had BW37 (unconfirmed) pre MY23 change. That was revoked when they changed to MY23 with no unconfirmed BW since (that I know of). If you've been getting the emails from Audi (e.g we're collecting parts or whatever they say) and not got one with the red dot on 'Production date' then it's likely it ain't getting built in 3 weeks.
What model and colour have you chosen?Well I can confirm it is not getting built in 3 weeks, just received an email, a further 11 week delay, so BW48. On that basis they estimate that the car would arrive mid January 2023, so I’ll hold on until March 23 to register it.
Not much else to say really……..
Nah no really mate ye know the old saying "Ye can't always get what you want" then when ye get it.... ye don't want it .....Swings and roundabouts.....and going by 2 long time members on here ....opinions its best to patch it.......a keep on saying this but it's true l can wait for awhile longer for the ideal car....l don't suffer from FomoThat's fair enough mate I could imagine its pretty frustrating at times .
Daytona, SB, VorsprungWhat model and colour have you chosen?
Disgrace mate l keep on getting the exclusive paint excuse but **** me gently that's wearing that thin it's getting Anorexic....Sorry Movie quote lolDaytona, SB, Vorsprung![]()

Strange that bmw can deliver a lot quicker than Audi ? How did you find the rsq3 I was offered one at a dealership yesterday lol they even had a std rs3 for sale but not much spec and with alloy trim looked more like an s3Dnw21, I have an RS3 V SB on order.
Due to investments and my RSQ3 SB PCH ending Mid June 23, my purchase window is between 20th March - Mid June 23.
So last week I also placed an order for an M240i xdrive, the new idrive curved dash is a bit weird however BMW are going to fit that to everything, its already in the M3.
With BMW I have a qtr 1 build slot confirmed and the SE will wait until my investment matures (20th March) and i have not yet got a BW for my RS3.
The RS3 V is my 1st choice however I'm not prepared to extend my current PCH or do a 3 month term lease.
That's a nice looking piece of kitDnw21.
View attachment 258146 The RSQ3 SB is a quick SUV , it's handles and does it's job well on the road with little bodyroll on corners.
I usually drive in "auto" and use the RS buttton when required, one minor complaint in Auto is on moving off, the gearbox seems
a bit sluggish but when on the move no problems, maybe just when its cold ?
Driving position is typical SUV with great seats, we recently did a 531 mile road trip, Shropshire to Gils Bay and with a couple of 10 minute stops to change drivers (and fuel ups ) a 45 lunch break we both ok, tired from driving but no aches pains etc.
Picture of short term memory , we drove along the A9 where there are Average speed camera s for 125 miles !!!!

Yeah maybe your rep isn't the best/the most caring ever, I'd be ****** too for sure.Sorry, should have said that after calling them today they said that the person I am dealing with is on leave until next week and that they will contact me on their return, hence the question here.

Congratulations. I was the same when mine was at the port. You can track the car transporters between Emden and Grimsby etc, but you only get limited information unless you subscribe to the port website so it’s a bit of a guessing game. Dealers get updates at every stage, and my dealer was telling me when it was at the port, in UK and then on the transporter etc. He actually contacted me when the transporter turned up and it was unloading……..sad but all very exciting for me at the time. Realistically, you’re probably looking at 2 weeks or so until you get hold of it. Enjoy the sleepless nights.Well it looks like my car has actually been released now and is heading to the port. It'll be ending up at Lincoln Audi, so if any of your gurus know which boat it might be on, some insight would be much appreciated because I'm very impatient... Haha.
Thanks for that, at least it's something to hopefully satisfy my impatience.Congratulations. I was the same when mine was at the port.

That looks really nice in blue, it’s funny how different colours look on different vehicles blue really suits the suv
