The S5 is already 0-60 in 4.5 (0-62 4.7). Rumour is that even Audi's numbers are conservative.

Hardly worth the effort & cost for .2 second gain.

Ditto, 10 days for me as well.

I can only assume they are concentrating on stocking the ports, registering before April to avoid VED, and then they will open taps on Port -> Dealer.

I think they will be rammed out with getting cars to the dealers anyway. A significant percentage of Audis will be worse off as a result of this VED increase, not just the lease S5s!

But its aggravating nonetheless. I WANT MY CAR! And you guys are 10 days ahead of us who's cars came into Grimsby yesterday.

Just had my E Class Coupe collected. No charges which is as expected. Apparently it is going straight to a BCA auction. The collection chap reckoned lease companies don't mind selling at big losses through auctions as they can offset/claim back against tax? He thought my car would go for around £10k. 15 plate with 12k miles on the clock and nearly £40k new. Sounds a bit low to me?

Two weeks today and I will be taking delivery of my new S5 Coupe. Black with Grey Leather, VC, HHA, Privacy Glass and flat bottomed steering wheel. Looking forward to it!

I spoke to them today and they said they cannot prioritise any vehicles but they guarantee that they will be here by the end of the month. They said to call back next week as they should have a better idea of dates. I went ahead and booked my inspection/collection in for the 30th/31st March.

Make sure when you collect your new cars you have the Audi connect fob for the security code required by the MMI attached to your key!! They took mine of and put a dealer fob on instead, now I cannot connect my phone to the car without the fob code on it. Called them today chasing up where it went....what a palaver as they don't know who's lost it, PDI center or the dealers. Audi connect is just a brick without it.

Is what's on the fob the same as the myAudi PIN? I have already logged in to the app but thought I just needed to type that in to the MMI system?

No, you need the key fob with a security key code on it.
