My car came from JCT600 and it was PDIed and delivered from their PDI centre rather than the supplying dealer (Audi Sheffield)
Had to provide all my insurance details aswell for the car before they would arrange delivery another thing I’ve never had to do confused
Surely that's fairly standard when it's not your car? In the same way as needing to insure a mortgaged house?

I’ve been leasing cars for years and never been asked before

Is anyone else having delays from build completion to shipping?

Mine was built by 23/5 but it STILL awaiting a boat. Audi UK originally told me it left the factory on 23/5 and to call back today as it will then have been ~15 working days and go to top of the list..... yet, when I call today they tell me it’s only arrived at the port of exit TODAY and is on the waiting list along with many others and that they have 4 weeks to ship it in. Bloody Audi!

Mine was complete around a similar date. However, it arrived in the UK today according to the tracker! biggrin

Well got delivered yesterday, very happy with it, averaging 17mpg only bad point but can live with that.

My S5 has averaged 29.5 over 17500 miles and yesterday set a PB of 41.5mpg over roughly 100 miles. It did get better with time but from a few weeks I was averaging about 27.5. So it should get better unless you only drive in town or like it is nicked (either way, you can't really expect it to be good on juice). In general I drive it quite quickly but I try to drive economically when there is little point in trying to make good progress such as yesterday. That same run I normally do 34-38mpg. I do normally use supermarket fuel but yesterday had BP Ultimate in it.

Good news smile my S4 has arrived at St Edmunds on the weekend , awaiting now the OEM Tint and then a Detailer i had chosen to apply ceramic coat. Should be another week i am guessing before it get's delivered to me but maybe longer depending on how long BCA take to arrange for collection of my R Estate.

Anyone else waiting for St Edmund's Audi ?

Great news! Mine has arrived too now.

Are you getting OEM tints done from dealers?

Yes from Audi Bury st Edmunds probably a third party they use. Is there any issue applying tint to a lease ?

I was considering it. the ceramic coat just makes cleaning the car for the next 2 years much easier. What are you planning ?

I have confirmed with dealers that there’s no issue.

How much are they charging?

I also received an email from Bury St Edmunds that my S4 arrived! Much sooner than I expected as my Touareg isnt due to go back until Sept. will give VW a call to see what options there is.

How much are the window tints via them?

Also putting a ceramic coating on my S4, but will be doing it myself rather than the hundreds for a detailer to do it.

As mentioned will keep it cleaner for longer and make cleaning it a lot easier.

Come on all you guys who have just received your cars, what's it like? and compare it to what you had before. I am going from a M235i to a S4 (arrives late July)

Looking forward to it but am a bit concerned it will be a little grown up and dull. Also starting to really regret not getting the Virtual Console.

....and I’m hoping to be in mine by sometime next week. Coming from an R estate. Also interested in comparisons
