Aye - I will do - just want to secure my £500 back 1st - I wrote a detailed letter to them today and emailed it to them. Doubtless, they'll ring me on Monday to re-attempt getting me to continue with it - but I've signed the order for the identical car @ Wayside - deal done - agreement signed - deposit taken - car mint (save 1 or 2 little things - 10 times better than the other car).
The spec is absolutely identical to the other, colour, interior colour - toys - everything.
The new MMI is to die for btw guys - wait till you see it.
Noticed that illuminated sills seems to be standard on the D4, it's not an upgrade in the Exec pack - so must be standard. Quite nice - not as big as the D3's sills - but still very nice.
Auto-boot opens quicker and does't sound as "whir'y" if you know what I mean.
If you have the full-size spare wheel option - which this one does (yes, it's an option on the newer car!) - the car's battery is in the void of the spare wheel - I opened the boot lifted the carpet above the spare and the full sized matching alloy is face up (which I prefer - as my wheels face seems to get damaged slightly in the boot if you didn't have a cloth underneath it) and then inside the wheel void is the battery - so if you need to connect anything - you have to remove the spare wheel 1st.
Also, if you have this option, you have less vertical space in the boot! Yes, the boot depth is raised - which is a bit of a pity; it's still large - but def. not as large as the D3.
Another thing I noticed; the wing mirrors folded up when the dealer locked the car. I had an M3 that did that - always wanted it on my 8's - but MMI dodnlt do ing. So I'm guessing (& hoping) this can be programmed by user via MMI & not only the dealer via diagnostics.
Reverse camera is nice - though I've never had than option before - so you guys may have already seen that.
Anyway - Wayside are going to deliver it to me - probably Friday but they need to fit a tow-bar to it and I have a cheap private reg to go on it - which I left with them to assign tot he car.
The car is still on Wayside's & Audi's sites - so pics are there if anyone is interested - but it's identical to the other one that I posted pics of (the reg is literally 1 letter difference to the other one).
