Congrats, sir.

It seems a 3 month wait is on par for German autos? Excuse my ignorance, I own a lowly Mitsubishi which was my first car out of college.

My 2011 S5 coupe order was placed two weeks ago and I got an e-mail yesterday with an ETA of early September. And yes, the wait it pretty painful

That's nothing I ordered October of 2007, and I didn't get mine until October 2008, in fact, wait times were so long back then, that my 2008 order wind up becoming a 2009 model .

3 months, that's nothing.

Thanks. 3 months is pretty normal. Sometimes 4 when you get a Exclusive Color. Sometimes its 4 for no reason. Sometimes its 2 for no reason. I live in Houston which is the port city for the south for AoA so I can usually get the car a day or two after the ship docs, dont have to wait long after that.

Hmmm....so whenever I order (BMW or A5), I should do it with a dealership on the eastern seaboard.

Out of curiosity, is the S5 pricing also $1000 over invoice as I understand folks are getting with the A5?

Not sure. I know there is about 4000 dollars between MSRP and Invoice on the car I speced out. The S5 has very strong resale and is rare to come by at the dealers. I have seen them sell for close to sticker still even recently.
