I'm trying to put together an S5 Sportback ED order with an Audi Exclusive paint (Nardo) and Black Optics. AoA rejected it yesterday because of the Black Optics. After we spoke today, my dealer decided to re-enter the order without BO believing that the option will become available before the order freezes. If it's not available by then, we'll cancel the order and start again. So we're all hoping BO becomes available soon.

Ugh, I told myself I'd wait for black optics and order nardo along with it. Now tossing around the idea of glacier white instead. Would be nice to save ~$4k haha, but gonna try to hold out and wait for updates here

This morning my dealer forwarded an email that he had received from AoA confirming my build and ED pick-up dates. As I looked through the email string between my dealer and the AoA ED guy, there was the following comment from the AoA ED guy:
"He did ask about Black Optic, I will keep my eye out. Between you and I, I don't think it will be released until next year for the Sportbacks."
I don't think that this is any sort of definitive data point, but it is disappointing nevertheless.

So if I understand this correctly, Audi is known to introduce options like the Black Optics Package at any point during the model year or is this just a delayed introduction? For example, folks mentioned the S4 did not initially have the BO available, but that has since changed.
Bottom line, will I have to wait until MY19 to get BO or is there a chance of it being available before the next MY. I understand we are all guessing here, but what has past practice been with Audi (relatively new here)?
Thanks
