Do you know this information because,
A) Your Audi sales rep proactively is keeping you up to date?
B) You call your SR several times a weeks?
C) You have some insider contact?
D) You have a magical connection to your car already?

Do tell because I will love to be able to stock my ordered car's movements through this process as well as you can.

If you have your commission order # you can request Audi USA to track it for you here:

Audi USA Sold Order Tracking?

Sales reps usually refer back to Audi USA for tracking information, but the "Audi USA" rep is very responsive and has helped a ton of people track their orders.

A combination of the above, my dealer, & asking on here. Really I just asked my dealer to let me know when my car was expected to be completed. As it got close to that date I asked him for a completion date. Then requested a few updates to match a ship.

Still strange how secretive the whole thing is. Maybe they don't want customers seeing the frequent changes in time frames and having to answer for things that are out of their control. The whole thing lacks clarity. They should be able to walk you through each step and the expected amount of time. I got very vague and little information from my dealer as if they really don't know or have any idea what to expect for how long it would take for an order to even be accepted.

Maybe they need to make a portal targeted for customers. How hard would that be? Let the sales people get back to their jobs.

I agree. In the UK buyers can track any vehicle ordered in their "yourAudi" portal. They probably have this available in other parts of Europe

Am I seeing this correctly? Are there no Audi ring caps over the wheel nut or was that something that was installed at the dealer?

They all have the center caps. Mine just hadn't finished going through the shop yet. I'm gonna post a thread with pictures of it all detailed tomorrow most likely.

Congrats on the pickup! I'm loving the black optics...definitely a must have for me. Can't wait to see more pics. The B9 rotor wheeels are more squared compared to the B8 ones.

It looks like the car has smoked tail lights. Is this part of the BO package?

I think they are just normal lights but look darker due to the lighting/angle.
