My car arrived today, and I will be picking it up tomorrow. Had clear bra hood, door cups, headlights, and front door edges wrapped. Aside from remembering my checkbook, any advice? I'm probably going to sedate myself tonight to get a decent night's sleep. Insurance is set up. Read through half of the manual already. 2017 in black w/alu-optic. 26.7 miles. No high revs/high speeds. Anything else?
My dealer told me to follow the recommendation in the dash regarding max revs, but didn't say anything about avoiding sport or dynamic mode until 1000 miles (I certainly suspect that at least a few of the 50 or so people who must have test driven my RS3 before I purchased must have seen the 7000 rpm shift point and heard the full throttle exhaust).
Wow, what a beauty, pics just don't do any justice. Nonetheless, I will try to post one. Set aback by the aluminum trim...I had my doubts, but it works.
Thanks for the feedback. The one thing I forgot to do, was check to see what version of software I have. I do not see the adjustment for a subwoofer in my 2017 B&O system...shouldn't I have one, as others were posting?
The dealer explained that the engine was already broken in, and only the launch control should wait until 1000 miles. I didn't really get on it. Just enjoying the drive and can't stop driving it, having come from a Mazda 3.
Probably go back in the garage and make some more adjustments with a cold one in the other hand.

My dealer said the same thiing - the RS3 engines are built to very precise tolerances and run in at the factory, and don't require any further break-in when delivered. They can be run hard off the showroom floor. I'm avoiding hitting the rev limiter and avoiding launch control for the first 1,000, but otherwise enjoying it immensely!

Well even if the pictures aren't doing the car justice; it's absolutely gorgeous so CONGRATS!
