Not sure if this helps but in terms of timing, my car arrived in Baltimore on 07/05. I had the VDC install the carbon fiber lip/spoiler and the delivery truck arrived at my dealer (Perillo/Downtown Chicago) on Friday morning 07/12. The dealer was swamped since everybody wanted to take delivery to take advantage of the weather for the weekend but I was able to drive away with my new toy later that night.

I certainly hope you (OP) get your car soon, I can barely empathize with the agony of waiting.

....and since any post is useless without pics:

Nice pic g222leav, looks like you modded the grilles already!
Based on your delivery schedule, (and mines coming to Motorwerks in Barrington) I will hope to to see it first of the next week of 7/22. Same deal, rear CF spoiler at VPC. Another delay for me will be Clear Bra, MPE exhaust, frt splitters and rear diffuser installs at dealer. May have to prod them a bit!

Anyone know if late means you miss a dock spot or maybe they don't do this at night? Just curious (and impatient )

This same thing happened to my boat the Tombarra near Santander, Spain. It may be that they have to wait for a spot to dock, took almost a whole day to finally dock there.

Argh!!!

Looks amazing, I really need to see one of these in person. Would you say that pics don't do this color justice?

apologies to RS4now for highjacking his thread.

sorry i didn't realize it sooner, but a lot of us was using your thread to discus our own problems.

you've been real cool about it. thanks!

[RS4now]

No worries!! I like reading other guys issues, makes me forget ive been waiting since april! It wouldn't be so bad if hadn't sold the RS4. The dealership gave me a Mini Van for a week and that turned into a MINI Cooper. Its not an S so it barely moves. I keep cutting people off in traffic by accident thinking i can get in front of them when i cant. I hope only one more week.

[JohnC28]

Got the call from my dealer this morning; my car arrives Sat.
Install clear bra and MPExhaust Mon, pick it up Tues.
Crap, thats STILL almost another week!

Your car arrives sat! thats awesome. Did you have anything put on at the port? Im wondering if mine is coming sat too? My sales guy has been MIA last two days, he may b off.

[JohnC28]

Thats what he said, Fri or Sat, will confirm later today.
Had the CF rear spoiler installed at port.

NICE!!! I had CF spoiler, mirrors, black front grill at port. I wonder if mine is on way. Im holding off on exhaust for now. Saturday would be a perfect day to pick up new wheels.

[RS4now]

mine still says its at the port! dealer hasn't said otherwise, anyone else?

[RS4now]

It's in Baltimore. But it feels like Germany. A week at Port here in US seems like a long time to me.

[JohnC28]

I just hung up phone talking to my dealer; scheduled to drop it off today. Odd your dealer has no update since both cars were on same ship and coming to Chicago.
Mine left Baltimore Wed, was kind of expecting it yesterday...

I have been reading so many posts on exhausts and remember all the ones from the Audi forums. Id rather have one with Real performance improvements and and absolutely No drone. Also, im not going to pay 7k for it. Im going to put the 2k break in and go from there. GTS Dct, servo, maybe tune, then exhaust. If i dont't like the look of stock ill put different tips on.

you sound like a man with a plan...smart!

i went the easy route and got the MPE installed at the port. don't get me wrong, i really like it sound wise....but i also like the idea of not having to deal with storing a stock exhaust and the fact that it's oem is a real plus for me,too.

good points as well! The MPE is definitely on the list. No drone, lighter, i assume some sound improvements and performance, seeing that performance is in the name of the product! Another great point is that its a BMW exhaust so no worries about warranty.
