Ok, we're all jealous. Look forward to seeing the photos, and hope all goes as planned for you.  Welcome to the forum!  So what spec did you got for?

Thanks for the greetings, and sorry, not trying to make anyone jealous- just excited!
Ordered carbon black with cinamon brown leather
Got a few extras- main ones media pack, sunroof and head up display. Heated front seats which is a cheek on that price car!

Got fairly good discount of 9% off total list price which I'm happy with.

Will post photos when eventually get it

If anyone is interested in a fully loaded 2009 S4 avant in February let me know!!

Well, you could start off with posting some pics of the Audi anyway  :camera: Nothing like looking at something nice.

9%, pah, I got 13% off mine  :P

Pretty much! I was lucky finding a dealer that was desperate to hit sales target to trigger a bonus payment from BMW. Although with the current X5 to be replaced in just over a year, you'd have thought there'd be some cracking deals to be had?  >:D >:D

I think I'd better stop there!

The X5/6 m50d are exceptional cars with an outstanding engine. I'm sure neither of you are going to lose any sleep over a few £s!!  Look forward to seeing the photos...
