Surprise surprise dealer contacted me yesterday to say cars not available until December due to engine shortages and scheduled build dates.  Part ex valuation dropped by an estimated 4-5k for another 6 months of use.  It looks like a consistent message so I will bite the bullet, keep the order in and keep driving round in the 40d.  I can always cancel before the November build up date if I decide not to go through with it after all. Sheesh.

Good call in keeping the order. No rush to cancel and congrats.

Slight improvement; now expected end November.  I am biting my lip not to up the spec any more (detachable towbar and TV - mmmmuuusssttt ressiiissstttt!!)

About the same as I get my new wheels then, I have build date now of 22/10

Interesting figures on them both too:
RS4 B8 - 4.2L, 450 hp and 317 lb-ft
X6M50d - 3.0L, 381 hp and 546 lb-ft

That torque would make a midrange tussle quite exciting to watch

And the Audi even comes with a 4-ring tow chain on the front that you can use to help it accelerate with your BMW...... :spiteful: :spiteful:

Given mine is already running 345/516 I can assure the Audi will be in a different league. It will also sound nicer than the tractor too!!!

But down the pub they can only 'hear' the stats m8  )

You didn't mention the weight ....

My slow and lardy combine harvester order has now moved to 'yellow status' - edging closer.....

Isaac will put it back on Red though......

Locked in to build now; but not before I slipped in the TV and towbar 

My neighbour ordered his new Cayenne in Feb for June delivery and is still waiting.  Hope BMW are not going to pull the same trick.....

Build date just confirmed at w/b 8 Oct. 

Neighbour also got his Cayenne yesterday; good omen I think!

Eta in uk?

My RS4 is being built 22/10 but no confirmed eta yet because Audi want to stage launch times

Got invite to pre-launch drive event at millbrook in October. BMW doing anything similar. I know they do with the proper Ms

Ps just noticed Porsche have launched 380bhp V8 diesel cayenne
