The dealer informed me this week that the delivery on my A5 is now December (originally August) and a shortage of the Ti wheels for the S Line + (PQX) is the cause.

Has anyone else been told the same?

I haven't heard anything from my dealer concerning this. I believe the 2012's S-Line package only include the Y-Spoke 19" rims, not the Titanium rims that were available on the 2011's.

You may also want to post your commission number in the Commission Number Check thread for up to date information about your build.

According to the 2012 A5 Coupe Order Guide, the S line plus package (code PQX) comes with the 19" Titanium 5-arm-rotor design wheels with 255/35 summer tires. The 19" Y-spoke are listed as a stand alone option but it says: "n/a with PRZ,PQX".

I'll post my commission # on that thread and see if someone can find out the actual build date. Thanks for the tip.

What's also interesting/confusing is that the way the 2012 vs. 2011 order guide lists the details for the S-line package.

Actually it looks like the

S Line bumpers and side rocker moldings
S Line badges on fenders

are most likely included in the "S line exterior package" in the 2012 order guide. I'm still not sure if the S line sill inlays would count as an exterior package or not. So the only other thing I am unsure of is whether or not the 2012 has the S line steering wheel or the sport steering wheel.

I would guess the S Line door sill inlays are included in the "S line exterior package".

It would make more sense if the steering wheel was the S line since it will be S line everywhere else inside the car, but it's notable that the 3-spoke stering wheel is listed under "Sport package" on the order guide.

Hmmm... they started putting those same wheels on the A4, so I'm not sure why they would do that if they are experiencing supply issues.

MrClean07

I agree. That's why I thought I'd post and see if anyone else has heard the same story. Supposedly there are around 45 other orders in the same situation...at least that's what I've been told.
My order date was May 18th so maybe it's something that has just come up recently.

I was able to find another guy over at Audizine that just received a call from his dealer stating his S5 estimated delivery date for the Titanium package was pushed back from September to December.

I also have a '12 A5 S Line waiting with an original delivery date of late September/early October. I'm hoping that once you get your commission number check, we will both have a better idea about delivery times.

My order was placed on June 20th.

I've been told that my 2012 A5 special order car (S-Line, ordered in April/May 2011) won't arrive until December 2011 or January 2012. My dealer was unsure why it was going to take so long. I thought the delay was due to the special order color, but my dealer said they it might be due to other supply issues, so maybe the wheel issue is part of the problem.
