We pulled the trigger... One less Audi.....the allroad stays :-)
The A4 cab goes back this week the new( on order) twin turbo 135 is 5-6 weeks out.
300 LB ft of torque at 1400-5000 rpm. Commuting will be interesting if not quick. :-)

Just curious, this isn't a real Twin Turbo,or is it?...it's a small one to initiate low end boost
to eliminate the Turbo lag and then it kicks in the second bigger turbo from what I understand.

Nice choice. My sister and BIL got one
probably 5 or 6 weeks ago, and he's already had it on the track. Very nice car.
Don't chip it! They are very heat-challenged stock, and will go into limp mode under any chipped spirited driving. And BMW re-wrote the code for the 135 to be able to detect any software changes, even a piggyback chip. Will store the boost peaks in memory and can be retrieved by the dealer. Instant voided warranty. BMW figured the target audience would likely chip the cars.

Very cool! Is it the 135I convertible? Also, did you considering doing Euro Delivery through BMW?
That would be a great way to pick it up. First stop, Munich, then on to the A-bahn!
