Default 3-4 weeks. breathe deep this is the beginning of the hard part.

call your dealer and find out when it'll be cleared and then you can determine the quickest it'll be there will be 2 weeks.

good luck!

you'll know in 4 weeks time that it was all worth the wait.

everyone of us who did wait knows this implicitly!

Default Just an FYI, when you reply, you can type your response in the subject line

like I did.

much easier to understand,

toanswer your question, it's gotta clear customs, find a truck, get checked out, all that craaaaap. and it'll never happen as quick as we the customer want.

just the deal the way it is.

Default Thanks for the tip new to this type of MB

my dealer said that it should be ready in about a week, is he lying? i have to have a car by the latest next week, so should i tell him to just keep looking?

Default hah! quick learner you are ;P

no he's not lying it's just important for you to know what the real vs. proposed expectations are.

AOA has always been a bit "sketchy" to say the least in being accurate for our delievery/build date/ etc.. of our cars...

mine was 2 weeks then became 11 days, so not so bad, but if you consider my first OMG must have one day was nOv. 2nd and my first order date was 12/10/03
my delivery date of 5/6/04 was a wee bit more than I could handle. Just search my user name and you'll see waiting is TEH SUCK! ;P

yours will come soon, congrats and welcome.

be gentle for the first 1000 miles and undestand that the car won't be at full break in power until almost 5000 (yes) 5000 miles.

trust me, you'll adore this vehicle!

Default Thanks

yea i cant wait for this car ive wanted one ever since last summer when i drove it. When my M3 was stolen in june i was actually excited because now i get to get an S4. I know thers a lot of comparision between the M and S but for an all around car the S4 wins hands down IMO. I especially love that V8 note! Looking foward to some good discussions with you guys.
