Our 2012 Sprint Blue S4 finally arrived at the dealer on Monday night, exactly 10 weeks after we dropped it off in Zurich.

Of course the weather was the worst of what we are supposed to have this week, but when you've already had a taste and then waited that long we had to go get it.

Pic below of how it looked after we got home and pulled it in the garage. I'll try to get better pics of it cleaned up with the winter tire setup in the next couple days.

There are pics from the European delivery trip in this post:https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho...99&postcount=7

Great color choice........but I hope you have some snows or all seasons on hand.

Had Wintersport 3Ds mounted when we picked it up at the dealer.

Looks great so far, and you can thank the snow for saving you the time on blurring out your license plate ;-)

I thought audi discontinued sprint blue and yellow for 2012.... unless you go through audi exclusive...

Please advise.

I know that there's a European Delivery forum, but I'm curious - is the time it took from order to European delivery to US re-delivery normal? It's astounding to me compared to BMW's program (I've done five with them).

For example, a friend ordered a new 650 on September 20, we picked it up in Munich on October 28, dropped it off in Geneva on November 1 and it is being redelivered tomorrow, December 9 - about 11 weeks in total compared to what looks like seven months for Audi. It's crazy to me.

Front license plates aren't required in MI so that's actually the German tourist plate from the ED trip.

It was ordered as an Audi Exclusive color. Decided to pony up for that instead of a nav system that will be obsolete in 6 mo.

I don't know how normal it is. The car was available for pickup after the middle of August. We just decided that late Sep. worked better for us. We dropped it off on 9/27 and it arrived in the RI port on 11/11. It was supposedly selected for "Random Intensive exam" by US Customs which is why it took so long to get to MI.

Posted some pics of the car (which is actually clean for a change)in the winter tire setup thread:

Congrats ... that's my favorite colour on the car. Wish it was more available than it is.

Also, nice winter rims. Have the same package.
