Looks Amazing!
Not sure if that's a compliment or not, but Car Buff, I think it looks fantastic! The Ti package looks, in my opinion, better on your black than it does on Ibis white, which is what I ordered. Congrats!
After three years with my current black car, I'm tired of the maintenance. So I chose white. But the black looks great to me!

I got a package deal with the dealership. The tinting (LLumar 35%) was approx. Cdn $350 and the 3M bra (cover front portion of hood, fender and full front bumper) was approx. Cdn $700. Used the dealership for the convenience so that I won't have to worry about these things later.

Thanks for all your compliments and comments. The black styling package defintely makes the car look sleek, IMO. Also, the ti wheels hide the brake dust as you can't really see the brake dust until you look closer. The ti colour blends the brake dust into the wheels. Also, easier to clean as the surface is smooth without ridges.
A potential problem I noticed was that the coolant level was at the min level. I can't remember what is was when I got the car 1.5 weeks ago (as I was distracted with admiration for the car) but I can't believe the dealership would try to save money by filling less than at max level when prepping a new car. I drove about 900 km (or approximately 500 miles) so far (drove around the highway/city to add mileage to quicken the break in period) but not aggressively. I heard about the water pump failure in earlier 2010 S4's but I thought it would have been corrected in the 2011 production. I also noticed a slight burnt smell from the car (noticeable in the garage) but I originally attributed that to the new car engine smell but maybe not. I haven't noticed any leaks on the garage floor. Hopefully, it's nothing (cross my fingers).
Anyways, now back to good thoughts of driving my S4 in a hair pin turn down the ...

Does anyone know if the ti spec is the same as the tri spoke? looks like 19x8.5, but wondering if they are et43 as well.
I bet the 20" rs5's would look great, but likely et25 and won't fit.

It looks terrific!
I finally received my 2011 S4 after my mid-May order for promised early July delivery (one anxious month behind schedule). Picked it up this weekend and enjoying everything about the car. Purposely drove several hours each day to get 400 kms this weekend. Trying to get a quick break in period so that I can enjoy the car full throttle without oil consumption problems later on.
I have attached some pictures which has the special order black styling package and ti wheels (Canadian MY2011) in Brilliant Black. Somewhat regret choice since I already see dust against the clean paint but ti wheels hide the brake dust better than the other alloy wheels.
One pet peeve is that when filling up the gas, the nozzle pops every few seconds. Tried pulling out the nozzle a bit which helped but when started the car, noticed it didn't fill to full. Afraid one day I may over fill and get gas on the great black paint. I will share my good/bad experiences as they come. Now, I have to go back to enjoying my car

Hope you enjoy it a ton. I've got an S5 on the way configured the same.
