Default Picking up my Phantom Black S4 Today! Updated w/ pics.

My S4 comes home today... I'll def. get some pics posted in the next few days.

Phantom Black S4
S-tronic
Premium +
Nav
Rear Diff
B&O Sound
Full black Silk Nappa
Carbon Fiber Trim


I got lucky with this one... early in March I was planning on ordering a Brilliant Black w/ Alcantara seats with an ETA of mid/late June, but my dealer saw this one unallocated on its way out of the factory and snagged it for me... so about a 5-6 week wait time. Got lucky!

Updated 4/12/10 w/ tons of pics... see top of page 2.

Congrats! I picked up an identical one Wednesday (see the other threads for some of the backstory). Where are you?

I've only got 45 miles on it so far (which is a travesty), but I'm planning on working it out this evening and over the weekend. I'm still a little unconfortable with the Audi user experience (I'm coming from 4 straight BMWs), so I haven't had a chance to focus on driving yet.

Congrats....looking forward to pics.

Very similar options to my Meteor Gray S4, other than the fact that you ordered the carbon fiber.

Long Island, NY ... but I bought it in NJ since Long Island Audi dealers were getting away with charging full MSRP.

Very nice. I had this exact same car ordered with 19s. I figured once I added these options to the P+ I might as well spend a couple grand more for the Prestige.

Sounds like me last week. Takes a good week or so to get used to all these gadgets. My 135i seemed so primitive in comparison.

Congrats! Mine arrived Thursday, picked it up last night. I love the Phantom black in the sunlight! I feel like I need to "study" the manual for a few days to get familiar with everything. Clear bra install on Monday, highly recommended if you are thinking about it. I have it on my 04, with 86K on the odo no paint chips on the front of the car, still looks almost new although the film is starting to come up on one corner so I may have it re-done. Enjoy your new ride. Cheers!
