There's an article link under "Model Guide" (AW) about this...

Default Since I owned one, here's the deal...

The Neiman Marcus Edition was limited to 100 cars. These coupes were 180 hp FWDs. The color was Nimbus Gray exterior and Moccasin Red interior (not a baseball interior). While the interior was not baseball, a better grade of leather was used.

The cars had a plaque which stated the unique number of each respective vehicle. The wheels were highly polished aluminum, but the finish on mine broke down and they were replaced (for me) with chromed wheels at Audi's expense. The vehicles had all options available at that time, with the exception of NAV and cell phone.

It was a great package and competitively priced. That NM with FWD was very nimble and light on its feet. It had MkI suspension, which was very nice.

Unfortunately, the car was a very early build TT and many (especially mine) had a fair number of problems. In many cases, the NMs and other non-NM TTs had a transmission problem where the tranny would grind when shifting into 2nd gear.

It was a very fun car and I was both happy and sad to see it go.

There's some truth to that. Generally, I recommend avoidance of early build TTs. Especially FWD.

Default One slight negative...

The fact that it has a spoiler probably means that the recall work was done and thus it no longer has the MkI suspension.

Oh well, at least you got a 100k mile warranty.

Enjoy!

Default That TT has it on the seat too...

I have that same weird dimple near the asspad of my driver's seat just like in the pics of this car. I'm lost as to what makes it manifest itself there.
