    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    Should have kept the R8 manual - collectors item! I have tracked an R8 Plus and I would love an R8 manual but will never be able to afford one.

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    After I got away from driving tow vehicles suitable for pulling race car trailers as my daily driver, I ordered a 2016 Audi S4. It was a manual with a supercharged V6 and I loved that car. But I needed a bigger back seat so I moved to a S6 which is a great, fast luxury car. While gorgeous and a...

    4BW Floor/trunk mats

    The last ones I got about a year ago seemed a bit thinner but were fine. I have probably bought 5-6 sets over the years. What I do believe is that everyone else has raised their prices on these type mats to more closely match Weather Tech and they are very profitable! They spend a fortune on the...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    Great - I have been placed in the 4300 / DELAYED goat pen with a bunch of my fellow forum members. Hi everyone! I assume that means it has been shipped to some yard and is now waiting on a chip or tire or muffler bearing. The saga continues but I still cannot wait! :)

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    As many have mentioned, a lot of the experience is the dealer. If it wasn't for the 5BW manual, I might have seriously looked at a RS6. It is a fantastic car and looks even better live than in pictures. I love my Audi dealer, they have been great and tracked the 2016 S4 manual i ordered and...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    The next update should be interesting. It seems like everyone is reaching 3800 status and then going directly to DELAYED. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. It would be great to see a bunch of those DELAYED go back to 4000 status but we shall see.......

    Anyone going to spring mountain soon.

    Stupid question. I am now at 3800 status and will have the VIN but obviously haven't completed the purchase. Is that enough to make a reservation at Spring Mountain? I know the reservations are booked for manuals well into the fall and I would feel comfortable booking something late fall; if...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    After over a year, it has been built! 3800!! Was a 4/18 ... 5/9 and it may be delayed and/or stuck in shipping so who knows when I will get it. But today I smile, at least until the reality of the next phase of the goat rodeo hits.

    Low oil warning light

    I have a 2018 S6 and it has never burned any oil but my 2016 S4 had a hood sensor (yes) go bad that reported a low oil situation and gave some dire warning. It took the dealership two visits to figure out that it was a hood latch sensor that had gone bad and it was not low on oil. Love the...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    I am seeing 6/27 TWPs in Rob's database. The supposed manufacturing cutoff date is 7/7 with my2023 starting on 7/11. Many orders are in a delayed status, I guess for lack of parts. The obvious questions is what happens to orders in 3000+ status that don't get build or completed prior to 7/7? 1...

    I am still showing 5/9 - 3400 as well.

    I actually agree with you as well. It seems as you advance stages, the frustration level grows!

    Maybe our red seatbelts have been eaten by the goats. Who knows but it is getting frustrating. :mad: :mad:

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    I am 5/9, originally 4/18 as well and my build is exactly like yours, minus the CCB's. I wonder if there isn't some truth to the manual shortage issue.

    CT4-V What Don't You Like About Your CT4-V Blackwing

    Another Audi person moving to a BW. The only reason I am switching from a S6 is I miss the manual. I had a S4 manual which I loved but needed a bigger back seat, hence the S6. I have driven the RS5 and it is a very nice car.

    First gear, apply a fair amount of throttle, aggressively let out the clutch and counter steer a little. That will greatly reduce the turning radius. :)
