The Bavarians are!
or It can get worse, if these "S" wheels are coming from Italy...

Latest update on S-line/19" wheel delay (take antacid or blood pressure medication before reading) - BMWBig6 2008-08-12 16:54:36 (572 views)

They should have perhaps launched the B8 as 2010 model so they get their act together - Bada Bing 2008-08-13 13:43:36 (55 views)

It's only August 14th. IMO it's a little early be describing the A4 launch as "disasterous". - Bob58 2008-08-14 02:18:07 (19 views)

I wouldn't call it disasterous... maybe hamfisted. The car has been in production for a year... - Hokie_Audi 2008-08-14 05:45:03 (40 views)

The only folks "affected" by this are those ordering a vehicle before one is even..... - Bob58 2008-08-14 07:22:53 (57 views)

It's actually bit more than that... it's all sports suspension upgrade wheels... - Hokie_Audi 2008-08-14 10:49:16 (38 views)

Actually it's not just the 19" S-line wheels, the 18" sport pkg wheels (option PPS) are affected too - BMWBig6 2008-08-14 08:17:34 (41 views)

These problems are especially pathetic given that the car has been in production for over a year now - Hokie_Audi 2008-08-13 13:48:28 (48 views)

I keep considering ditching the S Line option... - Blake P 2008-08-13 09:44:43 (87 views)

Just wait till they complete the customer service Trifecta and tell you the price has gone up 3%... - Hokie_Audi 2008-08-12 21:54:05 (101 views)

Maybe not middle finger, but fax/scan of sales agreement from another brand auto - BMWBig6 2008-08-13 11:40:52 (47 views)

In that case I'd definitely lead with the middle finger as the coversheet. - Hokie_Audi 2008-08-13 11:50:51 (30 views)

I'm starting to wonder though... - gk1 2008-08-12 19:36:46 (150 views)

I think at this point fuckery similar to what's going on in A5/S5 land occurs. - Hokie_Audi 2008-08-12 21:55:53 (104 views)

Are you serious? People have actually slipped from 2008 to 2009 allocations? - BMWBig6 2008-08-13 11:35:57 (41 views)

I've seen at least one statement to this effect in just casual reading on the A5/S5 forum. - Hokie_Audi 2008-08-13 11:52:40 (40 views)

I've been trying to figure this out too... also, what about all of the orders that are not even... - Spacecadet_CC 2008-08-12 21:46:47 (75 views)

Damn. That sucks. - gk1 2008-08-12 18:42:01 (95 views)

It is starting to sound like the entire A4 line is "delayed introduction" - Spacecadet_CC 2008-08-12 21:34:46 (38 views)

Dealer did not discriminate between Avant or Sedan, factory had already assigned production date... - BMWBig6 2008-08-12 19:24:44 (79 views)

Does Ronal still make wheels for Audi? - Stampchez 2008-08-12 17:49:04 (52 views)

Not very quickly. - Hokie_Audi 2008-08-12 21:56:33 (36 views)

I love my Ronals... - BMWBig6 2008-08-12 17:51:17 (458 views)

Ronal makes wheels for Audi . . . ;-) - Shredderman 3.5 2008-08-12 18:58:05 (57 views)

Man, that sucks hard. If it's any consolation... - seoultrain 2008-08-12 17:16:11 (110 views)

sport package 18"s delayed too? - lhsa 2008-08-12 20:56:22 (79 views)

18" sport package (code PPS) are also included in the original delay - BMWBig6 2008-08-14 08:20:14 (34 views)
