Just ordered S5 and looking forward to it....
Quartz Grey
Automatic
Navigation
Tech Package
Drive Select
Carbon Atlas inlays
B & O stereo
Looked at the M3 (to pricey in comparison to S5) and the C63 (not as nice looking).
Anxiously awaiting the boat now...

Re: What are they telling you is the ETA?
Since I'm getting in on an order slot that was cancelled prior to build - they're saying earliest is end of April, latest is end of May. If they had to wait for a new order allocation slot, it could have been 2-3 months longer.
According to them, car will be built in the next 2-3 weeks according to their allocation. It was hard to find exactly the color/equipment combination on the East Coast for a dealer trade, hence the order.

Re: Wow... nice find. A from scratch order (waiting for an allotment etc..) would be much longer!
The economy is causing this I suspect. There are "many" (in S5 terms) cars out there that are the victims of owners abandoning their orders due to financing falling through, lay-offs, falling residuals, etc. The problem is, these are all configured to someone else's desires. For instance, found a Quartz Grey automatic S5 on a dealer lot, but only option was the B&O stereo. This was a cancelled order that was already built and in transit.
