Default 2012 A4 Prestige S-Line Monsoon Gray

Hi All, took delivery yesterday. Everything seems to be working great! I had Continental DWS All-Seasons mounted before pickup.

iPhone 4 with iOS5 connected fine with bluetooth and imported the contact list, when docked via AMI, had no trouble playing music. I have a 6' dock extension cable, but the glove box looks sealed up all around so haven't figured out how to run the extender to the center console yet. However the cable itself that I got from Amazon worked fine (CableJive I think was the brand).

Will most likely get some Tint in the near future.

Sorry for the bad photo, wasn't very good light conditions at the time and using my phone.

I've put on quite a few miles in the last couple weeks since delivery, I'm up to 750 or so. Does anyone know of any "signs" the break-in process was done correctly or incorrectly? Other than oil usage? The MMI is still showing full on the oil mark. I still need to order a dipstick to replace the plug. Most of my miles are all highway but I've been trying to vary the RPMS and engine breaking using the shift paddles.

I'm looking forward to some spirited driving after the break-in period.

There are no break-in signs. Mine registered a drop in the oil meter at 2200 miles. It has been burning oil at the rate of 1q/6k miles. I'm at 11k miles right now.
The max oil level they fill at the factory and my dealership is higher than the oil meter's max, which gives a false impression than the car is not burning oil at first.

Beauty! The S-line Prestige is a fantastic combo, the interior makes the vehicle unique amongst other A4s.

Thanks guys, ya I'm really loving it. I keep trying to find excuses to get it out on the road. I am hoping to wash it this weekend, I'll get some better pictures if so.

I was originally going to get a P+ with B&O and a few other things, but I fell in love with the S-Line seats while looking around the dealership. Ended up paying a bit more than I was looking to, but I'm quite happy with the purchase. My only gripe thus far is the dated MMI, but it works well enough that the awesomeness of the car in general more than makes up for it.

Default A few descent photos

Took some pictures with the good camera after giving it a quick rinse and rub down ( although hadn't vacuumed it yet )
