    I seem to recall this comes in with another option on the RS4 ... although I can't recall which ... it is a good bit of kit ... one of my tyres lost about 0.3bar somehow and it showed that up ... no obvious reason found, but all has been well since.

    I can confirm that I Pod connector is definately an option. I have seen the standard equipment list today and some of the options rough pricing. The V10 will be coming about 12 months after the V8 launch. Will let you know when I hear more.

    Nice one ... maybe you could tell us ... or you could ask one of your friends ... how to best find out where we are on the UK delivery/waiting list ... a PM would be fine if you'd rather not post it in the forums ...

    I heard the bespoke B&O system in the A8 is the absolute business, definitely gets a tick for my R8...

    Indeed it is a bit of a push ... but like many things here ... us Brits tend to fork out more than most ... business class on flights for example ... ... don't get me started on those ...

    I've heard similar comments ... it's going to be difficult to justify coughing up approx £7k for an upgraded stereo ... especially seeing as how nice the engine will sound ... and quite likely the exhaust too.

    Not such a clear cut choice for me ... but I'll certainly be considering it.

    on the audi.de website the B and O is only 1440 euros /£965.00 option
    audi will never get away with charging 7k
