    I ordered a Brilliant Black S4 Avant today for delivery in December. I got 11% off retail price.

    Here's a pic from the configurator

    Anything you recommend I change - I have a week before the spec locks down

    Wow 11% off? That seems like a lot...is that off the rotr?

    I would go with one of the 19" wheel options unless you were planning on an aftermarket set regardless.

    Envious either way! I wish we would get this avant on our side of the pond. Enjoy! Nice Christmas present!

    Any shots of the interior? I'm curious about the rotor grey leather. Like @kdaffy, I too am envious of the S4 avants; congrats!

    Interior is a mid to dark gray - TBH looks similar to black in this pic

    I really wish they didn't do that shift gear like that. I test drove a B9 and absolutely hated it. Definitely something to get used to

    How about you order me one and ship it to me via fed ex? So f'ing jealous. Start a build thread so I can cry myself to sleep at night. FU Audi.

    Love the spec, but unless you're planning to get aftermarket later, I'd REALLY suggest you go for one of the 19" wheel options. The RS4 "V-spoke" style wheels are my preference, and are quite reasonably priced.

    Daytona gray get your emblems off eBay if you are planning on changing them. Are those wheels stock?

    these are the stock alloy options - the 18" are the no cost option and I think they go best with the colour combo of the car Ive picked. But interested in other folk's comments. I do agree 19" looks better than 18" .....

    I think the middle alloy of the bottom 3 is the RS4 V spoke you are describing?

    Yes, the bottom middle would be my personal choice... 18s look too small IMO and I'd have to upgrade. I could live with the 19" options, and I think the price is reasonable.

    Certainly don't let us change your mind if you feel the five spoke 18" look best, but just giving my opinion!

    Recommend 19" as well; otherwise, a very nicely configured Avant.

    Considering you could do 20s and really sit pretty... you should.

    Correct, Audi wheels should be your winter set.
