I think he paid a few thousand over msrp so maybe the dealer recognized that with their kind heart.

I’m gonna call and offer $10k less for selling a used blackwing as new.

I wouldn’t buy a new blackwing with 92 miles. That dealer will experience karma when it sits for months as a “used” car.

I like both wave and coastal…mine happens to be coastal but I would have been happy with either 😉

I think the black badges will look nice on the green. I did all of the badges and emblems from savage and 404parts.

I love the higher tier semi aniline seats…have other cars and SUVs, and they are my favorite, most comfortable for me, even longer drives

Agree. I ordered a loaded up 24 blackwing at msrp with cf1/cf2, carbon seats, ceramic brakes, manual, etc from an out of state higher volume Michigan dealer…order in system 6/23, allocation assigned in 7/23, delivered 12/23. It can happen quickly. My previous order for a 2023 model never...

That’s great…solid gains. No check engine light or error codes?

Personally, I would get the 20” wheels and tires to get the look you desire plus the wheels will look killer on the car. The problem with lowering springs at older age is getting in and out of a lower vehicle as well as increased potential to scrape carbon fiber splitter. Just my $0.02.

That spec sounds perfect. Green on black/tan seats with a manual and CF1. Great find! I think you gotta find some of the factory bronze wheels as it will go so well with that color scheme. I have them on my coastal blue and it goes well together. Definitely sign up for spring mountain class...

Given your past car history, I think you’re really going to enjoy the blackwing! What color, 6MT or auto, and any specific options you had to have? It’s gonna be a fun week for you. As for tips, are you planning any window tint or PPF?

Yesh unfortunately in Chicago you need an AWD car for those days with heavier snow (not as bad past few years though) and the RS4 with a manual transmission and V8 with 8250 rpm rev limit makes the winter commute enjoyable. It’s 17 years old but has held up pretty well despite many winters. In...

Congrats on the BW! It’s already March…I would save money and drive on summers. They work fine even in 30s…just take it easy on throttle especially when turning. I’m in Chicago and have had no problem but I do not drive in snow or on wet roads if cold.

Wow! Long wait! It will be worth it. Looks like a nice build. What color?

B7 RS4 with snow tires is a beast.
