Default My 2006 A4 2.0t is almost here!

As per my first thread:

https://www.audiforums.com/m_81405/m..._/tm.htm#81405

The dude at the dealer called to tell me that the car is currently sitting at the port, waiting to be cleared. If all goes well, I should have it in about a week. Yay!

I'm just worried, though, as another thread mentioned vibration problems with the 2006 A4. Does anyone know what Audi has changed on the 2006 over the 2005? I know they've renamed some packages (for example, there is now a "Technology Package," which has the Lighting Package and other stuff lumped in, IIRC.)

Well, anyway, I will post pictures when I finally get the car. I'm gonna be driving it the whole first day!

Until then!

I havn't heard of any changes really other than bluetooth and the option packages. I wouln't worry about a vibration problem, it's not that common. Can't wait for the pictures. Glad to have another B7 in the forums!

Jestnomen,

Excellent! I highly doubt this but am going to ask anyway: is BlueTooth standard?

I see your car has a front Euro plate. All California cars have the mandatory rectangular front bumper, fitted for the American-style plates. Short of getting a new front spoiler, is it possible to change the license plate plastic (the black, horizontal piece) to a Euro version? I really hate to put an American plate there.

I really like your car. Black is so sexy!

The rectangle plate is required for all CA registered vehicles. If you get rid of it the cops will definatley give you a ticket.

Bluetooth is part of the new technology package.

There are three front bumper plate fillers. One for the US, a blank one with two chrome pieces that are horizontal, and the euro plate filler. I foget which company but someone is importing the euro fillers to the US. I actually had the euro plate held on by rare earth magnets overtop my blank plate filler.

I'm willing to risk a ticket. I've seen plenty of Bimmers and Mercs here with front Euro plates. I doubt they get a lot of tickets, or they'd take them off.

Yeah the front euro plate looks much better than the ugly US one.

Damn it! [:@]

I was supposed to get the car last Wednesday, but it's still stuck in the port, even though it has been cleared. This is ridiculous! []

Sorry, had to vent. [&:]
