I've got exactly the same in my '22 VRS. It'd be interesting to know what this is
-
I was informed that my petrol VRS left the factory 19th November, I collected it 13th December. So, fingers crossed you'll have it very soon. Enjoy 🙂

I've had my VRS hatch for just short of a month covering around 1500 miles. Previous car was a 19 plate BMW 320d M Sport. Overall I have to say I'm seriously impressed with the VRS, true to say that the interior trim quality is not quite up to the BMW and the infotainment takes a little getting used to but I've had absolutely no problems with it all. I only really have two gripes and they're very minor: when the windscreen wipers are in auto mode the passenger side wiper doesn't return to the home position following a wipe, it's raised by an inch or two... If you knock it off auto it immediately returns to the home position... It's a little weird but is probably classed as a 'feature' 🙂 The boot lid opens extremely high, you have to be a little careful in some underground carparks that it doesn't hit the ceiling (!) fair enough you can stop it before this happens with the button on the remote but you do have to be aware that this is a possibility. Apart from those two very minor gripes I'm really happy with it. It drives really nicely, has a decent amount of power when required and is nicely settled on the road... I'd definitely get one again unless I get tempted by the S3 saloon 🙂 -

My VRS is at the dealers, picking it up tomorrow (snow allowing) 🙂
-
Yes, now that the car has left the factory I'm able to login to the app 🙂
-
yeah, it was built week 39, delayed due to a missing part (or parts) I received the VIN week 41.... we're now in week 47 (I think)..... the dealer reckons I should be picking it up within 3 weeks
-
Things are looking up. I received news on Friday that my car is now complete and on it's way to Emsden prior to being shipped to the UK...Hopefully it'll arrive soon 🙂
-
Mine was built week 39, delayed due to a missing part (or parts) I received the VIN week 41... My dealer tells me he has another 4 cars built the same week in the same situation.
-
My dealer tells me he has another 4 cars in the same situation... Mine is also a VRS 2.0 tsi with DCC (ordered 14th feb 22) but I also have the DSG box and reversing camera... I know it's a bit of a leap but perhaps it's a DCC chip issue causing the delay?
-
Nice one...!! My build went ahead 26/09/22 but unfortunately has been held at the factory "awaiting a component". No idea what the missing component is, the dealer is unable to tell me... Hopefully won't be too much longer.

Current Delivery time for Petrol only models?

I ordered my Petrol VRS Hatch with DSG, DCC and Winter Pack mid February '22. I have an 'unconfirmed' build week of Week 39 (week commencing 26th Sept '22). The word 'unconfirmed' means that I'm not holding my breath 🙂 -
ordered mid February 22 so it looks like I might be one of the lucky ones
-
Morning All, I've just been informed that my car now has an unconfirmed build week of week 39 (end of September). So fingers crossed I'll be seeing my Hatchback VRS by Christmas 🙂
