I had similar symptoms, cured by a bottle of PEA based Redline SI-1 in the gas tank to clean the fuel injectors.
Now I add a quarter bottle before each fill up.

I'm kind of stuck on one with the B&O and 4 way hvac now so that shrinks the pool by a lot. I've seen a ton that are perfect but don't have the B&O.

4 zone hvac is a pretty common option and you should easily be able to find one with that. It’s not worth a damn in practice over the standard 2 zone, but it looks fancy and keeps passengers from complaining, so there’s that. Haha.

B&O is again a nice to have and looks fancy, but it’s not an amazing benefit over the standard BOSE, which is pretty good itself.

Decided to pass on that one and found one with less miles and all the options I care about. Thanks for all your help guys. Due to pick her up Friday and I'll post up a pic when I do.
