Thanks in advance

most important is sport differential. Every thread I've read regarding sport diff has mentioned this as a must. Those that didn't have it, either wish they did, and some have even traded up their cars for this option.

I think it should come standard, but since it doesn't, I would look to that as a must have option. All others would be a matter of personal choice.

If I did it again:

Sport Diff
B&O sound

I would not get MMI, i would get a $100 garmin and be done with it. I would prefer the 18" wheels, over the 19s (lighter & cheaper tires).

All S4s have MMI. Not all MMIs have nav. 18" wheels are lighter, but this car does not look right with them. I swapped my 18s for 19s and now when I look and pictures of my car with 18s I cringe. BUT I was never a big fan of the 19" stock "peeler" wheels. But the look is growing on me and IMHO, much better than the 18" style

where are you from? US or Canada? There are different options in both countries. For example, in Canada, we were fortunate to have the option of 5 arm titanium rotor wheels as an option in 19" which IMO looks wicked, love them. Also, some of the models are different at each level. I think in the US, there are a lot of individual options, whereas in Canada, you get 2 levels, and a lot comes standard within each of those levels, can't single out things like adaptive lights, or push start etc

It's almost better that way to have a lot of options, so I will chime out as I won't be much help being in Canada. Hopefully the other US guys can help you out. B&O came with the level I ordered, so I didn't put that in, but I still think US or Canada, sport diff is a must have! Good luck!

If you're looking at a Prestige it will come with Bang & Olufsen, advanced key, Nav and memory for the seats and mirrors. Need the sports diff. Driver assist package will give you side assist, backup camera with sensors
