    What's the one option you wish you had?

    I'm a chronic researcher, I like to know as much as I can about something and then make the right decision. So when looking for a S6 used, I had a must have list. I was open to many exterior colors but it had to have: black headliner (the fact this wasn't standard is appalling), LED headlights (pretty much the sexiest headlights in town, esp in 2013), 20" wheels (imo the 19's are ugly), no comfort seats (gotta have that diamond stitch), no wood trim (duh). With the right car I could have been flexible on this one, but driver assist pkg seemed like tech this car should have.

    B&O would def be cool, but I'm happy with the 600 watt bose.

    Innovation package was awesome, but I could live without night vision, HUD and top/corner view cameras. #because v8twinturbo

    But damn I find myself wishing I had the front camera when parking so I don't smash up my bumper. Especially when you're lowered, I find myself regularly wishing I had the front (corner view, haven't felt I needed though). And the real kicker is, in 2014 the front/top/corner cameras came with driver assist pkg which I have. But, in the end, the best part about the S6 is it has this pedal on the right that tends to put your worries behind you.

    I miss my surround view camera, coming form an s6 to a rs7 i was able to build the rs7 to spec of what i needed, if i was to do it again i would have gotten an alcantara headliner, and would have had to think long and hard about the performance package since i want the brakes but not the suspension.

    Talk to Alex all these things can be retrofitted after

    I'm good with my build.

    AFAIK, I'm only missing Comfort Seats, B&O and Black Optics. Didn't want to give up the quilted leather, Bose sounds great to me, and didn't really care either way about the Black Optics.

    I DO wish Audi had opted to equip the "C" S/RS models with magnetorheological dampers, though. Better performance all the way around, and likely to be more durable than the air suspension or DRC.

    I was in the market for a CPO A7. I told myself I had sworn off high performance cars. My requirements included Innovation package (earlier cars) or Driver assist plus Night vision (later cars). I have read some members say that the night vision assist is useless -- unless you live on a barrier island full of tourists who walk out into the street without a care in the world, in which case it can be a lifesaver. I did not care to have the B&O, comfort seats, etc. I knew the car might be hard to find.

    My local dealer had just taken a 2013 S7 off lease. It was configured perfectly for me Innovation package, LEDs, Carbon inlays. We bought it, and I could not be happier. What did I say about no more high performance cars? Oh, never mind.

    If only it was one of the darker grey colors, or Midnight Blue . . .

    My S6 was built to spec, so theoretically, nothing. That said, I wish the sport steering wheel and sport exhaust were options in 2014 when I ordered my car.

    My S6 has most options, but not the advanced package... really wish I had the adaptive cruise control!

    I built mine to spec so I got what I wanted among options offered. Wish I could have gotten cold weather package without sacrificing the RS shift knob & steering wheel. No biggie.

    My S6 and RS7 were both ordered so I got and will be getting exactly what I want. Having said that, if the B&O weren't so freaking expensive, I would have added that option.

    B&O is probably the only thing I wish my car had. Flat bottom steering wheel that works with the cold weather package would be nice, or comfort seats that retain the diamond stitching. Audi can build a car that sets track records driving itself, but apparently can't solve those two problems.

    Adaptive cruise & front camera would be nice.

    From an aesthetic standpoint, the HUD projector is a bulbous nightmare, so I could live without that one

    Mine was built to spec and is a 1 of 1 in the US. Needless to say, it was optioned exactly the way that I wanted it.

    For me it'd be the driver's assistance package only for the top view cameras, I hardly ever use cruise control so ACC isn't that big a deal. If the comfort seats and the B&O weren't so expensive though...

    Wish They did the ventilated seats, massage would be nice too, on the quilted model. The non-quilted is so ugly.

    My A6 prestige is pretty well equipped with the sport and innovation package, loving the LED headlights and adaptive cruise. But I miss my cold weather package heated steering wheel.

    Black Optics pack.

    Unfortunately not an option on the UK S6/7 models, only available on the RS6/7. I put every other option l wanted onto the car, with the exception of the B&O package which is $10,000 in the UK

    My car was ordered to spec (and ED), but I couldn't make myself pay $3K for an Alcantara headliner.

    Now my Cayenne has it, and I really like it- I wish I had popped for it at order time, but $3K...

    Maybe I'll have my interior shop guys give me a quote.

    There was a guy doing custom alcantara wrap for over $3k, seeing that made me think $3k that Audi is asking is not too bad.
