Congrats on the car! Looks great...if the curb rash is that bad there are companies that repair that. Have some fun with launch control!

With my options, I got pretty much everything I wanted. The only thing I'll miss are the LED interior lights but I guess the mod isn't too difficult. I definitely won't miss the Bose, the automatic trunk (had it been a SUV, the auto trunk would be required), or the automatic sun shades. I always tint my windows with dark limo tint in the back for appearance. The Bose is definitely not impressive and the B&O, though nice, is definitely not worth $4900 IMHO. The Bose isn't an improvement from the Bose in my '13 A6 Prestige. I know I'm half deaf from my previous life but to my ears, the stock stereo sounds better than the Bose. Call me crazy.

I agree with you on HUD. I picked up a 2017 Q7 last week and there is no HUD hump like there is on my S6. There's better info on the newer HUD too. Congrats on the S6. It's my favorite Audi yet. Perfect combination of Sport and lux.

The growl is amazing. GROWL. Snap crackle pop. Does that happen on all S6's or only with the sport package?

I'm still in the baby stage of learning about the S6 but I believe the more aggressive growl is the part of the Sport Pkg. My salesman told me that a S6 without this package has a tamer growl. I've set the exhaust on dynamic mode in the MMI. The S6 growl is just right IMHO compared to say, a Maserati.
Now I'm so tempted to tune this beast......hmmmmm. Btw, how are you liking the new Q7? We're looking at replacing our GL450 with the Q7 in a couple of years. I test drove the new Q7 a couple of weeks ago and I really liked it. The 3rd row is still pretty useless but an improvement from the outgoing model. The other thing I don't like are the runflat tires. Both minor points....Overall, Audi has done a superb job with the '17 Q7!

I'm really impressed with the Q7. I don't notice the run flats at all. As for the third row, it's not going to get used much in our household. When it does though, the ability to move the second row forward 4ish inches makes it okay without causing a big issue for second row passengers. The tech in here is really cool. It sort of makes the S6 tech feel a bit dated, which is weird.
