I'm only two days into ownership and couldn't agree more. I had driven 5-Series since the mid-80s and moved to an S4 five years ago. I absolutely loved that car but I have to admit, it's nice to be back in something a bit more substantive and luxurious with all the bells and whistles. I'm especially digging the Arras Red interior. I'll post pics in a few days.

So far, I've only identified one issue that I can't resolve. The steering wheel's "Easy Seat Entry" function does not seem to be properly functioning. It powers up when I leave the car, but only intermittently returns to the memory position when I return and start the car. So far, it looks like if I leave and return quickly, the steering wheel returns to the memory position. But if I leave the car for normal, longer periods, it stays up in its highest position when I return. Has anyone else experienced this?

I would have ordered the Prestige to get the HUD & Rear Window shade. I could live without the carbon inlays & don't need the first aid kit.

Yea at times I would have liked to have gotten the Prestige trim, I test drove a car with the HUD, it was OK. I have to admit though one reason not to get it, is it's very ugly sitting on the dash, it's huge, and seems to have way too much "bulk" for a small read out on the windshield.
One thing that I'm still tempted to have added is the soft close motors/doors, I don't think it's normally available on the USA S6 but as far as I understand it the motors need to be installed, and connected.

P.S. No one "needs" a first aid kit until it's needed.

Congrats on the new S6.

if you don't mind me asking, what was the offer/discount you received on your S6?

And I believe you said it was off the lot?

Hey Douglas. Not sure how I can help with a 13 purchase in Canada, but if you give us a bit more detail, you've got a big membership here that may be able to help. Good luck!
