My hope is that with the recent movements in exchange rates Audi might make the 2016 leases more attracive than the 2015...hopefully not just wishful thinking.

I have not seen a release yet, but mine is a Red, Prestige, Sport, Black Optic and Cold Weather (i live in Detroit).
I keep waffling on the seats? Is that just overkill? I have pulled off the 6% of MSRP, but that has been it.
Any build dates yet?

I am making the switch from the BMW 5 series (after a 2003 540i, a 2008 550i and a 2010 535i) to the Audi S6. I love the handling of my 535i but having driving the current 5 series now for over seven years it is time for a change.
The new BMW 5 series is not very sporty and driving the current M5 didn't make me smile the same way the Audi S6 did.
My car order includes the following:
Originally I ordered the 2015 model but switched to the 2016 when I read about the changes but am frustrated that I have not been able to pin down certain details about the new car yet:
Does anyone know if Audi has changed the wheel design for the 20" rims on the 2016? The pictures I have seen from the intro in Germany show a really sweet rim that looks even better than the current design. However the order number for the 20" rim option on the 2016 is exactly the same as last year and so I am guessing the rims might be the same as last year?
I was also frustrated with the color choices which were almost the same as last year. The into pictures showed a really nice looking light, metallic blue (light shade than Sepang) but that was not on the option list.
I posted another thread asking about Audi leases for 2016 but it seems that nobody has insight into them yet.
My Salesperson has not been in touch recently and has not given me a build number of build date so I am doing some research here before I give him a buzz.
I am excited for the new car and have appreciated all the info I have found on these boards.
Thanks,

Another newbie here about to order a 2016 S6. Thinking Moonlight or Daytona plus Black Optic, Sport Package, Sport Seat/Wheel, Driver Assistance, Bose or B&O, Carbon or Aluminum/Wood. Three quick questions:
1. Why do so many people seem to order the Prestige package, even for 2016? Seems all you really get is the Bose which is an $850 upgrade and the LED lights which I don't really seem to see much value. Guessing I am overlooking something here.
2. Which dealers are willing to do 6% off MSRP? Think I know of a dealer willing to do about 3-4% off, but would be willing to work with another dealer if they are more competitive and provide great service. The dealer closest to me seems nice but not particularly knowledgeable and has actually provided me with a significant amount of misinformation on the 2016 model. If you are a dealer reading this feel free to PM me.
3. I will do a search but any recent opinions on the value of the B&O vs. the upgraded Bose?
Thanks very much. Excited to join the Audi family after many years of BMW M3s and a few other assorted and far less sophisticated cars. Great forum. Best, Dan

I got the Audi club 6% off. Otherwise my dealer was in the normal 4% off range (all of this before any incentives like conquest, loyalty, or season promo discounts)

OP, how much of a deposit did you leave? I know its tough on the west coast but here on the east coast its def a lot easier to negotiate. This will be hard to believe but I my build came to $97175 and got a little over 11% off MSRP less $1500 loyalty rebate. There is def room to negotiate. Also, again I am not sure of the west coast but out here, Audi is offering an additional $1000 rebate on the S6 for the month of June. I would def do more research and find a dealer willing to work more with you.
Lastly, I'm not sure the reason but S6/S7 production has a delay resulting in longer wait times. If you order one now, you probably won't be looking at taking delivery till October or November. Just a heads up.
