Were there packages you wish you got you didn't? Wish I got the launch package, and rear wheel steering. I am doing just fine without the rest of the packages.
Packages you got you shouldn't? Maybe the 20" Wheels/Tires, but let's see how that pans out. So far knock on wood, no issues.
Things you liked better in real life than from the reviews? The reviews were pretty good, not too many negatives. There are little details here and there which were not mentioned in reviews, that I really appreciate. One of them is the red LED strip that lights up when you open the door and a car is nearby.
Things not as goods as you thought once you got it? I thought the standard B&O sound system would be better, as we had a 2015 A5 with B&O and it blew this system out of the water. Still pretty good, but it doesn't sound so great using Apple Carplay.
Things you don't use you thought you would? I knew I would not use the back seat (I drive, no need for a driver) so I skipped all back seat options. So basically no frills in the back, not even heated seats.
Or anything you want to share

Be glad we are blessed with regular tires unlike the run flats on the S classes that explode if you look at them funny
