Over exposed to show wheel gaps

Really blew out the highlights and way over-exposed to really show the difference between the 19” & 18” Wheels & Tires.

This is all great feedback - thanks everyone! I’m going to do a quick back to back today and compare the two. Still time to change my order if I want.

also appreciate you lightening up the photo Nikon1- super helpful!

Just changed my order. The regular sport suspension felt a little too jittery but the S sport package adaptive suspension was more compliant in comfort mode. I figured I would probably always regret not getting the adaptive suspension so I went with the package. The diff and the red calipers will both be nice bonuses like someone else said.

Thanks again for your input everyone! Hope to pay it forward when my S5 arrives!

I changed my order to include the adaptive suspension at the last minute too. No regrets, it's great and I use it all the time.

I third the idea that you will not regret the S Sport Package. You would, though, almost certainly regret not getting it at this point. To be fair, the regular suspension is great, one of the better one's out there in this class. But the adaptive set up is really stellar.

Appreciate the validation! Now the wait begins. . . Looks like the current build delivery is between mid August and Mid September per the website so we’ll see how this all turns out.

Thanks again everyone!

Ughhh! - Definitely the worst part! My build/delivery interval felt like an eternity including the 1000 times I hit refresh on my browser while tracking the cargo ship from the port in Germany to the port in Rhode Island.

East coast folks have it easy. Add many more clicks for me as I watched the ship go through the locks on the Panama canal webcams.

I’ll have to get the lookup site once I get all the build info - I only saw the dealers webpage while I was there. Trying to time my lease return on my existing car so it looks like it will work out perfectly if there are no delays.
