I was in the same predicament. Don't do it I traded my 2012 (which I loved) in when I was having my son wish i never did because he was only rear facing for like 1 year. Long story short I now have a 2014 with him forward facing and it is more than fine space wise. I could have saved allot of money and hassle by just dealing with the tight space for the one year and find a smaller car seat for him to rear face.

Best bet is to keep advertising especially on forums where you re catching people who know these cars. Avg guy doesn't care about the unique pkgs you got.
Another thing is to work with an audi salesperson to connect with possible leasers.
Bottom line, you have to have a more attractive deal/price than the dealership, and you will sell your car.

I actually bought my S4 on purpose when I had my son. I was driving a 328 coupe for his first 3 months and it was too annoying to flip the seats when trying to load him. I knew I wanted a sports sedan but didn't want to go large. My wife has an RX350 which we take if we really need to load it up but the S4 for the week I've had it has been cake with him. I put the car seat base down in the middle and used the two inner anchors. Even put a mirror on the center rear head rest so I can see him in my rearview. Driven him almost every day and works great. You can even fit two slender people on either side of him for a short while but if anyone is riding its usually just the three of us and we've never had to move front seats up to load/unload or fit (I'm 6'3", she's 5'5"). This is probably a moot point since you've got a 550 now which I'm sure has its own benefits. I just wanted to chime in cause I thought it was funny because I bought my S4 deliberately when we had our baby.

Haha I thought of that, but knowing my luck it would back fire

I've thought about putting the 550 up and see which one goes first. I got a deal on the 550 so I'm guessing that could be moved. I do love the S4 but it just seems small to me and now that I have a new client in downtown, all my driving is City which stinks. Having a 6MT in the City isn't fun, although having a 6MT is what I prefer. The 550xi is an M-sport. It's a boat but it's also a beast. I love having HUD, soft close doors etc. I'm paying about $70 more a month for the 550. Long and short is one of them have to go before my wife lets me go!!

Have a great weekend! Let me know if anyone is interested.

You should keep your S4 IMO, I don't know why people always think this car is too small with kids. Keep in mind a car like the Audi A4 is the average car family's of 4 are driving in Germany...it's just the mindset of people to think you need a Suburban or Tahoe with two kids. On the other hand you already got the BMW X5, I would try to put both on the market and see which one goes first but again the S4 is still big enough with one kid, that's just my opinion though...
