2015 S3 questions
Hi All,
Have had my 2005 A4 for nine years now and with close to 160k on the odometer (and original clutch) it's time for an upgrade. Going for a 2015 S3 as it's a similar size to my current car but doesn't sacrifice performance as in the base A3.
I do have some questions, mainly related to the wheel/tire packages. Living in Wisconsin I need all-season tires which brings up some questions in addition to a couple more:
1. Does the magnetic ride suspension necessitate the summer-only tire/wheel package?
2. Do all Prestige models come with the summer tires only?
3. Is the sport package separate from the magnetic ride suspension?
4. Does the Daytona edition necessitate the summer only tire/wheel package?
5. Is the “all-weather” light the same as fog lights? Where are they?
6. What packages include the B&O sound system?
7. Do all the packages have the silver two-tone mirrors?
Any answers the members might provide would be much appreciated. Will promise to post pics of the new ride when purchased!

1. Does the magnetic ride suspension necessitate the summer-only tire/wheel package?
Nope - i switch tires in winter and have mag sus.
2. Do all Prestige models come with the summer tires only?
Not necessarily - you can order All Seasons for any model level
3. Is the sport package separate from the magnetic ride suspension?
Not sure what this means - there is no sport package for the S3 that I recall.
4. Does the Daytona edition necessitate the summer only tire/wheel package?
Yes, it comes with the summer only, but like I said I did switch tires for winter.
5. Is the “all-weather” light the same as fog lights? Where are they?
No - Audi re-purposes the turn light and turns them both on at once.
6. What packages include the B&O sound system?
Its a separate item in 2015
7. Do all the packages have the silver two-tone mirrors?
Not sure what you mean - but yes, all S3s come stock with the aluminum mirror caps
Hope this helps!

As arU4ic, I run a 18 inch winter wheel/tire set on my car which came with the 19 inch package with mag ride. Zero issues. Wheel spacers can be run on the summer set to widen the stance and look a bit more aggressive but don't recommend spacer for the winter set at all.

Yeah, I've seen a bunch of people running 18s for winter with no issues.
I put the All Seasons on my 19s - Spacers are tempting - always have been.
