If you don't want nav, b&o, and s-line sport package, this is a pretty good deal. Although nav is so common these days, and a car like this without it seems so odd.

Oops, didn't know it doesn't have Nav. That changes my opinion a bit. The S-Line package is no big loss as it's not very popular and many don't like it due to the stiff ride.

No B&O no go! Plus I think the s line is worth it despite the stiff ride. Specially in the nice smooth roads in US!

actually s-line ride is not that stiff compared with standard model, much better than the stock bimmer suspension in terms of stiffness. I also really like the s-line sport seats and black alcantara interior, very unique looking.

It's just not the suspension being stiffer but the 19" wheels and sports seats that makes for a rougher ride. It's all perspective and you may like the ride. But talk to the dealers and see how many they sell (not many) and what they say about their customer's perspective on the ride. Bottom line is that people need to test this combo first

The description of equipment does not match the photos. The vehicle in the photos does not have the Tech package or drive select. This is a run of the mill base A5

It does have drive select - the controls are on the console where the MMI **** would normally be

You are right about the tech package though...
