What do you mean by "adaptive suspension"? These cars all have audi drive select which changes the dampening characteristics of the shocks/struts but no B9 or B9.5 variants have "adaptive suspension" on them other than the SQ5 which you can only get if you option the vehicle with an additional sport package which gets you a sport rear diff and configurable suspension height via air bags on all 4 corners.

I have this "option" on my Q7. Same air ride more or less comes standard on S6, S7, A8, SQ7, SQ8, Lambo Urus, and Bentley Bentayga. It may be standard on RSQ8 as well, but then again there may be a higher level performance package that eliminates air ride on the RSQ8 like what has been offered on the RS7 in the past (which includes an even higher speed limiter)...

Huh? You can choose fixed or adaptive suspension in both the B9 and B9.5 S4 and S5. It's called "S Adaptive Dampening Suspension" per Audi. Drive select does nothing for dampening characteristics if you don't have this option. Trust me I've owned both B9 variants with and without adaptive suspension.

Just got my 2018 S5 delivered last week. Bought it pre-owned so I'm not sure if original owner is anywhere on here. I know it came out of Florida..
I previously had a B8 A4 that flooded during Hurricane Harvey so I'm stoked to finally get back in a car after 4 years of Tundra life.

Yes, prestige with Black optics, S Sport package, Dynamic steering, Napa, carbon inlays. At port the "exhaust resonator delete" was installed, for $950 I would have rather put that towards a real exhaust. I'll take more/better pictures after I put on PPF..
