Just to clarify, if you have NAV+ADS Lite like I do then (initially) just press the Comfort/Auto/Dynamic buttons on the dash below "Audi Multimedia". The "Individual" setting can be customized via the MMI & I'd guess you'll probably mess with after you've gotten to know the car better and have refined your preferences. Enjoy!

Thanks for all the info. I love that photo in red, do you have a bigger version of it?

We stopped by Checkered Flag Audi in Virginia Beach last weekend since they had a couple of S4s listed in stock on their website. We were initially going to look at the S5, but the S4 really blew us away. They had a Quartz Gray one and a Meteor Gray one. We didn't test drive either since we were short on time and knew we probably would not buy from them anyway since they are 7 hours away.
If you could buy from Checkered Flag, you should. It was a pretty good experience. Ask for John. And the new-car sales manager is has been great to me. They should be able to honor competitor price. And tell them the military guy who just picked up the quartz gray black/red nappa S4 referred you to them and they'll take care of you.
On the test drive, see how it handles on a freeway on-ramp, for example. With a sport diff, it drives like a RWD car. I'm impressed.

Wow, small world. It was Friday, 8/13 that we went by there. It was sitting over by the service area, not under a roof though. As I mentioned, we were there to look at the S5, but your car caught both of our eyes as we were waiting to turn in. That is really a beautiful car!

LOL So normally you'd drive all the way back to the BMW dealership just to tell the salesman that you *weren't* going to buy his car? Wow. You're a pretty intense competitor. Not sure I ever want to meet you on the road! 
I agree with you on the new A4, though. Great car, but underpowered. It's even worse with an auto tranny as you're stuck with that slow motion Tip-a-long-tronic!

Good luck!
