Here are pics of Lunar Silver Alcantara, you can kind of see contrast stitching as well:

This is the cover I got for rear sits:

My kids are generally not messy and everyone is surprised how clean my back seat is, but I just decided to add extra protection in case they make a mess.
I can't find right away screen between gauges, but it has similar look to this:

You can find plenty pics here and on audizine of color center screen. Not a deal breaker, but color screen definitely adds nicer feel to it.

We still get some advanced stuff like the microphone that detects noise levels and adjusts the sound accordingly. Doesn't sound like something you'd get with an $850 aftermarket system.

That $5,800 B&O is not the same B&O system offered in the S4.
Any opinions on the B&O versus the standard sound system in the S4?

From what I heard (I was reading forums a lot before I pulled the trigger) B&O for $850 probably the best value out there. Quality-wise it's lightyears ahead of BMW premium (Harman Kardon) sound and my assumption it's way better than standard.
If you are music lover - it's absolutely must have feature. If all you listen is radio, then maybe not.
When I started my config I thought I'm going to get:
2013 Audi S4 P+ Quattro S-Tronic 8K254Y
Audi Quattro with sports differential PDU
Bang & Olufsen Sound System 9VK
Audi advanced key 4I3
Exterior: Ibis White
Interior: Black Alcantara
Ended up ordering:
2013 Audi S4 P+ Quattro S-Tronic 8K254Y
Audi Quattro with sports differential PDU
Bang & Olufsen Sound System 9VK
Audi advanced key 4I3
Audi MMI Plus package PNY
19" wheels 255/35 summer tires PQ6
Exterior: Ibis White
Interior: Lunar Silver Alcantara

So this is the current offer I negotiated for the setup I plan to go with:
MSRP of $53,400 and a sales price of $50,562 ($836 over invoice)for:
8K254Y - S4 Premium Plus with 7-speed S-Tronic
P5P5 - Ice Silver Metallic
Q4Q - Eight-way power S Sport seats...
N7N - Leather
SU - Black with Lunar Silver Alcantara
PDU - Sport Differential
PQ6 - 19" 5-segment wheels with summer tires
9VK - B&O Sound System
Supercharged Badges
$500 deposit to order car. $820 for Audi Care. $695 bank fee. No document fee; no dealer set up fee. Only first month payment and DMV fees due at signing; $500 deposit will be applied to what is due at signing.
If ordered in October 2012, I can take advantage of the October 2012 lease programs -or- the programs in effect when I take delivery, which ever is the better program.
I have all of the above in writing from the dealership.
Comments? Thoughts? I think it sounds like a pretty solid deal.

Have you sat in the nappa leather yet?
I have the Ice Silver exterior with the magma red and black seats. They look great with the silver exterior. Get compliments all the time on the color combo.
The stitching also looks great

Wow that is the first time I have ever seen a picture truly do justice to the red two tone interior. Usually, it is washed out or almost orange.
As I stated in a different thread the only regret I have is ordering the 19" tires, because the wheels are just a pita to keep clean.
Going to end up selling them and get some good light weight wheels come spring. In the meantime some inexpensive Moda wheels and Conti extremes for winter are on order.
To me the NAV is a waste of money because my droid razr will do just as good a job and sits nicely in that area when I drive anyway. I dont really look at the screen since my eyes are on the road where they should be.
The stock system is ok for now. I would never spend $6k on a mfg installed system as $3k would get me ten times that kind of system aftermarket and that is what I will do shortly, so $850 would be as much a waste as the 19 wheels.

I wanted to ask a few questions before I order/buy an S4. What color iPod cable did you guys request if any? I think there is a red and blue one each with different functionality. Also how tall are most of you guys? I am having an irrational fear that I may feel that the interior may feel too small at 6' even though I have driven one several times.
