I have reached out to a few dealerships in FL and all of them have been a PITA. Steve Thomas BMW set the bar way too high!
I really like the diamond seats but was curious about the comfort sport seats with the massage function. How is the bass with the BO system and how is the sound quality with streaming and with your phone directly connected? What about some video of the S6?! Nice color by the way. Is it phantom black pearl?

I can't comment on the comfort seats since I don't have them, nor have I tested them out. The diamond quilt (standard) seats are extremely comfortable even on longer trips. I just took my first long drive (2.5 hrs) and I felt completely unfatigued afterwards. They also just look so good that there is no way I could pass them up.
The bass output of the B&O is highly dependent on the source. As a system, it is more than capable of substantial bass, however, if it isn't in the recording, then adding bass through the tone controls, while possible, is certainly not the same as having a seperate 1000 watt amp and a 12" JLW7. I listen to rock and classical, and for that, there is enough for sure. If you want that earthshaking feeling, then you will need to add something. One thing I haven't tried however (and I think I will) is to adjust the bass on my ipod and see what effect that has. In the end, however, it is just a magnificent souund system. And I mean magnificent. The bass is exactly where it should be for almost all musical types.

Not really. My S6 is a daily driver. I needed something that wasn't so exotic in this regard, and from a convenience standpoint, the Audi dealership is only 6 miles from my house. The nearest Maserati dealer is about 70 miles from me. I would have probably bought a Panamera before the Ghibli, but again, we are faced with the issue of VALUE, which is and has always been important to me. As I said in a previous post, the S6 is a lot of car for the money. The Maserati and Porsche are best bought used where you can get a car with like 3000 miles for $30k off the list price.
