1. Buckets, ceramics
2. Auto rear blind, can't see a bloody thing out of it. Also de-restriction is pretty pointless for me.
3. Custom exhaust (installed when I bought it).

I agree on go for the spec you want and will use - in my experience (11 audis!) the dealer will never give you more than book trade in if you are getting a decent deal on the next car (they will make out they do by using the allowance on the other end)..
I purposely kept the non useful toys clear of mine (for me sport pack, dynamic steering, buckets and ceramics I dont need as I wont ever use it on the track)..
That said, the nice bits like convenience pack, B&O, Pan roof, heated seats etc I think are a must..

If you are going to use the finance offer, you will see the residual 'buy back' after 3 years doesnt differ on the spec you put on, you just lose that money (but have the enjoyment of it of course along the way)..

pays your money...!
B8 RS4 - Daytona, Privacy Glass, Convenience pack, B&O, Pan roof, Parking advanced,Hill Hold, Heated seats.
Audi Q7 Sline plus - Daytona, Tech Pack hi, Storage pack/Towing equip.
Past - 911 C4S (997), S5, S3, TT 3.2, B7 RS4, B6 S4, Boxster, '83 911SC, Corrado G60
