Btw, I am going for the 19" wheels. Thanks!
I would consider the AD a must have. I dont use comfort that often, a couple of weeks ago I was driving back from Versailles, France (about 4 hours) in a caravan of cars so I was just plodding along, I put it in comfort mode and still despised it. Without the ACS suspension the second I got in the car I switched it to sport (suspension only) mode. With the ACS suspension it felt like it was in sport (suspension only) mode even though it was in normal. I still switch it to sport (suspension only) mode when I get in the car and it feels very grounded sometimes too grounded with the feedback, but I like that.

I dont know what options your considering but AD and sport transmission would be must haves over most other items if your buying a 550.
