Sorry this is mine

Very black !! If it was me I would also go for the PDLS lights in black - as they are currently the only piece of "chrome" on your spec! Enjoy the wait though !

Anyone had any more news re deliveries?

Well, I'm a Postman and I'm always delivering!
I'll ask at my OPC tomorrow when I finally put my order in. I'm having pillar box red btw (Guards).

Mine just said that they're expecting to get one build slot per month, starting December.

Don't force it through the letterbox!

It'll look good in Guards - I also like your present car.

That was the initial indication I had but I've since seen it mentioned that while production starts this month for the first deliveries in December the right hand drive cars won't start being produced until January and so I was wondering what is being said. I'm going to get an update from my OPC later and I'll let you know what they say.

Ah, the 991 went last year. I'm in a Macan until tomorrow when I let my OPC have it, and I'll wait for the GTS.

Looks beautiful!

How have you found out about finance? My OPC doesn’t know the balloon yet...

The balloon payments were released to OPC's earlier today. I was discussing with my OPC this afternoon. Interest rateshave improved but still too high in my opinion when compared with BMW

Ah interesting, I’ll have to badger mine tomorrow. Is the rate 5.9%?

The rate I was quoted was 7.3%

Currently have the following spec’d up, and depending on possible delivery dates, may pull the trigger tomorrow. My OPC have a very similar optioned Cayman S in the showroom, that I think they would like to steer me towards, but that would have to be a good deal, or an unacceptable long wait for GTS

Does anyone know: my favourite wheels are the Carrera Classic wheels in black, partly because the rear wheels are very "dished", which I think looks cool. However, on the GTS, they are £1,200 more than the standard Carrera S wheels in black. Are the rear wheels on the Carrera S also dished, or not? Not sure it's worth the (considerable) extra cost.

Not in love with the carbon on the steering wheel (personal taste), but other than that it's a lovely spec - get it ordered!

£76k? That bit made me wince...

[Oil Trash]

Not sure on the carbon wheel either but SHMBO dies like the Alcantara on the whelel

Price is still making me wince as well, so an inordinately long forcast delivery time may cause a rethink, as the longer I think the more I will stop applying man maths to the cost and go all sensible....

And I really need to spell check before I post, but I think you get the drift.

I guess you mean the Carrera Sport wheels? Those are the dished ones and what I have on my CS. The standard Carrera S wheels on the GTS aren’t dished.

Stop being tight, £1200 is a bargain. Mine cost me £2463

[RMJ891]

Haha fair enough!

I do mean the Carrera Sport, yes. Saw them at the Silverstone experience and thought they looked amazing, but not quite sure if I can justify it. I love black wheels, but since the standard ones are already black, well....

Haha - just!

Really liked the alcantara on my wheel. Great on those colder mornings and gives a good grip when playing in the twisties.

I once had a Range Rover Sport on order and it took a long time...long enough, in fact, for me to second, third and fourth guess my purchase and ultimately end up cancelling the order. Waiting times are a fact of life sometimes, but I suspect a lot more people drop out than we think, once they get long enough for the heart/heart ratio to level out.
