So, thinking I'd have until next year some time to make final changes to my spec, I've just had a call from my OPC offering me a build slot that requires me to lock my build in 3 days time, for delivery before the end of the year. Argh!

Now, I could turn that slot down, but I'm told there will be no more slots for any cars to be built this year so delivery would be Feb/March next year at the earliest. As well as the wait, and the fact that the (very pleasing) price for my existing vehicle may not hold up into next year, I'd obviously waste several hundred more hours on the confuserator. So, should I go for it now?! And if so, what are the thoughts on my original spec:

versus my latest spec:

I've also asked you all about, and read other people's questions about, the eternal dilemmas of steel v air suspension, 14-way v 18-way seats and standard stereo v Bose, ACC v no-ACC, but it looks unlikely I'd get to drive a car with air or hear a standard stereo before the build locked so I have to make a call on them now. I'm going to sit in different seats tomorrow, which covers that choice, and decide tonight whether I would actually use ACC enough (leaving aside the safety aspect of it that is obviously beneficial).

A set of very first-world, nice to have issues I suppose!

Oh I wish I'd get that call!!!!! Regarding specs both look really good, so I guess it's down to budget and especially how you want the interior to look. Either way you can't really go wrong I'd say!

Good luck. I’m still questioning all my decisions and my car is due to be built tomorrow 😊

Colour aside your spec is quite similar to mine. I think the Pebble and Black EL looks fantastic. Wish I’d ordered it.

Can't make out the "2 tone" element of the EL. Is it just top of doors and dashboard that are darker?

Black leather is basically the dash, door tops and steering wheel, all else is pebble. It looks really nice

If I were going blue I would go with the Gentian. It's blue rather than light black.

I used to have a special colour Nacht Blau on my 335i Convertible. It’s extremely similar to the Porsche blue, except the Porsche colour seems to have more metal flake. After a good polish it looks absolutely fantastic.
