Hopefully made the right decision! :) will be trawling the forum for tips on the masses of options available.
Here is my current build PN7MJUJ4

Welcome to the forums!

Your Porsche Code doesn't seem to work for me. May be a Porsche server issue, as I'm getting an Error 500 message.

Welcome.

Presumably the Feb 2023 build date is just indicative? I think you would do well to get it by then.

Welcome to our friendly forum! :)

Congrats on your Macan order. That’s a classy looking Night Blue and I see that you haven’t stinted on the options! ;)

Hoping that the next year or so flies by for you!

Cheers,
Simon

Welcome and a great spec.

A few suggestions.

Heated seats

Heated steering wheel (my own fave)

Spare wheel (it includes a compressor) and buy a sealing kit to give options.

Checkout Air Suspension

I would never ever buy a car with comfort access, Porsche’s own warning …. Note: The Comfort Access uses state of the art technology. However, it cannot be completely ruled out that the key´s wireless encryption code is intercepted and used to open or steal the vehicle

Pretty big spec. That wheel design looks good.

Something you might want to check...says the all weather matts are agate. Are you sure you don't want black to go with the rest of the interior?
