I’ve done a couple of Cayman’s and an ICE Macan, and whilst the Cayman is the pick of the choice as the drivers car (or certainly in the less hardcore variants), the 911 has a level of maturity and importantly rear seats for a young family. Horses for courses though, and fully appreciate the...

Great that you're recognising your son, though my kids will have to wait, I promised myself an 911 before I'm 40! You can debate the spec all day long, ultimately it comes down to personal preference but one thing appears to be missing taking into account the lengthy list of options is keyless...

The safety sound is a monotone consistent hum, the sport sound from my experience varies in tone and volume. You can hear it in the video but admittedly it’s hard to distinguish

Likewise (if was available to order when I did). The sports design kit particularly the rear is a lot nicer and the racetex interior is bespoke. Power isn’t going to be felt in 99% of scenarios and is essentially just bragging rights down the pub.

Yes from my experience of a Taycan GTS (sounds like this when on ) I’d imagine the Macan is no different (my build has it, not yet delivered). I ordered it to add a bit of emotion at times and add to the visceral experience. Potentially to help plug a gap from ICE alternatives.

Wheel size and climate (country) is as important as trim levels, so would be useful if these are included in each post.

Once you get a build slot, you should get an email with a link. You can get this without a VIN, that’s likely to be assigned later on.

Only 4 and Turbo models delivered so far and appear few and far between from my armchair analysis. 4S’ are seemingly not being delivered yet, reflected in those stuck in port, those with build dates being pushed back and slow updates to the configurator. If you’ve actually got wider concerns...

My understanding that Drive Assist looses the LKA element of Innodrive as you mention but only as a result of having more advanced autonomous driving abilities including lane change etc (in regions that allow it).

I imagine you’re frustrated. If you’re happy to wait and it’s only the MY revisions you’re concerned about I’d proceed. If this year is anything to go by, MY27 won’t be delivered Q4 2026 anyway. As we are seeing this year, I don’t think we will see the first MY26 4S’ land delivered until mid Q1...

Ordered 19th August for a 4S. Got access to TMD mid November when a build slot was issued. App showing no further updates due until WK1 when spec is locked and WK4 for build to commence. If you’ve not had anything, worse case you’ve no build slot allocated, best case they mislabelled your...

I’d say the opposite (though it’s fluctuates by model), but the HK systems in BMW have gotten worse over the last 15 years I’ve been buying them (8/9 in total) and the handful of cars from the Porsche stable with Bose seem to be better.

fortunate or otherwise that doesn’t explain why a manufacturer takes an opposing position to others. Tesla obviously feels that the sacrifice in battery is out stripped by the performance increase in charging speed and time. They realistically have more data than any other manufacturer but...

Indeed… was poorly worded on my part

My experience: Chester - Service - Very helpful and pleasant Sheffield - Purchase - Very helpful, though lack of allocations pushed lead times. Colchester - Speculative - Great and would purchase East London - Service - Hit & miss, sometimes really accommodating and other times poor comms. South...
