Did your BMW actively cancel any driving assistance if you weren’t paying attention? I had an M4 that I recently sold had assistance and some sort of IR device on the dash but I never experienced it cancel an assistance. By contrast the Model Y I’m in for the moment, will cancel if you spend 10...

Just spend the cash! Share your configuration code.

Interesting. No doubt order books opened again for MY26 (I’ve since received an allocation) and it’s not shifted.

I went for Spyder’s though I did consider the Sport wheels, also for ease of cleaning.

Off topic but how comfortable do you find the Axel Arigato’s?

Reframe it - only 2% of the cars value to get the 22’s and have the wheels you want! I do get it, deal specifics aside, they do not depreciate well and they are about £45pcm to upgrade on the GTS and about £65 on the 4S.

I had an ICE Macan and Cayman both in GTS trim. Admittedly no kids at the time but the interiors are hard wearing and held up well. Steering wheels take some looking after but a retrain can be had for £200.

Always nice problems to have! Congrats on the Turbo

I’d go GTS predominantly for the racetex interior and sport design pack. The bundles options are useful, though I’d spec them (and did) anyway. The additional power is only useful for bragging rights down the pub. Sub 4 seconds to 60 in the 4S is enough. That was super car territory not so long...

I did try East London, was expecting a call back. Never bought from them but always felt the service was lacking when a friend was considering it. Will see what happens over the next few days. I’m more than happy with the 4S. Just always had GTS trim levels.

Just to follow this up, two dealers (and 3rd party broker) are saying they can’t quote on a GTS yet. Not sure if anyone in the UK has finance offers, particularly BCH? Confirmed by the existing dealer that there’s eight with deposits for GTS’ and at best it would be May build slot for June/July...

I've called them as they are local. Been advised by existing dealer that there's 8 in the que, so allocation wouldnt be until Mar for Jun delivery, complicated by getting an allocation on the 4S this week. They are going call back to see if their's any scope to get an earlier build.

No, MY25 4S vs MY26 GTS so may bridge evn further, though I might drop some options (electric charge flaps and roof rails)

I'm about £4.5k difference with £24k of options vs £17k on the GTS. Given a large amount of depreciation of the options over term on the 4S I'd imagine its going to be fairly similarly priced.

it’s always been my preferred trim level I’ve had two other Porsches and they were both GTS trims. However,the dealer told me it wasn’t goning be available until 2027 hence we placed the order. My only concerns are around pricing I didn’t really want to spend as much as we have this time around...

Yes - its just a straightforward BCH, just via a 3rd party. They said Friday the funds s were unable to quote. Which stacks as there's no quotes available on line for a GTS. I will give the dealer a call later. See what their thoughts are.

Thanks. An unassumed complexity of selling cars! Do you know if Porsche cam quote directly? I might give them a call today (they previously couldn't get near the 3rd party lease). Might also have to make a call in the 4S. No allocation yet, but dealer has suggested delivery will be week 6.

Great news, though interesting. I've ordered through a 3rd party and they are saying they are unable to quote at the moment on the GTS so can't fully explore swapping my 4S order.

What model and when did you place an order?

I understand your frustration. My understanding is that the allocations align with yours and they tend to be grouped together. This was the case a few years ago with a Cayman I was considering before choosing a stock car. I also believe that only about 20% of all allocations are PTS for these...
