Looks lovely, glad you have managed to get the LEDs. If Bose had been available would you still have gone for the Burmeister system?

While at the OPC yesterday I sat in a car with Bermester and was very impressed with sound quality and function. I had always planned to upgrade over the standard system which my previous 981 had which I found very week and tiny, and changed all the speakers myself to high quality ones which improved things. Obviously not wanting to do this to a new car Quote Reply #205

I bought myself a GTS in the meantime so I’m not in a rush but having been told mid 2024, end of this year is a bonus. Another dealer gave me the same estimate ie end of this year…. 718 GTS 4.0 PDK Agate Grey 718 GTS 4.0 Manual GT Silver 981 GTS PDK Black TTRS Roadster TTS Roadster TT Roadster A3 Q7 x2 Defender 90 Quote Reply #209

Interesting that your estimate has come forward, did they indicate how many in front of you in the queue? My OPC has 8 in the queue before me I am also a November deposit and was originally quoted 3/24. I have also placed another order with a different OPC, just to spread my chances. 2023 Porsche Boxster 4.0 GTS, Arctic Grey. 2018 Porsche Macan GTS, Carmine Red full GTS package. 2020 Nissan Leaf 62 kWh.

What you have been told is almost in line with what I have been told. 1 has 3 cars allocated 1st qtr the other 4 cars. Apparently it's not quite as simple as 1 car per dealer per month as order dates are also factored in, so if a dealer has more/earlier orders they will get allocated before orders made at a later date, which is fair. This has also been indicated on this forum. Quite a few ex demos coming on the market now, I would have probably gone for Norwich's crayon PDK if I had been in the UK, whilst my heart said go for it, my head keeps saying wait, you will get a car allocated before they stop manufacture and it will be to my exact specification and no one else has driven it. 2023 Porsche Boxster 4.0 GTS, Arctic Grey. 2018 Porsche Macan GTS, Carmine Red full GTS package. 2020 Nissan Leaf 62 kWh.

The Viola car has a nice spec, but for me the colour just doesn't work on the Boxster. It is just too dark and looses the definition/shape of the car. Also the black wheels seem to disappear. I think lighter colours work better on the 718 GTS. 2023 Porsche Boxster 4.0 GTS, Arctic Grey. 2018 Porsche Macan GTS, Carmine Red full GTS package. 2020 Nissan Leaf 62 kWh.
