The Bose stereo is more than adequate for a T in my estimation, particularly given the lack of sound insulation in this car. Its beutifully noisy in these cars. Enough so that my 9 year old asked me to turn off the stereo on day one of owning the car because the caucophony of noises bothered her.

I guess my point there is, save the money on stereo and spend on LED lights. They add real driving benefit.

I can't see the point in the enhanced power steering in a T, it kinda goes against the ethos of the car. The standard steering is a delight.

My observations come from having had my car for only 2 days but having taken a sensational 75mile drive all over the Marin headlands north of San Francisco in early morning fog. Sensational car!

I am on the fence on the Alcantara wheel/shifter. I really like it, but I don't know that I $910 love it I think I definitely want the Burmester though, even at it's inflated price. While I agree that I will almost never use it around town, this car will do a little touring, so it will be nice on highway drives. Just like the PCCBs, I won't ever need to upgrade it.

My biggest question is still color. While I love black, I have had a black car before and know the kind of fun exterior maintenance can be. Although with the new ceramic coatings, this should be a little less (maybe a lot). My other color choices are Carrara White and Red. And then of course to pick the right interior to go with it. I love the interior I picked though so will try to stick there - not sure if it really goes with a Guard Red car though.

I am also on the fence on the LEDs. Nothing wrong with Bi-Xenon and it saves $2700. I'll probably drop the extra Dashboard Trim in Leather ($1,770) as well. Not really needed.

If you do, would you mind sharing the last 4 digits? I'm researching how many T's are being made for the US MY2018 and most likely yours may be one of the very last 2018's made.

With your VIN I should be able to more accurately estimate production.

Thanks!
