Bought it Friday from a dealer in VA and it was delivered to Southwest FL this morning. Whoever had it built checked all the boxes except for ACC and PSE, which I figured I'd install PSE later if I wanted. Love Sport+ and 18 way seats the most. Got an extended warranty for 72/110. PPI found nothing but it needing wipers and engine trunk struts. The interior smells like cinnamon, which I need to fix with a new cabin filter and anything but cinnamon. I hate the smell of cinnamon...
I had a 2011 987.2 and it was a blast, but I had a growing family and my wife was none too impressed. This car puts a smile on her face and there is room for the kids!

Noice! Looks great! Skip the PSE and just get Sharkwerks bypass pipes. They’re relatively quiet cars unless you remove the cats combined with no mufflers. The cost of retrofitting PSE is ridiculous IMHO. It’s nice if a car comes with it, but I drive with mine on all the time and wish it was louder.
Your gonna be very happy. PSE can be added on the cheap just skip the side muffler and tips (they are 100% the same) and get a new center muffler off flea bay for $600. I can did up a parts list or search on here.
Congrats...and enjoy.....I bought your "almost" twin ('13 4S PDK with PSE, almost 36k miles) in July 2020 during the heart of the pandemic. Now up to almost 48k. Picked up CPO from Paul Miller Porsche in NJ (I'm the 2nd owner and car was involved in a fender bender but I went to the auto body shop and had them print out entire repair record with pictures for me prior to purchase). They did the 40k service prior to sale and after I brought it home realized the door cards were warped on both (take a look at yours as its a common issue with this generation if you don't have leather) - thankful the CPO warranty covered it (along with rear hood struts). I ended up replacing the front ones myself with Amazon replacements for < $30.
Every time I think about dumping the car - and wondering if I could come close to getting my money back - I jump in the car when the weather is warm enough, open it up and the exhaust note brings a smile to my face.
I almost didn't get mine because it was grey and I felt like I'd had enough silver/grey cars....great color for lots of reasons, just wish I would have skipped the warranty I paid like $4k for and got $1k out of in the 60k I put on in 4.5 years
Should have known better as every one of my 911's has been more reliable and cheaper to maintain than any Fn BMW I've owned other than an 89 M3
