Very nice! Love that interior. Enough black leather to camouflage the black plastic bits, but more visually interesting than all black.

Beautiful car- enjoy! Now I know why that hole is in the door sill. Interesting. The door has a louder clunk to it when closing and that explains it.

Platinum grey is very light in person, nothing like what you see in the configurator.

Indeed it is Black/Platinum Grey. The configurator (and the sales manual for that matter) is a bit deceiving unfortunately, making the grey look darker, which is why I saw the car in person before committing.
It's also why I didn't care for an ALL Platinum Grey interior of which there are many out there in dealer stock. The combination with black in the two-tone mutes this lightness a bit with the contrast, and yet IMO is not as dull as Black on Black would be (though I love the black and I think it would work well with another exterior color).
There's also another two-tone that is even lighter! The Agate Grey/Pebble Grey, and the grey in this combination is just a shade darker than white in pictures!

Similar to mine. Just picked it up on Monday. BB with same full leather two-tone interior and package. I didn't get sunroof, PDCC or sport exhaust but went with Burmester rather than Bose and the standard S wheels. Otherwise, very close configuration. I think the two-tone leather is really nice and the gray is not too light and not too dark.

Very Nice! Sounds like a higher-end spec! I haven't heard the Burmeister - and kind of don't want to so as not to regret it and I'm fine enough with the Bose. Besides, I get my 'high-end' from the exhaust ...Congratulations!

I am hearing different things from dealers re: the ability to change the wheel after market. What/who is suncoast? Are there any 991 owners in SoCal who have seen a dealer in SoCal switch out the steering wheel? I have the push/pull buttons, and my wheel is not multifunctional, and I hear it can be switched.

As for the owner of this car, beautiful choice. I really love the contrasting interior and the stitching. Congrats.
