Wolfjurgen - I did a reasonable amount of query on Alcantara wear. Steering wheel/MT shifter - not recommended - pilling, Seats - no issue with appropriate maintenance (regular damp towel cleaning - no scrubbing, yearly deep clean (no steam) and protectant). There is info from the makers of Alcantara regarding stain removal, and my detailer confirms that stains can be removed - but get on them quickly for success. With this info I took the Alcantara/Leather package but optioned the Leather SD steering wheel and CF/Leather PDK shifter.

Thanks all... I spent 2 solid hours last night going over different interior combinations but I kept coming back to my original config that I stuck with. It will be nothing if not bold/unique.
On with the wait but I'm sure with the holidays upcoming the time will fly by. If not I'll continue bothering you guys with multiple posts per day/hour...

So latest update, my car is status V300 (Vehicle Exit Production) and the estimated arrival at dealership has moved up a full month to January 29th. Aiiiii!
Bit of a surprise given I was targeting mid-March delivery so may need to rethink my plans... ie. winter tires sooner rather than later.

yeah they are not the biggest bargain ... I really like the idea ... that way you get the ventilated seats which might be a must ... and some color into the cabin, although I really like the GTS pkg with the dev stitching and CF...

Latest update, car is at port and latest delivery date estimate is January 23rd!
That is give or take 5 days or so... if I get the car by early February I'll be happy. Should have the vessel info any day now too. Excited!
