please don’t try to put a cup in the cigarette ashtray! Pull out first 😜
Yep, fortunately I was aware that the smoking package in its current state is a joke, therefore I did not option it. Just because something is free does not necessarily mean it is worth it.

Maybe? I personally reside in a metropolitan area and my former X5 was definitely wider than my 992 T. This is easy to judge just by having parked either in our garage. I have not any issues. BTW, I also ordered my X5 w/o SV and blindspot detection.

Given that is my photo I will make an immediate comment. Lol FYI, that is not part of the “smoking package.” The smoking package is the ashtray/cup and that is it. The cup holder can be easily swapped out for the included cubby which will rectify the useless cup holder. I keep a small bottle of hand sanitizer and a garage door opener in my cup holder.
Edit: The below is the “Smoking Package” in a 992. Previously, the smoking package included an additional 12V cigarette adapter (2 total). FYI, this ashtray/cup is $74.00 from SunCoast.
I guess mine came free with both. My SA pulled out the smoke tray and put in the open tray. The clips under the ashtray part of the smoking pkg are to strong and make drink cups pop out.
* For those out here that smoke I’ll sell mine for a third off the price over at Sun, if you pay shipping. Brand new never used. 😁

Still buying BMWs? A friend in my development just bought a ‘24 X3 in gray. Nice SUv, we go see the genius this Friday, I told him I’d go with to help with all the confusion. 😵💫

He removed the cup holder. The ashtray/cup goes in the cupholder. There is only one part to the smoking package, it is the ashtray/cup
Edit: Every new 992 in the U.S. comes with the cup holder and the cubby. They are easily interchangeable, all you do is pull up.

No… Thoroughly read the thread, more specifically my post above.
Edit: iDrive 7 in your friend’s G01 X3 is a breeze to use. There should be a little to no confusion. He would absolutely despise iDrive 8/8.5/9 that is now in everything else new from BMW.

As a 997.2 owner as well I can live without all the fluff in my 911s. I have been a licensed driver for nearly 40 years and I have made it this long without this technology so I do not see any reason to get it now. Maybe in another 10-15+ years?.
I’m 63 been driving since I was 16, I want fluff and comfort when I need it. Older 911s are spartan, raw for a driver focus run, new ones like our ‘24 911T with adjustable settings give us both. As for raw, my first car was an LT-1 350 Muncie 4 speed Z28 Camaro….talk about raw! You young whippersnappers have no idea what raw is! 🧐

ok, my smoking pkg that came free fits in the cup holder. It top pulls out as in your picture with the exposed clips. I also have another open tray that came with the car too. (So in total I have 3 parts - ashtray, cup clip tray and open tray). My SA told me it came with both options. Not sure where we go from here but I’m good.

I am in my early 50s and I am the total opposite. If want fluff and comfort I am certainly not purchasing a 911 nor a Cayman or Boxster.
Older 911s being spartan is a significant advantage in my opinion. There is a lot to be said for an analog driving experience.
Who's car is this T in the UK obviously not @TUD ??
Definitely not me. I am in the U.S. and I previously posted inquiring if the owner was here. We have yet to receive a reply so I guess not. They originally posted in the T Facebook group though.

@N3DXT Hi Hope you are really enjoying the Carmen Red T and putting on the miles. I can't find your post I'm afraid, But looking today, the prices are back on the UK configurator. 97K opening shot still! One thing I noticed but have previously missed, is that the T is the only Carrera that no engine power is specified.
Engine out put is quoted for the Carrera and Carrera 4 @385 ps. I wonder if that means it really is closer to 400 as many on these threads think , given the way it goes? Does the same go for the USA configurator ? Answer from you guys across the pond?
Best Devon Racer.
@Green_Tea I did have the painted interior trim on my first car (see Pics) and rather regret not doing it again. In IGM it lightens the interior though I was told by the OPC it can reflect badly on the windscreen in certain lights depending on the day. Mint Green might have been a bit over powering ??? But then again you are a brave man with an even braver wife ! Best Devon Racer.
