My completion still says 3/17. Hope we all get through this soon

Just a bmw 4 grand coupe. Not as low, but I think also a lot less overhang vs front tires. I.e. horizontal displacement.

You lose the checkered cloth seats, they swap to leather. Anyone else out there?
I ordered ventilated seats with leather interior… here in Florida

I’m in Houston. I hate additional technologies that can fail/break, so I don’t miss ventilated seats in my BMW. I may learn to like them in Pcar. But even with giant ball sweat conditions in the summer I’m more geared to simplicity, myself.

Ventilated seats spec was 99% to get the durability and feel of leather on my butt.

How often do "additional technologies" fail / break? Are 18-way seats vs. 4-way seats additional tech? Cars are so complicated these days regardless. Just enjoy the ride

How many people went for deviated stitching to get custom colors besides slate gray or green?

Mine is stuck at 3/17 as well with all pics. I think I takes a few days to update and with the weekend mixed in I'm guessing in a day or two it becomes complete.

I just got a new update saying my car is now complete. Just advanced from May delivery to 4/17. My start date of my build was 3/6 and my original delivery date was 3/31, then 4/14, then 5/5, now 4/17.

Anyone have the correct part # for the colored wheel center crest? I know the color is OC6 for Titanium Gray, but want to already have the caps in hand for delivery.

Me. Firstly, I don't like the pinstripe sport tex seat inserts. Secondly, Slate is too washed out and Lizard is too neon for my taste. Thirdly, I wanted deviated stitching in the steering wheel and shifter boot. I ordered deviated stitching in GT Silver which adds steering wheel and boot stitching and replaces the pinstripe spot tex inserts with checkered sport tex. I do like yellow and green but not racing or lizard. I like Speed and Python or Mamba but they don't match the available seatbelt and dial colors. I also ordered seatbelts in silver and dials in white.

  • Gear lever and gear lever boot (manual transmission only)
That means it's in leather, but no coloured stitching as far as I know, you won't miss it once you start driving.

I've had 991.2 Targa in leather with ventilated seats and Targa GTS in alcantara, or whatever they call it now, and I prefer the alcantara, was cooler in summer and warmer in winter when first getting in the car. I felt the ventilated seats are more stiff and firm and less comfortable. Leather seems to absorb the environment negatively, and with ventilation or heat that takes time. Really you are sitting on dead skin.

I'm impressed that my Cayman GTS4.0 is only 1 second behind them. Not bad for a non-GT car (1.9 secs behind the GT4 on Cups). I hate my PZeros and can't wait to replace them with Michelins. They are definitely squirmy when hot and pushed.
It says in the video description.
"Pirelli P Zero NA1"

Regarding the GTS, "it is mid engined, has more hp and it's lighter...thus, it is quicker". Clearly it isn't.
There was much discussion elsewhere regarding this. Now we have lap times to compare and settle it.

And regarding the PZeros, I had the chance to drive a 570S for a few hours today. Mountains roads and rainy/wet now and then. It had PZero Corsa and either the diff is amazing or they grip much better than the Cup2 in the wet.
Based on the feeling, they reminded me of the Pilot Super Sport.

Yes, the P4S, at least on the G80 M3 Competition, are very good tires.
