I messaged Peter from the website and he came back straight away with the below information on sizes. Looks a really good option, just wondered if anyone had purchased.
Three bags to front boot (without ”corner" inside):
2 bags 65 x 41 x 19 centimeters
1 bag 69 x 22 x 13-7 cm (it slopes)
Four bags to the rear seat:
2 bags 44 x 34 x 20 cm
2 bags 33 x 31 x 15 cm
One bag to the hat rack:
76,5 x 32 x 11-10 cm (sloping)
I wonder what is the boot without corner inside?
is it a toolkit? Or something else?
Yes it was a long review but I agree with a lot of it and will be particularly useful to anyone that’s not yet locked in options.
However, I think you’ve only really got to know one side of this car’s split personality.
I find the car that ambles along gently on my daily drive below 4000 rpm is a different beast from the one that snarls at you over 6000 in Sport or Sport+. It’s personality changes quite a bit!
If you track it occasionally or live somewhere where there are winding country roads etc you really get to appreciate the other personality.
Sadly in my case that’s only something I get to do very occasionally.
Still, however close you personally get to exploiting the potential of this car, in the back of your mind you’ll always know that even the experts that test all the 911’s rate this one very highly!
Oh, I can't wait to meet Mr. Hyde! 700 miles and counting.

Cheers.
Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed review. I've been doing many reviews along the way. I agree and disagree with some stuff. My opinions change as my time with the car changes. I'm very interested to see where I end up once it's fully broken in and I can explore the entire rev band.
Off to go, give it a wash and then another drive.
1st wash 3 weeks after pickup. DIY ceramic coated. @Macboy Got my clear side markers in the Mail.
992 T Expense to date (Trying to keep all in cost with mods around $130K excl. taxes/fees). Ha, I’m not as rich as many of u folks here. I’ve saved a long time for my T. That’s why I waited so long since 992 introduced hoping they would make the T. Almost got impatient and bought GT4. So glad I waited.
T $122K + tax/fees
Key cover $40
PPF (Hood, Fenders, Bumper) $1,500
PPF small black part of 3rd brake light - thanks @Barkat03 - Free
OEM Clear side markers - $145
Ceramic coat cost DIY $50
Audio -TBD
Exhaust -TBD
Body parts - TBD

I ALSO WANT TO PLAY!!!
How do I get my 992T out of PDI purgatory?
I think PPF will have to wait, until I scratch the itch!
Thanks for all the Pics, I really wanted your interior but if i get it, I lose my blue seat belts....Can't wait....Still have some time, lock date is 3rd week of June, unless it changes......Thanks Again
Just to be clear: if you get the standard checkered flag interior you have basically this same interior. The stitching color is not very different. Only the headrest logo is slightly lighter. The lines on the chair are no way as visible as on the green one. The checkered cloth is the exact same (which was not clear in early pictures!). So I really think you should go for the normal one with the blue seat belts considering you like them.

Welcome here with this brilliant review. It rarely occurs that someone is writing in details and you hear yourself speaking all the time. Can very relate to your BMW driving style and the choice for the 911. You have noticed now that Porsche is #1 with chassis being gentle and comfortable whilst remaining a real sportscar. They are just damping wizards. Also liked your discovery of the seating position with your left leg resting. Brilliant. Do you have the variable sport steering?
I can’t wait till your full review in SPORT mode. Cause let’s be honest: there is no reason why you shouldn’t mostly drive in SPORT mode. Normal mode maybe for driving quiet to work. Sportplus on track. But otherwise the car should always be in SPORT. Sound is brilliant. Autoblip is brilliant. Start/stop is turned off for you.
I don’t recall reading during brake in period sport mode should be avoided? So just press that SPORT button and start enjoying your car as you should and write a new full review with more words. Couldn’t stop reading like you couldn’t stop driving

@ECNJ did you DIY pain correction as well? Is so, how was it? I got two Avalon King Armor Shield IX kits sitting in my basement that I never used. When I got my 718, there were too many factory/transport swirls on the paint, not something that was obvious, but something that would definitely bother my OCD if I cover it with ceramic without fixing. I was too scared to buff it on my own.

Wooooow! I mean come on it just transforms the car completely! Especially on black with all the black/white tints. Amazing looking. I even like the white part in the headlight on the black car.

Yes. I’ve done this before on other cars. Ha, I think u spelled it right, “Pain” in the **s correction. Used clay bar and polishing. U could get someone to do the buffing for u if concerned? Didn’t need to do much. My wrapper looked over entire car for me using his light and pointed out some spots. He said some pretty bad from factory like Teslas but thought pretty darn good as is. Maybe a pro would do better but good enough for me and I don’t want to spend what detailers charge. My wrapper encouraged me to do it myself based on what he saw. Indeed, another personal decision item. I’m very pleased with the results. Looks better in person.
Oh, the wheels took some time doing it on the car. But wear gloves (no skin cuts). Able to do entire inside of barrel.
@Pivot Nano Bond. I’ve used it on my other cars. Easy application and cheap.

Thanks for the tips. There are a couple of reputable places around, but they charge an arm and a leg. I’m on the fence about it, would hate to pay someone for a job I can do myself. But at the same time, if they do a good job, might be worth the money to save me the headache.
@Spydert great first impressions. Thank you for sharing.

This is what makes 911s from all generations so special. You are driving a pendulum with the weight in the back. The rear bias is less noticeable than in previous generations, making it easier to drive, but it's still there and it's signature 911. When taking turns, you want to slow to the speed you can carry then commit and don't lift. If you lift, you induce oversteer. Then, just before you hit the apex, progressively but quickly get on the throttle and power out. No other car can carry as much speed out of corners because of the rear weight bias.
@ECNJ your car looks amazing and good for you for building a stripper. Mine's also A1 black and $128k. Basically stripper with a nice (to me) interior. Mine should've arrived Friday. It could be today! Pics of your car have kept me inspired through these past couple of weeks. BTW, I too almost got a GT4 and glad I didn't.
