Thoughts on Heritage Design Leather Interior?
#121
My Targa with heritage cognac interior will be delivered in a couple of months and I'm curious how the pepita fabric has held up for those who have had it for a while? I'll avoid wearing jeans but I can't control what my passengers may wear. I've heard that the fabric is very durable (thx slc4s for your experience) but wanted to hear from others as well.

I did the leather sun visor because I touch them and they’re visible as I drive the Targa. I didn’t do the leather steering column because that place is not really visible/noticeable and I don’t touch that spot.

I probably would. It was around .2% of the msrp. I honestly don’t even know how often I notice it, but when I do it really goes well with the whole heritage theme.
I’m envious of those who speced the leather heritage door sills, but I can tell you after just 2000 miles mine would be scratched to sh*t, and I’m glad I didn’t order.
I wouldn’t get ambient lighting again. I have never used it. I actually don’t know how. (I really hate the Porsche infotainment system. I avoid “going into” the system like talking to an ex).
I would be 50/50 on getting the ionizer again. Mostly because like above, I avoid the PCM so I couldn’t even tell you if it’s on. I have an ionizer built into a few things at home and they are amazing. That’s why I took a chance.
As many said, I probably wouldn’t need the front axle lift. I ordered it anyway bc this was the most expensive car I’ve ever bought at over 260k msrp. Even with Sport PASM, I don’t think I’ve been in a situation where it was mandatory to use. In contrast I scrape my 2019 GT350 everywhere!
And as said above I did get SPASM. I love it. Was nervous that it would be too rough. It turns out to be more compliant than my 2019 Shelby.
good luck choosing your options!

@Billy Bluejay Thank you for your insight.
I have little difficulty navigating PCM, but my years of dealing with BMW’s iDrive OS maybe why.
I skipped the ambient lighting on my most recent order, but I was thinking about adding it to this one. I have considered the ionizer twice now. I cannot never seem to get any answers if it really does anything.
I went through the 992 ordering madness last August through late October and here I am doing it all over again. I am hoping to get it right this time around.

I did not do the leather visors, as I have had a number of targas in the past, and the first things to start to crack is the visors - sun, UV, etc. This is of course after many years, so they will last a good long time. But also easy and cheaper to replace if ever needed with the vinyl (or whatever the standard is). Of course I only keep my cars usually about 2-3 years, so probably would have been worth it to do it. But I also hate the factory yellow stickers, so aftermarket is also the way to go on that. (I did put the blackout stickers on mine, and it is a perfect blend with the vinyl / leather that is standard...

I also did the leather steering column with the heritage/Cognac. It looks good, but honestly you don't see it.

One complaint I had on my recently pre-traded 2024 T was that the standard vinyl visors felt exceptionally cheap in a vehicle over $140k. With it being a frequently touched item it should be leather.

You are aware that most individuals that spec a T, spec it well above what most spec an S? I did not follow suit as that defeats the ultimate purpose of a T. Regardless plastic visors should not be in a vehicle of this caliber. Make the visors of the material from the standard headliner. What BMW does. It blends in better and feels better to the touch as well.

I am super happy I decided to spec the heritage interior. I skipped the leather visor (seems like a waste of $$). I did put the black vinyl stickers over the airbag warnings like several people have done and am very happy with the appearance. I did not order the leather steering column more out of ignorance rather than choice and don’t regret not getting it. I have protected the fabric and leather the best I can (I am using a Geist product to help protect against friction and UV on the leather). Now I just drive it and giggle like a school girl when I get in. If there is wear, then I will have stories to tell about driving.
