Thanks! Your Macan looks awesome. The picture of your spec in your reply here gave me the confidence to not second guess Gentian Blue.
They said it would be built in March to arrive in April/May.

Good call with the calipers in black. With the blue on the wheels it might be too much color there. BTW, I've never seen the pano roof show up on the configurator. Doesn't seem like too big an ask.

I have mud flaps installed on my Macan. Ceramic coating is good if you are ordering a new car and not if you're buying a used/CPO'd one. Oil changes I do every 5k miles just for cheap insurance like you. My first 10k miles oil change check up was free at the dealer which was included in warranty (dealer said my next check up would be around $500). I don't plan on taking my Macan to the dealer for the next oil change and take it to a trusted shop instead since dealers overcharge in everything. I would only take to the dealer if it's a major issue with the car.

Update: it's on the move
Final Build:
And a shot with the panoramic roof that didn't show in the configurator
[edit: the front grill does not come "clean" like in the picture, it still has sensors in the middle]

seems like a lot of us came from BMW. I have had 4 of them and none drive as well as my Macan GTS, including my M5 which even though had objectively better performance, the driving experience was lacking.

I have to admit that the BMW engine pulls like a freight train but the overall experience just isn't that impressive. I'm happy to pay 20-30% more for something that feels like a complete package.

Here are a few delivery day pictures before it goes in for ppf on the lower painted lip and full ceramic:
I couldn't be happier with the wheels. I was worried up until the moment I saw them because you can never really tell from looking at the configurator. Because of the wheel design the painted part sits far enough behind the face to accent but not overpower. They look great in person.
