I am not crazy about the front bumper covers, but I suspect the M sport package will fix that.
Edit: Added M60i pics. Yep, that solved my problem. |

Paint mine in Individual LeMans Blue and it is a done deal. https://youtu.be/kJgn_JkCfpc

Looks good. Still not happy with removing all the buttons*, and doesn’t seem like enough of a change otherwise to justify a $40k+ upgrade cost, so in no rush to update. But if had to get a replacement car would be good with this.
*did they even bury the heated steering wheel control in the screen? 😡

Probably. Unfortunately it’s becoming a trend. Test drove an Audi recently where both the heated steering wheel and homelink controls were buried in the screen. I’ve seen it in other cars too like Jeep products. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The heated wheel buttom on the Cayman is well executed. It's on the backside of the wheel, on the middle spoke, just inside the rim. Basically impossible to hit it by accident, but easily accessible and in an intuitive location.
I pretty much despise touch-screens in cars. Physical buttons and knobs are just far superior. |

I already do that with my car…which I am keeping FOREVER because it has all of the express buttons, shift lever, blah blah PLUS all of the screen/voice control options. So happy I got a 2022 model. |
