Nice specs. I have to say, of the options available, I might get sucked into Brooklyn Grey, which I really don't like.

I loathe BG. My family member is going to order it which is totally fine with me.

I like your choices! Do you get the feeling like TR is a little lipstick red? Either way I totally agree with the AW backup.

AW/Cognac

Something’s I would change opt out.

- no carbon roof
- no parking assistant
- no heated wheel
- no remote engine start

I’ll take that savings and add

- carbon fiber interior trim =)

Does remote engine start work with a manual?

I saw a mention that it did not; also no active cruise control. No 3D cameras...And no laser lights...

For resale reasons I feel you have got to have the carbon fiber roof and parking assistance for PDC alone. The heated steering wheel and remote engine start are 500 bucks combined. Peanuts for two features most everyone wants these days.

My gripe with the carbon fiber trim is it adds it to the steering wheel which I am not a fan of. The gloss can produce glare. I would get it if it wasn’t for this one fault.

I forgot about that, but I am guessing probably not which would be fine.

FYI, Laser lights are not option on the G87. Adaptive Full LED only

I didn’t realize PDC was not standard. The way they implemented the sensors is shit though.

What happened to the in bumper circles.
