Many thanks for your considered replies.Â Maybe I'll ditch the Bose and spend more on surround cameras!

Both the sunroof and surround I highly recommend.
Both have been used regularly.

Try to have a listen before you ditch the Bose.

Opinions vary widely, for me sound quality is important so I've gone for the Burmester, cheap compared to any decent domestic system.

I'd ditch the Pano roof first and i'm still uncertain about the surround cam.

If you get an opinion from everyone you will certainly be completely confused!

Great news! Be prepared for long nights waiting for that magical delivery day!

Congratulations! Spec looks good and quite similar to what I'm going for. I also removed the Bose and add surround view plus a couple of other bits.

It's a nightmare choice, isn't it? There are so many compelling "must have" options! I tried Surround View yesterday on a recent used Macan, and it was much better than I'd been led to expect. On the other hand, there are so many options which fit into my classification of "silly money" - the demo car I drove yesterday had black painted exhaust pipe trims, only £527....

Bargain!

My SE said don't waste money (unless you've got money to waste) on stuff like the exhaust tips or tinted rear light clusters, focus on things that you'll really benefit from and that will help resale. I scaled back my more frivolous option choices based on his advice. Apparently OPC SEs aren't rewarded on the value of options we choose so they can be more honest! Not sure how common that is among main dealers for other brands.

My SE told me the same that they dont get paid on options and extras. Not sure i 100% believe it but i did some test on CarWow with a few various German models.
The base model and one with around £6-7k of extras. There was very little discount given on the additional £6-7k. so could well be true that they dont get any extra commission...

Always spec what you want and like. Even if budget allows i would spec what i want and not for the next owner....

My SE in Belfast said the same too.
