The dealer speculates that there is over-supply of SDs in the system. Orders have fallen off in response to the VAG woes with the Bosch dieselgate scandal

Welcome.

Looks like right time, right place for you in that you picked up the build slot a cancelled order.

Build is six weeks after lockdown then delivery in range of 1-4 weeks hence your Macn fits into the vacant build slot.

Images?

"......... I went for the oil burner. On a test drive the petrol S achieved 23 mpg without being horsed on and to be honest was too refined. I was expecting more of an animal."

Couldn't agree more.
Care to share your Porsche spec code?

Is that how it's done on here?

Spot on.
Do consider some of the other key OE options like PASM, Xenons /LED headlights and dark tinted rear windows

Very tempted on the headlamps but I don't drive much in the dark. The will seldom be anyone in the back. PASM? Is that the Power Steering? I dismissed that. I found the Test Car quite light in hand compared to my current 10 yr old X5. I forced myself not to start ticking boxes.

Mind you I have just seen a GTS in my mirrors with very tasty DRLs.

The difference between bi-xenons and halogens is literally night & day.

. The LEDs are even better, but at an even higher £ premium..

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) code:1BH:
"You control PASM with only 1 button (on the centre console), between the three settings. The button has two LEDs. When no LED is on, you are in COMFORT mode. You press once, one LED comes on, you are in SPORT mode. Press it again, two LEDs comes on and you are in the SPORT+ mode, which is the stiffest setting."
I run my MAcan in SPORT most of the time.

Both will enhance future saleability / value IMHO.

I could change lamps yet.
Rightly or wrongly I considered suspension management to be of most importance to iron out a stiff ride on skinny rubber. Could be wrong but I have closed my mind to it.
