Thanks for all the advice, I can now formally say that I/we have joined the band of Macan S owners.
My wife was positive from first sight, loved the look of the car and the interior.the
It got better with driving, saying how much more comfortable the car was and far more controllable under power.
The M135i does react far quicker to applications of the loud pedal, whereas the Macan is ....shall we say more refined in power delivery.
We had the car for a couple of hours without any salesman which made her feel more confident. Drove an assortment of roads, car parks and parallel parking all without concern.
So we paid the deposit PXd the Beemer at a grand more than WBAC, got two new Porsche coded Pirellis for the rear...job done.
Only option it lacked that I really wished it had, was rear camera rather than just the sensors, I don't know if this could be retrofitted? I was keen on Bose but the standard system seems quite good, better then the system in my F-Type and the one in the Beemer, so happy about that.
We collect the car next Wednesday, I will post some pictures.
Okay it's not the GTS I had originally hoped for, but a great compromise and a hell of a lot cheaper for a 2018 S vs 2016/7 MY GTS.
Proud new 2018 Macan S owner

Lots of new owner questions soon.
1st) Can the exhaust tips just be polished up with Autosolve?
