Thanks so to sum up:
PASM is essential for 21” wheels but probably necessary for 20” wheels
All leather interior is pretty esssential
SC is a nice to have only so can do without
BOSE doesn’t add much to the standard system so can drop that too
Am in two minds about dropping to 20” wheels. I don’t mind that they look smaller and the smoother the ride the better - the issue for me is just that the ones on offer with the new Cayenne aren’t very inspiring to look at plus agree that the wheel arch extensions look better.
New Cayenne order

PASM not only for comfort, but also better handling when needed. Makes the car more versatile. Very pleasant, whatever your wheelsize.
I prefer the 21inch, but the 20inch Cayenne Sport wheels aren’t bad either. Plus, on a darker colour they look bigger (well, car looks smaller).
By the way, you can drop interior lighting package too. I almost always have it off, as it distracts from seeing the road driving at night. I only took it on the Macan because otherwise interior lights were not of the LED type as compared to my LED headlights... talk about anal hahahhaha. Ah well... Pretty sure the new cayenne has all LED anyway already so...
Whatever you decide, the car will be very pleasant. These are all icings on the cake .

If you want to achieve close to your budget, remember why you're buying a huge SUV / off-roader and not a sports car in the first place and therefore I would suggest:
- Sport Chrono is a waste of money in an SUV, just a gimmick, so delete that.
- 21" wheels totally unnecessary, just bling, so delete those. You will be inside, driving the thing, not staring at it. The standard 19" look OK too, would just need powder coating as they are very bright
- POWER STEERING PLUS - not sure why one would want that
- Leather interior - essential in a big SUV as it makes if feel much more premium and a nice place to be in for long periods of time. Standard interior is a bit drab.
- BOSE, nice to have, but can do without
- PASM is a must

£38.00 spent on the smoking package is a bargain must have. It covers up a gaping hole in the consul with a nice opening flap. I believe, it also covers a void under the heater control in the rear passenger compartment.

Yes, agreed too. Semerka - couldn't have put it better myself!
I think that's now a sensible spec for a superb big SUV.
