New Macan - What do you think of this spec?
Expensive.
Nothing missing, but it'll be getting on for turbo or gts money.
I would downgrade the surround view to rear camera.
dunno if power steering or pdls lights are worth it, as it gets led lights anyway.
A discount off list if prepared to phone aroind and travel to collect

Not dissimilar to the Mrs new S , which we have just driven down to Switzerland
All personal choice of course but here would be my comments having spent hours on the configurator before freeze date.
Is it S or non S?
Adaptive cruise - not missed it on our long trip so far - I also find I concentrate less in my AMG which does have it
Surround view probably a bit over kill
Don’t see the point of sport Chrono on the SUV. I think it only adds launch control - will you ever use it on your own car and a more aggressive (read that as unpleasant gear change!)
Almost went black side blades but then realised it could look a bit funny with the Matt black sills. Same with door handles
I also concluded that the painted rear apron looked too blue.
Haven’t got power steering plus and not sure we are missing anything
If it is an S then I’d consider the PSE because having spent the afternoon at the PEC in one without, it is very quiet.
Here is ours (if I can upload pic properly!)

Nice spec
I use surround view every time I leave my front drive, park or enter the home garage. Having had it on previous BMW become an essential for me.
I have no regrets at specifying Air suspension or Active cruise. The only one of my essentials you miss is lane change assist. I have sports chrome and like it on a facelift for the steering wheel modes switch which I use but if under a budget pressure next time round it might go.
I personally would move to partial leather on a car like a Macan but that again can be a personal taste issue and would agree many of your included extras would take higher priority with me.
I like the quiet refinement of the new particle filtered silenced new S so would never spend money on sports exhaust.
We do not know specs or price of new turbo or even if 100 % certain a GTS emerging or its timing. Personally, in speed limited UK, I find the performance of S more than adequate, I would prefer a higher specced S to a low specced Turbo. I prefer a "bird" S in the "hand" garage to a new GTS where the egg has not yet been laid never mind made the "bush".

We also didnt change the handles and blades, or paint the rear.
I would add the tinted lights though I think it looks better with sapphire.
