Your car being garaged does not need the heated front screen. Provided you leave the Air Con on year round with Auto set for both sides, you will not even get condensation. The rapid "max heat" button can be used, if either should occur, to rapidly clear the screen. The heated rear screen and exterior mirrors will do the rest.

Ditch the auto dim mirrors and Lane change assist, but keep the Speed Limit Indicator option.

Above is based in my 5-year experience with Macans.

I personally would not bother with speed limit indicator. If you use apple car play + Waze you get it for free

^^^ I'm a Samsung Android user. I prefer the speed to be shown in the small right hand dash dial within direct eye contact. Rather than having to look across to the PCM.

That's where it shows with the speed limit indicator. Either in its own screen or at the lower right hand edge or the MFD screen when the oil pressure and temperature readings are displayed. The "No Overtaking" display appears alongside the speed limit when appropriate.

Yep. That's why I specced it on both Macans. Wouldn't be without it. ;)

It's very personal choice but i'd ditch the heated screen, the BOSE and the bordeaux seat belts; the latter arent seen once you have them on, and are zero value come resale.

Everyone is different, its YOUR car after all

Thanks to all for your advice...going to take off the Bose/heated screen and red seat belts - latter was to give some contrast to the night blue and black interior and add part leather
Driver aids stay as I will miss not having them on long hauls down through France.....

Just be careful that things you’ve taken time to spec aren’t going to be a subject of regret if u remove them. The Bose represents not much more than 1% of my spec and I like to listen to music, plus I feel sure this will be an item that the used market will look for ;)

Just for perspective (before THHGTTG comes on extolling the virtues of Bose) I have the standard stereo which I think is now “bedded in” so to speak. It is not as good as the Harmon Kardon systems I have had in previous BM’s, but is probably on par with the Meridean I had in the Fpace, albeit it was not the surround sound version.
It’s perfectly good and plenty loud enough without distorting. If I really wanted a “proper” sound system I would spec Burmester not Bose…

Speed limit indicator and lane change assist, if you can drive drop them, if you need all the help you can get keep them.

External bling, is it really necessary?

IMO cash is better spent on what you can see and use from the drivers seat.

I would have my heated steering wheel anyday over the heated seats that I have.

ACC is brilliant as is SurCam.
