Never leave out the multi contour seats.

Comfort access.

Spare tire if that is important to you, it is cheaper up front.

I wouldn't be without the cold weather package. Your climate may be different.

Adaptive drive gets a lot of good reviews?

What are you going to use for a winter setup? Sometimes cheaper to see what the dealer will add in as part of the deal, if they have some wheels that were take-offs.

To JCL and everyone else who replied so far. Thanks again.

My father has a Cayenne Turbo S with comfort access and that is what turned me away from it. I honestly like the old fashioned keyed startup and entry much better. Just personal preference.

Spare tire, no biggie for me. I am thinking about ditching the runflats before build though.

Cold weather package on m sport only adds rear heated seats, ski bag, and retractable headlight washers. For me in NY, being single without kids, I really dont need the 750 option that only gives a few features that I really dont need or use.

Adaptive Drive I would LOVE to have, but it is not financially feasible for me.

For a winter setup, my car will be garaged on all days except for 50 degrees and sunny. I own a mercury mountaineer beater SUV for daily driving in the winter.

Oh and thanks to you guys I ENDED UP Adding on the 900 dollar multi contour seat option. So that raised the MSRP slightly.

I am on the fence right now because of the M Performance Package.
I just got off the phone with the dealer and he called up Dinan Direct. Dinan stated that the 2013 50i tune is under development and wont be ready for a few months. He said there were many changes and variables in the ECU when compared to the 2012 50i. So, that means I am still on the fence with the M Performance Package. I am thinking maybe just order the $1600 m perf and than wait a year or so for the Dinan Stage 2 to be released which will bring the car over 500 horse and close to 600 torque. be happy with 440/480 for the time being. lol

HIRISC! CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW M SPORT BROTHA!
