Thanks, added folding mirrors. Not sure burmiester is in the budget.

Is it available separately? I only see it as part of the premium plus package.

good question. Not sure about that on the configurator but wonder if you could request it thru the dealer on your order.

I'm curious why you and others get the folding mirrors?

I have the option on my BMW and have used it a few times. Parking in garages in a city can be tight at times. Not that I like to do it but sometimes there is no other option. My wife uses it daily with her minivan to get into the garage.

On another note, I also added online services.

A minivan is a lot wider than a 991.

You don't want any of the colored guages and belts?

Great build. I don't have folding mirrors- but if you park in a tight garage they would be very nice to have. The lighting design package - with led ambient lighting spread around and a heated steering wheel are things that I might not have ordered - but it were on the car I got - and I really like both.

Rapture1 is infamous around these parts
Folding mirrors also have lights that point down and illuminate the entry area.

Thanks for the input. I'd love to get the light package but as far as I can tell its only available with the premium package which doesn't seem worth the $. I'm going to ask if its available separately.

Currently I have the sport design steering wheel which is not available with heating, perhaps I should switch especially because I'm going with manual so I don't need PDK integration.

Good question, I just don't think anything but black will go with the espresso leather

I think you will find that silver works well with Espresso. Ask Fester.

As for folding mirrors, I spent most of my life in London and found there is definitely a need for folding mirrors in UK and most of Europe. Since coming to the US over 8 years ago I have never really had the need for folding mirrors. If I do I just manually fold the mirror. The lighting might be a nice touch but again doesn't inspire me to add it. Just my opinion. Nice build - consider white or yellow dials...

Happy building!!!
