Is the steering wheel thicker than the stock one? My dealer told me, that the alcantara wheel is as thick as the stock one and i should take the upholstered sport steering wheel and then cover it with alcantara after. I like the feel of alcantara too.

The alcantara multifunction wheels is definitely thicker than the standard leather multifunction wheel. I had the standard multifunction wheel in my old car and this feels just right but I would still like it better if it had the humps at 10:00 and 2:00 like the thicker sport wheel option.

Just to answer a few of your questions. If you're curious!

1. I think the black cup holder is standard on all wide bodies.

3. One major difference between the Bose in a cab. vs a coupe is the subwoofer is moved. It is the hump in the center console on the passanger side floor.

6. The clutch in a turbo has a different assist system then the n/a cars.

Hope this helps! All in all, the turbo is one hell of a car.
