White GTS in Miami

After doing a long research on Panamera, I finally ordered the car yesterday.
I have yet to see one in person but I just felt in love with exhaust note coming from the GTS.
Here are the specs...
White with black alacantara
20" Turbo II wheels
Bose sound
Servotronic
Porsche entry and drive
Sideskirts painted
HD radio
Lane change asst
Reverse camera
Alacantara steering wheel.

Am I missing out any must have options?
I was told they can get me a December production slot and the car will be here by end of Jan.
I thought that porsche ordering process takes longer than that.

I would skip on the servotronic. I think that would totally ruin the GTS experience.

Burmester is a must in these cars. I have never heard anything so amazing in any automobile. I have servotronic steering, not sure I would know the difference if I didn't have it. My kids enjoy the power side sunshades ( makes them feel like rockstars...) .
At this point get whatever your want, make it yours

Skip Servotronic - its useless

Skip sideskirts painted - way cheaper to have your own body shop paint it

Alcantara shifter to match your steering wheel - i know its painful total close to $2000 for both shifter and steering wheel but its so worth it (i hv them lol)

Go for Burmester!! its amazing (i hv it too lol)

Sports exhaust with valve control - GTS sounds like heaven

If you gona track the car - PDCC and Ceramic brakes are must - i know this is combined $15000 option its crazy

Thanks for you reply.
Sideskirts painted is free of charge and sports exhaust is standard option on the GTS.
Burmester is tempting but I'll use that money for a set of aftermarket wheels. I got to listen to bose sound system in my friend's 4s it was good enough for me much better than premium sound in my 7series.
I'm not going to track the car at all so need for PDCC and ceramic brakes.

First of all, congrats on the decision. GTS is sooo good looking in white. And white looks good in Miami (I'm biased a bit )
-I have ceramic brakes in my other car. Not recommended in city traffic. They're not that good if they're not hot.
-PDCC is good to have
-I'd get the Alcantara goodies as well. They look very nice in black interiors. Especially with GTS seats.

Don't forget to order Comfort Light PKG, or is it standard on the GTS? You need that in order to have LED in the interior lights. I will also get 4-zone climate control, not only you get individual controls at the back, you also get a second air cond unit, even if you normally do not carry passengers at the back, the whole car will still cool down much faster, especially in Miami.

Burmester is nice, but the fact is that road noise just kills any good stereo.
Wouldnt pay for it myself.

PDCC I think is worth it, not just for track, bu LSD that comes with it offers extra traction in anything but dry. Id take it.

Servotronic in the city is a must and one of the things I most like in this car.

If I was you Id take Sports exhaust, The GTS is all about sound.

In a climate with winters, Id take the rear wiper. EDIT: In Miami forget about it

Just to comment on PCCB, best brakes I ever had, although I mostly drive from warm garages, maybe that affects my opinnion, I drive mostly stop-go traffic and slow city roads.
