I like how you said stepping up to a Pcar!!!
M3's are really nice, but a different german breed.
I have Midnight Blue with Stone grey, was a no brainer choice at the time, but I really wish I would of looked at the Cocoa color interior, its soo unique.
IMO, black is too harsh for Midnight Blue , but its a classic color!!

I love my heated seats, cant live w/o them, especially in winter cold morning start ups, but even this morning at 8am going to the Starbucks drive through I had it on low.

I had my console painted midnight blue, get it now if you like something different.
Have a clear bra added into the deal, or have them give you a price and have one done right at purchase.

If you love a killer diller stereo, even the Bose upgrade wont satisfy your thirst for excellent sound.
lastly,
The XRR wheels 19' are HOT, look really nice on the 997
Thicker steering wheel seems to be the 'in' thing now!!
