    Not to my tastes

    Strange how we all obsess about such minor little things... and how much we are willing to pay for them, myself incl

    Now if it were a 'heads up' PCM option on the windscreen THEN we should be getting properly excited. Until that time, colour of little bits of interior plastic shouldn't really be important.

    In fact this picture illustrates how the leather PCM option will look like. I was rather disappointed to see that the leather will not cover the PCM completely

    While PCM in leather used to be a great option one has to think about it twice in combination with the new PCM. The painted PCM I would definitively try to avoid. The look is really strange...

    It looks like a 'Photoshop' job. To many jagged edges.

    This is not the leather PCM option. I have the same leather option on my new car ( delivery on thursday). It's option CVP or CDA. All the aluminium parts are covered with leather, but not the PCM

    No, genuine, photographed by yours truly at Porsche.

    I am indeed referring to the leather PCM option

    I already saw this option installed in two factory cars (the leather PCM option is not yet available to order): the leather covers only parts of the PCM - just like the white paint in the above picture. Thus, the looks of the leather PCM option (as the paint PCM option) are very different from the older offer (old PCM). I don't like the looks of the new leather/paint options too much

    Does anyone know if there is or will be any option for that huge volcano grey piece on the PDK steering wheel? Could it be painted in a different color or covered with leather?
