I didn’t select heated, my hands sweat enough lmao. That and central TX is pretty mild in terms of cold weather. If I was still in the Northeast I would’ve gone heated.

Oh yeah you’re good then. Do you experience any of those gnarly winter storms Texas has gotten those last few years?

You’re not getting a heated wheel on an $80k car? Get the heated wheel. It’s not going to break. Things will break. A heated wheel isn’t one of them.

Buying a heated wheel in Texas is like buying ice in Antarctica. Not about the money.

Not really, we usually get a single 1-2 day freeze but everything gets canceled when that happens.

I have the heated wheel in TX. There are plenty of mornings in the 30s throughout Winter when I'm leaving for work. It's nice when I remote start the car to get in and have a warm wheel.

No heated wheel on my 2025 M2 order in Ohio. I will only drive it on nice days with outside temps 45 and up (summer tires). Can put the $200 toward a few tanks of gas instead.

In German it is actually pronounced Porsch-eh


On topic, I'd have to go blue or purple with base everything outside of the M driver's pack and plus pack. The track pack is stupid expensive for what it is.

MY25 M4 Comp in Java green + silver wheels in case anyone that ordered the same spec M2 wants an idea how the finishes work together.


And here's a reference for SPY + Silver wheels

Oh trust I peeped it, your spec is gonna be clean. Often times cars look worse in the config than in real life and the fact that our cars with these colors already look good using the configurator is a great sign.

Agreed and thanks for the kine words. I am thinking copperish/goldish wheels to go with the car as well. I think it will look solid. Something like this….
