Congrats! You'll love the car. Love mine and I love the warm weather package/ventilation. So I assume from the list you didn't get the tech package either? I love the look of the analog gauges with the nice screen between them...has a lot of depth.

The gauges looked cool but it was bundled at a $4400 option and I just didnt think it was worth it. Ill likely miss the headsup display though from my current Camaro SS more than anything.

Welcome to the family. My advice--change the order and add the Prestige package and the Driver Assistance Package. To me it is worth the 10% premium against the sticker.

I second that. I'll also plug the dynamic steering even though it's a less common option from the other guys here. It's polished and seamless and overall fantastic.

If you are keeping the car for any length of time, those options are going to make it a really great experience and will stave off the discontentment of wanting something fresh for a lot longer.

Congrats. Ex BMW guy here as well.

Been driving a simialr set up for a month or so now...but:
Brilliant Black
Black Leather
Dynamic Steering
Nav / Tech package

Loving it so far, but have taken it relatively easy - waiting for the clear bra today to take it for any extended fwy driving etc - a lot of huge / dirty trucks on the roads where I live.

i drove both the regular steering and the dynamic steering. I did not care for the artificially light feeing of the dynamic steering. It felt like driving a Camry, at least on the test drive. Not worth $1100 more dollars IMO.
