Great choice. Always fancied one of these in M Performance guise. Love the spec - ideal would add sunroof and adaptive suspension too but they are like gold dust! Those bronze wheels look awesome against the paintwork - don’t change them. Think some M Performance side sill stickers would finish it off nicely. Looking forward to future videos! 👍🏽

Only thing that I don't agree with, it's the electric seats. This is more of a sports car rather than a luxury one. I think I would go for manual seats and spare a 50-60 kg (i think?) off the weight of the car. I mean, I'm not adjusting my seats every day.
