Same..but you would lose some butt cushioning in order to get the message function (I am told). I tried both and the 18 way was just more comfortable to sit in so happy I went with them.

No massage in butt area unlike X5. Not missed, seat bottom is similar 14 and 18 way, just no movable side bolsters. I'm not tracking a 5K lb suv so not missing the hip grip. Now the coming Boxster is a different story.

I think it was the size of the seat and back bolsters that made them feel better. Had they had a 14 way with massage I could have tried that function but i only had a static 14 vs 18 way comparison to go by. If there is no butt surface modification then I was misled by the SA but he did mention that very few cars they sold have even had the feature so I suppose he just didn’t know. Still ok with the 18 way regardless but I agree that if the 18 way had massage I would have opted for it. I just love the premium feel of the larger bolsters.

The 18 way seats are super (and almost surprisingly) comfortable to BOTH me and my wife on both around town and very long road trips. For me, the I really noticed after a few days that that specifically the side and seat bolsters (in addition to the seating position, seat extended and near infinite adjustments, of course) are actually a big part of that comfort. I would definitely reorder them.

I had specced a 4S with ruby red and truffle and Avenura green and truffle interior and was leaning with the green as I worry red and truffle is too much. Glad you like the green (I'll probably go that route). Thanks for the ics and sharing.

love the aventurine green. in retrospect, very well described in the configurator: “Aventurine Green Metallic is a warm, not too bright, metallic Green option with an elegant yet sporty appeal to it.”

Great feedback, great spec. Now I regret not doing Turbonite on my RS22's. Yours look great. Oh well, good reason to look forward to the next one. Congrats.

Thanks, love these rims. To the next one!

How’s the ride quality on the 22” rims? I agree those are the best looking wheels, but wondered about the harshness of the ride.
Great spec. Gorgeous car. Congrats

Thank you @henrus!
Both the Macon 4 (2 of them actually) that I test drove before I placed my order AND my Turbo have 22 inch rims and air suspension, so I’m not sure I have a lot to compare it to with the 20s or 21s. What I can tell you is the ride is firm and sporty in normal mode but still extremely comfortable and pretty supple on the 22”s with air (std in the states). Tightens up in Sport. I am very pleased with the ride and would select them again for sure.

…really nice on the road trips at speed …but you do hear the tires a bit. I did not order acoustic glass on the advice of my very good and experienced SA - due to muting of phone and garage signals - and at the time there it would have possibly delayed my order, but I do wonder about that one from time to time for that reason. Otherwise car is very quiet. Again, I am happy but just wonder occasionally and some folks swear by the glass - others say no.

Nice build. I actually wanted to switch to Aventurine green but my build locked.

Wait you did 1,250 already? Im 41.5 hours, 3 or 4 weeks in and I am at 999. Wish I had the time to drive more.

Thanks @alvaro!
Yep, 1,250 plus - one massive road trip from DC to Charlotte and back did it! She’s a great road warrior, by the way. Especially with ACC/ALK/Innodrive & the HUD (and fast charging)!

Good to know, I’m planning an ATL to Charlotte trip this week as well.
