Agreed but for day to day driving and on British Roads you'd not see a real world difference.

If I'd had a limitless budget I am sure I'd have ticked the box. Buckets and exclusive colour would have beaten ceramics for me for similar cost.

I ordered them as a bit of a luxury to be honest and as I had issues with the wave disks
Would've gone for exclusive colour if I could've waiting another 4 months, and buckets didn't work for family (although I loved them in my b7 and first b8) as my elderly mother pretty much falls into the car and then can't get out. My 7yr olds booster seat doesn't fit in them either
