Can you share that German forum?

I thought that the black Warmenau wheels were “simpler” to produce than the silver/black ones…

It's this forum:

https://www.motor-talk.de/forum/gti-50-jahre-jubilaeumsmodell-2026-t8175078.html?page=168

I believe this is the German Pistonheads like forum, it's very active.

Fellow Irish members, I’ve had it confirmed by VW via my dealer that the extra cost for the semi-slick tyres in the configurator is a mistake. The tyres are included “free” in the performance pack.
Joe if this is the case it's a saving of 1400/1500 correct

Probably gonna disappoint as I DID NOT spec the PP. I couldn’t justify it at an already premium price point. I ain’t gonna be talking it on a track and I think the ride is gonna feel great either way. Tornado red, red glaze QT, area view, HK, and AV steering wheel. Debated the pano but went agaisnt it. My previous car (S3 saloon) I had the pano, and whilst good for the visuals I rarely used it, and as the ED50 has the black roof, this was enough for me :) hopefully have some nice pics after detailing in a week or two ☺️🙏

Sounds lovely! Yep, the PP is a difficult one to justify. I dare you to look at what it costs to spec here in Ireland…

Looking forward to the pics!

I just looked, that’s unreal 🤯 I don’t understand how the prices vary so dramatically
