welcome. beautiful car. does the M steering wheel come with the 3.0 si?

Only if you order the Sport model. The SE gets the standard wheel. I must admit I don't know how the model structure works in the US, but we have the choice between the two here. Sport spec also gets stiffer suspension, the oh-so-comfy M-sport seats, and a few other niceties.

Those aren't the rims you get on the sport coupes in the US

They're not standard on the UK spec Sport model either - they're on the options list.

Looks good - how do you like it so far?

So far, so good. I've come from a MKV Golf GTi with DSG, and as good a car as that is, this just feels....well, more special from the moment you get in and start it.
The gearchanges from the Steptronic aren't quite as rapid as the DSG, but there isn't much in it, and the Steptronic is much smoother.
Fuel economy (not that anyone buying a car like this should be too concerned about it) is on a par with the Golf as well, which is a pleasant bonus when V-Power is around 1.09 per litre....
