Added Adblue, charged more for options, forgot to paint the lower front grille, cured roof corrosion issue with double sided sticky tape & increased the base price.
I thought Susibus' was a tongue-in-cheek reply ... and not to be taken at face value.Sorry @SusiBus I agree with much of what you often say but that statement is a little inflammatory imho. You have driven diesel right up to the point of acquiring the Buzz…… and if you really believe what you are saying you have sold your old diesel to someone else so that they can kill the children? To answer you question…. not so saintly
Please forgive me if I sound harsh, I am not seeking an argument but you did lay yourself a little open there.
On a more positive note, how are you liking the Buzz? As you may recall we want one (cancelled our pre order) but it will have to wait until LWB van comes along.
Lowered emissions enough to make it possible to drive into London without going bankrupt.
and as for general appreciation.... revel in it and enjoy! ain't nowt wrong with that 
Legislation wise it moved to Euro6 emission spec. which is currently needed for free access to many Cities/Zones.
to add to previous replies, nicer dash, split glass worktop from my18, extra lights in roof etc.

Is that an indication to @SusiBus to start to modify his new bus?German conversion ID Buzz. The images show a workable solution for some.
Alpincamper VW ID.Buzz Campervan (2023) : Camping-Ausbau mit Hubdach für den ID.Buzz
Der bayrische Mini-Camper-Profi Alpincamper erschafft den ersten Vollausbau des VW ID.Buzz zum Campervan. Mit einem Reimo-Hubdach und Möbeln im Retro-Design trifft Bewährtes auf moderne Elektromobilität.
Looks like manual pop top actuation to me. Head room will not be on par with the Transporter.
I hope you’re right. The California is a better van with a manual roof IMO.
The payload limitations are a major headache if VW want to create the ID Cali, especially with the higher capacity battery on board.
Licencing isn't the issue. Its the maximum permitted payload of the MEB platform on which the Buzz is built. Going above that spec will require a complete redesign, which on a niche low volume product like the ID Cali isn't going to happen, at least in the short term. At least that is how I am understanding things.
As the present Transporter chassis supports Vehicle weights from 2600 to 3200kgm, T26 to T32, and the California is based on the T30 3080Kgm, I would have thought the new chassis would have a similar range so a new California could move up to the equivilent of the T32.
UK B licence can drive up to 4.25 tonnes rather than 3.5tnnes if alternative fuel is used.
You are correct.
Looks great.
The Buzz is built on a platform designed for cars whereas the Transporter was designed from the outset as a commercial load carrier. The structural strength of the Buzz platform is not known but VW have stated max permitted loading so I would not think a California as we know it would be based on a Buzz. To keep weight down the Buzz and Multivan have plastic panels!
If it were that simple they would do it, but I bet there has to be some homologation process to complete and thats exceptionally expensive.
