Finally own a Panamera

I've been "slow walking" this car for some time and finally closed the deal Friday, and have simply been grinning ear to ear since. The Panny4S replaced my Audi D3 S8 and is a more than capable replacement.

As with anything the modifications have already started with the side delete markers ordered/delivered, H&R springs ordered, and a trunk mat in route as well.

The car did come with the AWE exhaust which is simply music to my ears!

Pics because no thread is truly useful without pictures

Congrats! Great looking car in black!

I just got mine a couple of weeks ago as well. Great vehicle!

Just curious where you bought the side marker delete kit.

Just wondering if you noticed any faint light coming out from the painted side markers? Mine do.

I tested mine last night with my LED light from my iPhone and there is some light emitted but not much.

Driving Impressions:


So again coming from a D3S8 I didn't think I would be surprised/impressed the power output of the Panamera, HOWEVER I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the car puts the power down combined with the agility of the car.

As someone that enjoys spirited driving, I love the way the interior hugs me 6'4", 225lb frame in the same manner a tailored shirt/suit fits. The best part is that my children have plenty of room in the back and my wife loves it as well.

The multi-function steering wheel and PCM are fairly intuitive to use as is the Bluetooth pairing. The only thing that I find disturbing is that I can't Bluetooth stream my music and utilize the USB plug in the arm rest as a charger.

Cheers!

Will do, the springs are here, actually thinking about what other pieces should be replaced while we're pulling the suspension apart.

Do you have them still turned on? Or do you mean you can still see the reflector coming thru? Because if you see the light you'll have to have them coded off to not see them at all.

With my iPhone plugged into the USB port in the audio source set on iPod I have no problem streaming music along with the phone charging
You can also Bluetooth stream but the phone will not charge hope this helps !!
