I'm pretty set on the white and red combo, and am settling for the standard 19 inch Panamera Turbo II rims, as I might possibly upgrade to after market ones later. What do you guys think?

 

I love my adaptive cruise control -- it will monitor the speed of the car in front of you and maintain a constant distance behind. It will even slow you to a stop in traffic without your hitting the brake and resume once you tap the accelerator --

Also don't see the blind spot detection option (it causes a light on the mirrors to illuminate if there's a car next to you) -- VERY handy given the significant blind spots these cars have.

Especially on less-than-perfect roads, I'd be hesitant to go with wheels over 20" in diameter, You might want to option the factory wheels you like up front.

 

White/red combo is FANTASTIC! Everything looks good - I would add Burmester as Ive listened to it in a friends car and I'm hooked. I would also add extended LED light package.

 

I agree with XLR. I have Burmeister and the upgraded interior lighting packages and love them both. 4 zone climate control is a waste but if you live in a warm climate definitely get seat ventilation. You're building a really nice car !

 

It's Burmester. Auto spell changes it every time.

 

Agreed - seat ventilation is key in warm climates. Useful in south Florida summers.

 

Not sure if I agree with the comment that the 4 zone climate control is a "waste." It's my understanding that the 4 zone system adds a second compressor that significantly upgrades the panamera's cabin cooling capacity. Given that others have had issues with the panamera's "anemic" AC system, extra cooling capacity sounds like a good idea.

Also agree on the Burnmeister sound system upgrade -- have this and love it in our GTS

 

First time I heard B was in a friends brand new GTS rolling 7K RPM on the way to my birthday dinner and then en route to the strip club with his size 2 wife and my #1 ECU calibrator. Stellar system and even better after hours....
