New Panamera Turbo Owner

Just picked up a 2011 Panamera Turbo with 22.5 miles. Specifically wanted Sport exhaust, Bermester stereo, Sport Chronos and 20 inch wheels...

Love the car so far, only complaint is it is soooo quiet inside!!! I know, but I came from a RPI modified V10 m5 that had one of the best exhaust notes in the world!

I will be driving this bad boy in the WI winters , getting my winter tires and rims put on next week. If anyone else is from the Midwest please introduce yourself! We currently reside in GB and our business is in Chicago.

Congrats! I also made the transition from an E60 M5 to a Panamera turbo. Although the PTT lacks the high rev V10 scream, the torque and handling is intoxicating. The exhaust note is lacking in the PTT. I would highly recommend getting some downpipes.

Welcome to the Forum, I just purchased my PTT as well about a month ago. Due to the winter coming up I'm kind of holding out on a lot of Mods I want to do to the car until Spring. Like Vivid States, Tune is the best bang for the $$$. I live by Gurnne IL area in Lake county so I'm pretty close to you. Maybe we should do a track day before the weather gets worse out here. Hopefully I get a tune in the next couple weeks.

Agreed. I have 200cel cat downpipes and a TechArt rear section and it's too quiet. Cat-less downpipes and smaller mufflers would most likely do the trick.

H&R makes a lowering module, isn't quite the same though. Lowers the car approx 1.4" front and 1.2" rear

Welcome from Chicago. Car looks exactly how mine looked when I first bought it. I wanted the KW but found out as well it is discontinued last year. Im using the H&R module and it works pretty well.

Thanks for the welcome!

Jayfunk your car looks NICE! Love the Rohana rims...I will be down in the suburbs of chicago in the next couple of weeks I will post and see if anyone wants to meet for lunch.

I am going to posting another thread on rustproofing ( i will wait a day), does anyone else drive their cars during the winters and did you put a undercoat rust proof protection on your panny?

Kami... Not sure I will have time to track it till spring, but a road america trip or autobahn in joliet would be awesome. Would be great if you got the tune and we could drive them side by side...

on a side note how come NO one on the forum actually posts time trap pre-tune and post-tune... I dont care what my butt or the dyno say...only what the trap times tell me!

We gonna get a long very well, that is all I care about as well. I ran 11.8 at 116 MPH already posted the slip on here and also on drag times. I think I can get the car to go 11.7 stock for sure with a bit better traction. I hope I get to run it again before the tune goes on but we will see.
I can always flash it back to stock on the right day with good traction and flash it back to tune mode. So that will work as well
