Hi everyone.

My name is Arne, and im from Norway. I always had a lot of BMW`s, but im selling my M550d now, and have bought a 2010 Panamera Turbo. The sport chrono. One owner in Germany, and the car is very, very clean.
It is not loaded by any mean, but it has the ceramic brakes and some other goodies.
Looks a bit boring now, but i have a lot of parts on the way.
22" Forgestar F14 are being made. And there will be some carbon stuff.

Replacing the BMW M550d with my new baby




So there will probably be a lot of questions from me the next months, so bear with me.

First up. Does anyone know how to remove the center console and the rear covers on the front seats? I tried google, but i can not find some good DIY.

 

Congrads!! If you are taking out the entire center it will be a long and difficult job. Radio unit, center AC vents also will have to be removed. I saw it once and thought better. I ll try and remember where I found that vid.

 

Thanks cerbomark. I dont need to remove the entire console. But i need access to the cables for 12V. Im going to install rear seat entertainment for the kids. I did install that in the M550d, so now they are demanding it in this as well :-)
I dont like the look of the original screens in the early models, so im going for the same look as the 2017 ones. 10,6" touch screens. Not OEM, but the headsets are original porsche ones.

Hello Arne and congrats for your new purchase.
Your PTT looks pretty much the same as mine, except ceramic brakes.
Almost a twin from France (same color paint, interior seats, etc.). It looks well loaded to me. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
I didn't want to upgrade wheels as I didn't want to degrade confort but I went with rear wheels spacer for a more sporty stance.

 

I did the spacers on my 19 inch turbo wheels as well. It s not so much the diameter but those weak offsets that do not look very aggressive. Even on your 20 s the rears are in way too far IMO.
Still can t find a DIY on the console.

 

I have now did tuning of the panamera. Approx 600hp and 900Nm. Feels quite fast.
Also started to remove the chrome on the car. Have a big waiting list with carbon interior, wheels, spoilers etc

VAD design spoiler


Have bought a new 4s spoiler for the carbon wing( anyone want a turbo spoiler?)

Chrome liste around windows are gone. Next is to paint the small lists on the door handles

 

Tinted the front side windows as well. Gives it a more complete look i think.


Also got some carbon goodies that im currently installing. Scary to remove stuff from the car, when Im not sure how to do it.

 

Looks great !!! Wanna sell those silver fender vents ?

 

wow, blacking the chrome around the windows really makes a difference. Good Job

 

Nice additions the new carbon fiber parts look great!

 

I better hold on to them, so i have the chance to put it back to stock when the times come to sell it again. Not everybody loves carbon like i do. Also going to have a carbon lip( difficult to find to the turbo version), and a carbon bonnet.

 

Some more mods on the car. Carbon sidevents and smoked lights.
Also painted the chrome list on top of the handles.

VAD spoiler installed and programmed.

Carbon interior installed.















Teach`em young!!



So now Im only waiting for my 22" wheels. Going slow, but hopefully ill have them soon.

Looks great! What did you have to do to reprogram your car for non-turbo spoiler?

 

Wow nicely done. Car really looks great and I like your taste.

 

I went to a Porsche shop, and they fixed it. 5 min job.
