Engine control malfunction
so 4/14 I got the warning twice. Both times it came back as 5/6 misfire. Fast forward to this week. It happened again with the same diagnosis.
Car is now at dealership. They're talking to Germany since this fault has never been recorded by any Porsche dealership.
Anyone ever hear of this or an idea?

Earlier in the month I had the same error. It came on right after starting the car (engine still warm). Drove home and parked the car in the garage. Next morning same error again.
I was still burning through my winter tank of gas with stabilizer and had a 1/2 tank left. Filled up the car (93) and error immediately went away.

I just had mine in the shop and also had the panamera hybrid as a loaner. My god that car was awful. It reminded me of a crown Vic in but wasn't particularly comfortable.

Sheesh, Panamera and Crown Vic? Grunty, aren't you being too harsh to Panamera?
All Panamera-owners I know have attested that Panamera is the best sporty sedan that exists, better than any of BMW M's and Mercedes AMG's. Of course, Panamera won't feel as sporty as 911 or Cayman. It's still a sedan. Yet the sportiest sedan, nonetheless.

Not to hijack this thread, but I too used to think that the Panamera was a pig.
BUT, just returned from a vacation in Germany/ Switzerland and our rental was a new Panamera GTS. I had a blast with this pig!! Very comfortable and stable at 150mph, but still a blast on the twisties with all sport settings activated.
A V8 with PSE is an awesome sound!!
