In non SPASM cars with Sport Chrono Plus is the suspension settings also linked to the Sport button?

Changing the PCM language, if you don't read the current language could be a bit daunting. I was fooling around with mine and put it in German - wanted to hear the voice, and was lucky to take note of how to get back to the right place to restore English - and I know just enough German to be dangerous.
I'm guessing if I got into an unfamiliar car and had to change the setup to English, it might take some work.

Nearly every single time, the manufacturer puts a window sticker in the glove box (or e-mails a PDF over with the vehicle's options). However, this was a unique situation where an American was picking up a German press car. I was met at the airport by a very nice gentleman who didn't speak a drop of English (well, he did say "hello" pretty well). The owner's manual was in German, as was everything else in the car. I e-mailed my contacts at Porsche, but I never heard back. My USA contacts are excellent, but they couldn't help me either.
One more thing... most press cars are brand new (<4,000 miles), so this was a bit older than what we normally get (most automaker's want to ensure their cars don't rattle and everything appears fresh). Kudos to Porsche build quality, as the car was rock solid.
My favorite picture was taken in downtown Munich, near city center. I crouched down and snapped this in low light, so the shutter was open a bit longer than normal, but it captured the blur of the guy walking by and checking out the car:

Here's mine, with Sport Pasm (-20mm) on a similar profile. Looks like yours has the same ride height, therefore, well you be the judge.

There other nuances there too, but I refrain to comment as people in this forum get heated up about that and deny what they are not able to feel.

I have heard that the "Sport" option for PASM is a NA-exclusive option. In other words, RoW cars come equipped as standard with the lower ride height. Just what I have heard...
Would be interesting if someone could confirm this.

Next time I suggest you open the Owners Manual. There you may find a sticker with the original car options...

In Europe you have two suspensions on the 997.2S (PASM and SPASM), as in the US. For the 997.1S, SPASM was not available in the US, but available in the EU. I do not know what is offered elsewhere, other than those 2 regions.
