XM Radio
Comfort Package
Heated Anthr Birch steering wheel
Heated seats
Bose
PCM
Park assist
Xenon

Just wish it had full leather. Can't wait.

Ugh. I'm going in to order my Turbo tomorrow and I still don't know what wood trim I prefer. I love the look of the Anthracite birch but I don't know if it will make the interior too dark.

The transmission on the 11 S shifts so much sweeter than my
06S yet the indicator on the dash was slow to reflect the gear change
during my test drive yesterday. As Rome mentioned, the all leather
interior really enhances the appearance and the rest of the interior
is a major upgrade. Porsche, however, could of spent a few more bucks
to improve the Bose enhanced sound system. It sounds just ok. Hey Rome,
go for the 19 inch rims since the vehicle is so fricken expensive anyway.

They did, it's called Burmeister. It's been discussed and reviewed in the Panamera forum, not mentioned much here.

Thanks. That's a lot of cash for an upgraded sound system.

Congrats on your order! Down here in the south, just the thought of black on black is making me sweaty. Those ventilated seats will really come in handy.

I'm not sure, but I think it's going to look good. If you don't order wood, it comes with a black piano style panels. So that would be even darker. I didn't order it, it's just what's on the way and one I hope to be happy with.

The olive wood is beautiful (if you like wood) but it's pricey-- $2400 (w/o the wheel). If you like anthracite, I'm sure this will be nice. personally, it's not my cup of tea.

Not compared to what a Burmester home unit costs. I heard it and it sounds great, but not for 5 g's to my ear as compared to Bose.

I didn't order the vent seats, but I tested the,. They are really quite nice, but not for an additional $850.

Bose Audio Package
Bose Surround Sound System
CD/DVD Changer
XM Satellite Radio
$2,160 MSRP separately $3,090

Convenience Package
Bi-Xenon Headlights incl PDLS
Front Seat Heating
Auto Dimming Mirrors
PCM incl Navigation Module
$4,520 MSRP separately $ 6,450

Premium Package ( includes convenience package )
PASM
14-way Power Seats with memory package
Park Assist front and rear
Steering Wheel Heating
$7,790 MSRP separately $11,120

Premium Package Plus ( includes premium package )
Air Suspension
Lane Change Assist
Rearview Camera
Power Rear Side Sunscreen
Light Comfort Package
Seat Heating front and rear
Seat Ventilation front
$11,650 MSRP separately $16,640

I am trying to get clarity from my dealer on packages as they are ordering launch cars and do not seem aware of these packages. When I go online to configure, the premium package does not include the convenience items of navigation and PDLS. Anyone know if the above is valid and what are the codes.

Is the Burmester $5k? I was just building a turbo to spec and it was in the $3k range. Is it more for the S? IIRC it is $15k on the panamera.

I honestly find their home equipment overly pricey for what it is. For the cost of their amp I can build you a home system that sounds just as good as a complete Burmester system. Nice equipment good sound and fancy looking but not tops IMO for home systems and about 60% overpriced.

How much faster did the S feel over your previous S? I was thinking in taking a HP drop and going with an S instead this time around. I also was curious why you didn't go with the PDCC?

I like the Anthracite interior on black was thinking of going in that direction.

BTW thanks for the package info.
