I was on Suncoast Parts browsing a few days ago when I saw they were selling (I don't remember exactly) either painted G2 key trim or touch up paint in Dolomite Silver. I emailed them and asked for picture of the items and they said the items aren't in stock, just ordered, however he added an extra piece of info (see email below):





I never heard of the Color Code M7P because the build sheet and config says something else. Maybe someone can take this info and find an accurate picture?

I inquired with a few dealers whose inventory showed a dolomite panamera. all of those cars were in transport and we'd probably see the color on a panamera sometime around late July, but it was described to me as more silver than rhodium, less 'blue' than rhodium, and more sparkly than rhodium. And it's obviously not quite a true silver like GT.

so for now, the best pic is probably the one where the sample is held up against a rhodium cayenne. here are a few more pics of the sample. i also have a pic of quartzite grey which might be coming to the panamera soon (all ready on the cayenne). let me know if you'd wanna see that as well.

The color sample looks very nice and quite similar to Mercedes’ Diamond Silver Metallic. Hopefully we will see some more pictures from dealers as we approach the middle to the end of July.

BTW, does anyone know the start of production date for 2019 Panamera 4S models? I have got a dealer that has provided a late July/early August allocation to us, but the model year is 18.

don't expect any 2019 production before March 2019: https://rennlist.com/forums/panamera...on-my2019.html

If your dealer has a confirmed production slot in July (which I doubt because if it is July, the spec is locked and he can't change it anymore) or August, then go for it. As of September, production is stopped/limited in all Porsche factories.

My friend's build slot was scheduled for end of May, mine for 3rd week of June. As we speak neither car has been produced. Just lots happening in the factory as we speak.

My build allocation is for August — lock date is July 26th, the build date is scheduled towards the end of August, and delivery date is November.

If I were to get a September allocation, or postpone the build date by a month, then do I get a 2019 model? If I am not mistaken, Porsche has already started the production of 2019 Cayenne.

I can only talk for builds for the European market but I assume it is the same for the US market:
1) Cayenne production will be on hold from September through to March. Anyone who orders a Cayenne today will have his car only produced in March. This was the status according to my SA 4 weeks ago when my colleague wanted to order the new Cayenne
2) As with the Cayenne, the Pananera is not exptected to be produced as of 1st September. First expected production is sometime in Q1 2019.
Porsche is currently switching the production of all models to meet the new WLTP emission standards. As of September, there will only be a selective 718 and 911 models available for production. Neither Cayenne nor Panamera shall be produced.

So if you have an August build slot, take it or risk waiting an extra 6 months.What I hear from my Sales Agent is that currently Porsche is producing lots of cars before 31st August and this was clearly evident on Friday when I picked up my car - the show room was packed with cars waiting for delivery.
