I've spent hours trying to educate myself on available options for the 2010 Turbo as I'm looking at purchasing one. I've found some helpful posts that are similar to mine but didn't answer all of my questions.

I know to look for Sports Chrono but I'm confused if there's a Chrono Plus as well. Or if that was only 2011+

Burmester vs Bose. Is there any way by looking at interior pics to tell which system is installed? Often sellers don't disclose this info.

I'm really confused on PASM vs PDCC vs PTV Plus. I think you need PASM to get PDCC? But I've read differing info as to whether PASM is standard or an option on the Turbo.

Any other recommended options I've missed?

I think what would help is a webpage for the 2010 Turbo that lists all standard items plus option packages, but I haven't found one.

Thanks for the help.

Really? I joined rennlist in 2005 but this is my first post? Wow, I've been kicking Porsche tires for a decade . Went with NSX then M3 after the kids were born but I think it's time for a Porsche in my life now.

Only sport chrono was offered on 2010.
PDCC was optional.
Burmiester system can be identified by the polished bezel around the front door speakers. The name "Burmiester" is engraved in the bezel.

I drove several 2010 Panamera S's before buying mine new. The difference between the standard Suspension and the Air Suspension option was huge IMHO. The difference in handling precision was apparent even as I drove down the Dealer's Driveway. Previous models were Meh - good but not great.
Of course Sports Chrono is also essential. After 7 years, it is still a delight to drive and I often drive it in preference to my '15 TTS and my '14 E63S. Reading Reviews, I've noted that the reviewers who review the Air Suspension cars also are far more enthusiastic about the Air Suspension handling. I also find that
the Air suspension is an adequate substitute for the PDCC I have in my TTS and had in my 911 S. I also like
the multi-function wheel with its control functions and Shift buttons in my PanS to the PDK Sport wheel paddles lacking those functions in my TTS and GT3. At the present low market prices of the 2010 Pan S,
they are a steal.
