I took a bath on the sport turismo and now drive an M8 gran coupe - the driving experience is better (I'm not talking about around a track) and the vehicle still feels special. I would argue that other people tend to think of Porsche's as more special then BMW's but I don't care what others think. I don't think you'll regret the switch

That's my feedback regarding the transmission too. I don't know how to describe it but the shifts just seem off. I was fortunate that I was able to get more than what I paid for the Sport Turismo but I know the depreciation on the Panamera is steep. The wagon while being unique just feels heavy / bulky almost like it's a cross over.
