Hi All, Delighted to pick up my Macan S Friday but unfortunately I’ve already experienced a couple of hopefully small issues, oil level warning light came on too high, I was parked on a slope however the next day it cleared but then came on again, then level too low and then too high again? The other issue is vibration at over 70mph, I’m convinced this is just wheel balancing. I’ll be calling the dealer tomorrow to let them know. Sadly it took the shine off what should’ve been a great weekend of owning my first Porsche. But on a positive note, I absolutely love the car and these things happen sometimes, I look forward to sharing some more positive posts with you all.

Welcome, what's a "Hamann pack"? Not heard that one before in 4 years of Macanning. :D

Hi Neil,
I think it's just a reference to the manufacturer of the wheels.

Most of us stick with genuine Porsche wheels which probably explains why you (and I) have not heard of them before.

It is not just that it has different wheels, it has the wheel arch extensions.

Did the Op buy it from an Indy?

Cannot see any OPC selling a modified car.

Have to say, I’m not a fan of the wheel arch extensions. Looks a bit Yanni !

But each to their own.

If the vibration only appears over 70mph you should be fine in the UK :p
