Low most of the time but i go in Off Road quite a bit too; even when just pulling off the lane to let cars past.

Sometimes it's a pity we can't get as much height as the old Citroen DS.

Even so I note that the suspension settles even lower on exiting the car. I wish it would do it before exiting.

Whilst I’m having a gripe: I wish the passenger mirror would not stay in the reversing position quite so long as well. It makes seeing the approaching traffic on a one way street when pulling out from a drivers side parking place a bit tricky.
If you press the driver door mirror button in the door console (the right hand one), it brings the passenger mirror back up to normal level immediately. You can use this to prevent he mirror dropping on occasion or to bring it back up sooner than it otherwise would do.

I usually drive my Panamera on its lowest suspension setting & in Sport Plus chassis mode.

The drive mode is often in Sport, but I tend to use normal/economy drive mode when cruising on the motorway, where coasting often comes in handy to improve fuel consumption a little.

Air suspension low, drive in sport, suspension in sport nearly all the time.
As per Wing Commander, drive occasionally goes into normal mode only when motorway driving or when car is cold
