The Iridium silver will be nicely hardened. All the glue will be firmly set. The gaskets will get nicely formed and mated. It's much better off than if it were covered in two feet of snow.

Make it 240 days and counting. Still sitting at the VPC.

If it weren't the best car ever made, I'd tell MB to shove it and get something else, but alas, there's the rub!

AMG SLS & S coupe
Magic Sky

About ten or fifteen years ago or thereabouts I had a Bimmer X5. Parked at a restaurant and left the top open. Not a cloud in the sky. During desert, I started to hear heavy rain being blown on the restaurant windows.

The interior was soaked. the carpet of course was the wettest. The leather seats were no problem.

No more opening tops for me. It took a shop vac and about two days with the doors open for it to dry out. The car was only a month old.

Get the coupe and forget the sliding glass top.

What I'd like to know is what's so important that it couldn't be corrected with a recall instead of delaying delivery by over 6 weeks.

The headlamps are being replaced by the dealer.

S63amg coupe
Thanks to all for advice ... so my car finally came in and I'm picking it up in a few days. I went with the following

- designo diamond white metallic
- designo black leather exclusive package
- AMG carbon fibre/piano black lacquer trim
- AMG performance steering wheel
- magic sky control
- night view assist
- swarovski crystal LED headlights
- AMG exterior carbon trim
- Brumester high-end surround sound system
- air balance package

Here's a pick of it on the truck!

Great Q... so it looks like different set of standard/optional features here vs in US... Heated Windshield is standard, as a red-painted callipers and driver assistance package... Looks like more standard stuff here.

Altho to be honest, I'm not planning on driving my S in the winter/snow... that's why I have an X5M!

What's your configuration?
