It's here!

Finally arrived yesterday! Obsidian Black/Charcoal, Nav, Sat, Parktronic, 19" wheels, active seats, sunshade, hi-gloss laurel, xenon, keyless go & trunk closer. The handling is head and shoulders above the E55. The sat antenna is smaller than I expected and it is painted body color....hardly noticeable at all.

I am so glad I made the change from the E55. This car is so much better looking and is a real head turn.

Strange thing...I was expecting AMG floor mats (says so on the window sticker), but the mats look like standard issue MB. Sure I can get the right ones. I am a happy camper!

Pics after my detailer gets ahold of her (Saturday most likely). The laurel wood was a great move in retrospect. It is almost black and goes very well with the charcoal interior. The black Alcantara headliner is what the E55 should have had....a huge improvement!!!
