I ordered the white with charcoal for a few reasons.

1st. It looks Phoenominal and its looks clean even when its dirty from a distance (not that mine will ever get dirty, except for a puddle!!)

2nd. You hardly ever see them in White (the E55 that is) and most of the other colors everyone else has so your a little more distinctive (I am always getting compliments on my Platinum Blue E500 and you dont see many of them.

3rd. Should you ever have the need for a paint repair, Its hard to mess up a color match or too much clear coat or showing any peel.

Go For it!!

I have been told to expect mine mid February!! Cant wait

WOW nice cars Kev

I love Porsche. I just put a deposit down for a 2007 997 Turbo. I am #4 on the list at my local Porsche dealer. He told me it should have over 500HP. The new 997 Turbo is due out end of 2006 as a 2007 model.

Best Wishes,
MBH

My Color Choice

Since I am going to keep this car at my home in Las Vegas, I have opted for a very light color scheme (black in 115 degree sun gets a wee bit warm!).

Accordingly -- and this may be unique, I am getting mine in Pewter with whatever beige-like leather (most likely Stone) is available.

go charcoal, it will contrast better with the white and i think looks classier. the ash does not look as nice, especially next to either of the wood choices. if you lived in florida or somewere with a lot of sun and heat, u may want to consider the ash, but looks like youre in NY so u only have to worry about summer, and with the active ventilated seats, who cares!

enjoy!!

Tired of black daily driver and every MB is either silver or black in my town. So I ordered Alabaster white/black/laurel.

I'm thinking of going with chrome 19" amgs. Fletcher Jones (newport beach ca.) gets 4 cars a month and I'm 6th on the list, so I should see the car in April. First deliveries are in March and I could get one then if I wanted iridium silver.

After seeing this car at Brabas in person, all I can say is they nailed the design.
