not enough power and it needs more coolers for the car to be able to be tracked during the hot seasons. Could have 285s or more in the rear. Carbon bits should be standard in the season.

I don't really dislike anything but things could have been added.
Lexus has doors that automatically close if they are slightly ajar. These are super handy.
Keyless entry for US versions.
Carbon bits standard as well
Launch control
Comfort suspension modes (although I would always be in the max sport mode anyway)

Door pins digging into arm, turn signal switch location is reversed with cruise control, learning tranny, learning gas throttle (all fixable by MHP!), and the number one dumbas$ thing they did - WHITE primer on a BLACK car. Ask me how I know!? (UGH).

Wait a minute, are you serious? The bluetooth doesn't automatically read the contacts list on the phone? I've discovered a lot of differences in the way our cars' bluetooth works depending on the brand (or even the model) of cell phone that we use. By and large, my Motorolas have performed the worst when paired with any of my bluetooth-enabled cars, but the only positive experience I've had with the Motorolas is that the phone's ringtone is what gets played over the car's speakers when there's an incoming call.

With the Sony Ericssons, only the first 500 entries from the phone's contact list were picked up by the car, but connectivity was good.

With the Blackberrys, the phone book was scanned by the car very rapidly, but still it was not possible to read all the numbers from the contacts list.

Only with the iPhone 3G has my cars been able to read the contacts list in its entirety.

Sorry if this is off-topic, but I thought maybe the problem you've encountered with the bluetooth connectivity is possibly arising from the phone rather than the car.

Try looking under the suspension at the plastic clamshells on the rear control arms. Totally disgusting, however, apparently great for the German snow covered autobahn, keeping the contamination off the components. They will be one of the first things I strip off the vehicle.

In general I am impressed by design of a driver’s place and how Mercedes pays attention to it. Small discomforts:
- Could not find the way to show the current date, I usually log my trips.
- I would prefer to lower the steering wheel, but it easily blocks warning and turning lights on a dashboard at the top.
- Show the digital speed all the time. Speedometer is designed for high numbers and it is not granular enough.
- At the beginning I had impression that sits were little bit tight below arms. Now I got used to it. More adjustments for side support?
- Bigger gas tank
- I could not find how to disable sensor door buttons. It is little bit tricky to wash the car.

AM radio reception sucks.

I like to listen to sports radio on the ride to and from work, 99% of the time it is impossible to even hear.

At least the satellite radio gets me all the Rock and Metal I can ask for.

1- Suction doors (My 745i had it and honestly I loved that feature) Doors closing by themselves when they aren't properly shut! That's just awesome..
2- No Parktronic or some sort of a standard rear video view for tight spaces
3- Annoying Amber Bumper Reflectors
4- Options on Performance Package

For Euro Version:

1. Bumpy ride, should have controlable suspension.
2. Leather on the thigh area too soft
3. Oil temp too hot
4. Conti - suicidal tires (highly recommend the Toyo RE888 tires)
5. Should let us the choice to upgrade to the F1 Safety car Ecu or the E63 or SL63 ECU


Why the hell de-tune the engine, when SL gets way over 500hp!

They de-tuned the engine for 1 simple reason...so guys who pay $150k+ for an SL63/E63/S63 don't have a slower car than you. You have the same engine that is in the CLK63, but pulled back from 475 to 451.

AMG & RR
Beats M3s in a straight line too easily!

Its a shame, really....just joking lol

Back to seriousness:

1. MONTHLY PAYMENTS
2. No AMG 19s in USA
3. Can't Watch Sarah Palin on SNL as I drive and some other stuff
4. No Key Less Entry/Go
5. No Interior/ Exterior CF options when buying

Still worth it though!

The fact that it isn't where I want it to be....namely here with me instead of somewhere on the production line!
