SI
I love the second picture. You can clearly see the aggressiveness of the wide body. Thanks for posting. More pictures please.....
here are 1st set of photos. Event start on Sunday so most of the crew from Germany is arriving today or tomorrow. Bernd Schneider is one of the drivers giving taxi rides. There are 5 cars here. Weather here today was terrible with lots of rain. Will post updated photos and vids later.

awesome pics, thanks Harrower--I always love your posts!
I agree about blacking out the chrome window trim, it looks so out of place in chrome on this car.
And I just can't get over the ricer wing either--I know its functional, but I'd rather have an integrated wing like the SL65 or Panamera Turbos, etc.
It looks like you'd have holes to fill on that trunk lid if it was removed, I'm sure someone will make a CF trunk lid with a monster lip (a la CSL trunk).
Anyway, the cars look great and I can't imagine seeing one of these flying up in your rear view mirror--nothing screams get the fu<k out of the way like that front end, especially the track pack cars!

Those cars with the large wing are equipped with the Aero Pack, the track package comes with the rear differential cooler along with the Dunlop sport tires made purposely for the BS....the Aero pack has the large rear wing, the split front lip spoiler and the winglets on the front bumper.....if you order the Aero pack you cannot get the rear seats, some of us have ordered the car with the rear seats and the track package only, hence the car comes with the lip rear spoiler only.
Dave your are satisfying many of us with these pics....if you can get some video of the BS on the track we would be forever grateful to you!

Those pics are AWESOME. I'd definitely go for the yellow - love the contrast it creates with the aero package. Could you snap a pic of the new ML63? I'm planning on trading my GL for a 2012(3) ML63. Thanks as always for the pics!!!
Thanks for posting. Love the white one but that canary one is mean too!

Thanks Dave again!! That short first video, it sounds likes the car chirped its tires going into the next gear, the car does sound louder than the other same equipped vehicles....cant wait to get your impressions of the car after the seat time, you certainly do have lots of AMG track experience. BTW, that is a stunning Helmet, way to be proud of our Canada....do you have an opinion of what the car sounds like on the track from the outside??
