Traded my E320 for a S430
Well guys...what can I say. Nothing but R Class enthusiasm for the past year and today I buy an S430...
Here is a shot I took just after taking delivery and home in the driveway. The URL is of some additional shots. Will miss the great guys on this forum but will check in every so often to see what is going on.

Nice car, look like you got pretty much every options (AMG, keyless-go, bi-xenon).
Why not going for the S500 ? 260hp is a bit stress for that much W220 body mass ?
Gorgegous car & nice color. Congrat.

Did not have the bi-xenon lights..:-( Almost broke the deal, they are standard on the 500, but optional on the 430. The 275HP is plenty for me...drove it more today and have no problems with it. Just did not feel the stretch to the 500 was worth it for me.

Love the colors...inside and out IMO the AMG kit looks best in white
Are you going to do any mods to it? Like put some exhausts on it? Kinda looks like something is missing from the back without them......but that's JMO.

I'm not a "mod" guy but you are right on the exhaust. I thought there would be chrome extensions (didn't phase me when I bought the car) but checked my pictures I shot the first day and noticed none. Maybe I will look into that after I get comfortable with things. I do want to add the Wood Wheel which I had on my E. It really adds to the interior.

Yes, a wood steering wheel and wood shift knob is all you need...maybe some sports pedals as well.....that's all your S needs
