1K mile/2 month update
It has been 2 months and 1K mile (well almost with 993 miles) and I must say I am really enjoying the car. I was afraid it will not live up to the car I was replacing but again they are two different machines with different purposes. The car it replaced has 130 more HP and lighter than the E500 but the E500 will get you there in much more comfort.
Overall I am very happy with the E500. The only problem is the static and radio (Command/Instrument cluster was showing 2 different radio stations) but since the SW update last week, the car has been flawless. If I had to do it over again would I purchase the E500...the answer is a definite "Yes" (well...I might consider a E55 next time
) Can't wait to get the new rims and subwoofer!

I was told the new Software Update will cure the static during startup.

I think that the dealer should do it without any hassles. BTW, that must set a new speed record for service. Most dealers in my area will probably want the car for about 2-5 days to perform service on it.
