Mine is a 4matic and living in New Jersey I need all season tires. The options there seem to be pretty limited. Maybe the Contis are the best bet. I don't know if they still make the Michelin Pilot A/S.

Hi FTB
From your photos, I do not see any orange glare from the turn signal indicator. I really like the clean euro look.
Have you replaced them with the chrome bulbs?
Do you have the LED turning signal with the P2 or oramge light bulb with the P1?
Thanks.

I went with the smoked lenses, they have the amber bulbs inside so when their on they show the legal color.

It seems you have a P2, so I'm guessing just the angling is the reason as to why we don't see that amber glare coming from up there.
I think it's awesome that we have LED indicator lights, but the downside is, it makes it almost impossible to eliminate that little glare we get in certain lighting. Why couldn't M-B just use clear colored LED's that light up in orange?
. Looks great, ftb. Grats!

I had the tune done by OE Tuning (Jeremy), he did a great job. The car clearly has a lot more torque through the lower speeds and it pulls a lot stronger through gears, so I'm very satisfied. I just got an email from Jeremy that he enhanced the tune so now I just have to decide if I'm going to drive to LA or mail him the ECU. I felt it was well worth it.

Well you know what they say taking care of a black car is a part time job.
The wheels are 20x9 and 10.5, I used 245x35's in the front and 285x30's in the back. The shop that did my wheels does a lot of the high end cars in Silicon Valley and I didn't want to have the front and rear side walls out of perspective nor did we want too low of profile. I posted this before but the car rides excellent IMO and the handling is more enjoyable for me.
