Congrats on the new ride. I hope you will love yours as much as I love mine. The E550 is just awesome or as my service advisor says "that car is a beast"

Hopefully will, so far seems nice. Taking it easy for a while, as hard as that might be. Will see if feels as fast as the M56 I had.

Thanks folks!

Fine to be a noob, airmatic is optional on the 550. But not available on the 350. 4 Matic is standard on the 550, so air matic can be combined.

Agreed - mine is Palladium Silver and have 4400 miles on it. Did the Euro delivery and received it in October. Just had the ECU "tuned" so it now has 590 Ft Lbs of torque and about 525 HP (470 on dyno). Its a great car!

I am loving mine too - I think that will be a car that I will not want to change in a long time. It is a definite keeper .

Yeah, stinks that V8s are not much favored in today's environment.

Appreciate the comments/compliments!

Good to hear from satisfied owners.
