In the to image one can see the lug bolts. There are no lug nuts.
I think you are looking at the wrong post. In post 311 with pics of an E1 you can clearly see the lug bolts are not visible and must be under the cap that says Edition 1.
That's a nice design feature!!! And I was just asking it more to the point if it had a center wheel nut like F1 or if it was a standard 5 lug bolt design...

The US made single bolt wheels (knock off hubs) illegal for consumer type vehicles in 1968.
There a a few exceptions to the prohibitions such as street legal race cars such as offered by Porsche and BMW. Those wheels must still meet all of the safety standards.
Current Status in the U.S.
As of now, center lock wheels are not widely available for street-legal vehicles in the U.S. market. While some manufacturers, like Porsche, offer center lock wheels on specific models, these are typically not available for general sale in the U.S. BMW has also introduced center lock wheels for its M models, but they are currently not sold in the U.S. market.
I think they’re still legal - Porsche GT3RS has centerlocks. You might be taking about the ones with like wings that protrude.
Correct. 'Knock-offs' were regulated out. But single, center-locking wheels have been available on street cars continuously since then from Jaguar, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, McLaren, etc. The AMG design attempts to replicate the look.

Any idea on the stats of summer tires vs. all-seasons? I made sure to specify the A/S’s because my original build sheet defaulted with summer tires and I live in an area with four seasons.
I think MB uses Michelin Pilot Sport A/S4’s which are what I have on my car currently and I love them…

Based on WIS and 1 VIN I found with the all seasons, this is correct. They are a terrific tire. We've had 2 sets on our Volvo XC60 T8 -- much better than the Pirelli stock tires. I replaced those at 200km.
I have Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4s on my 2025 E450 All-Terrain. I also had it on my prior 2022 All-Terrain. Till date, I have had it on around 4 different cars. Excellent tires, with exceptional dry and wet grip, and good grip in light snow.

Can confirm I have PS4 AS on my car with the RTP Rims and all season tires from factory.
@wdimagineer is that a leather stitched airbag center? Was that an option in EU or was that aftermarket?
Great that yours made it stateside safely also
Thank you! It is leather with stitching. The car was built with it. It is not a configurable option for standard cars; it is only available for internal orders. That's what my car was until it was allocated to me.

Love the nautical blue. I'd love to see pictures as everyone gets their delivered. Looks like I am going to have to wait until next year as CA isn't getting any that aren't black interior
