W221 S500
Smile Hello from Germany, my first Mercedes-Benz

Hello everyone

although I'm a fan of the BMW 5 series, due to the crappy car market I decided against a new BMW and bought a 2011 W221 S500 4-Matic.
This is my first Mercedes and at the same time my first car from the upper class category.

I'll pick up the car next week and I'm already looking forward to picking it up.

There are a few smaller construction sites on the S500 that I can gradually, hopefully, take care of myself. I have already bought an SD C4 system and will gradually familiarize myself with Xentry/DAS and DTS Monaco.

I don't have 2 left hands, but I'm not a real mechanic either. So excuse my upcoming questions in advance.
I'm also interested in technical frills, so the first thing I plan to do is replace the old-fashioned multimedia system with an Android system.

Welcome,
You are lucky you get to drive your car at the speeds it was designed for!

Thanks guys, photos will follow in the next week.
But don't expect anything special. It's just a normal W221 (facelift) with an AMG package on the outside in black.
