In the past, this was only a European option on the S class, and the first I've seen it offered state side by mbusa.
Also, would be cool if it would fit the W221, or installed later in a w222 after the fact. Before this, the unit could only be imported and was over double the cost.

I've asked somewhere else if anybody could test the W222 fridge on a W221 or vice versa. I'd like to know if my 221 fridge fits to a W222. The W222 fridge dimensions look very much the same. The main difference is that the flap at the trunk opens to the opposite side and the power plug is on the opposite side compared to a W221. These should not prevent compatibility, the power harness might need an extension but no big deal.

Do people flip when they see it? And have you used it yet?
That's a good question. I'm also wondering if that 222 fridge would work in a 221 
At least now it is cheaper in the US, 1309 Euros according to the German price list.

Kratos-TM, I figured it was removable based on the fridge option for the previous gen Euro S-class model. I will say that some of the pictures of the trunks I've seen seem to show an opening where the fridge would go. I can't really confirm as I've haven't seen too many of them but you may be able to buy it and fit it after the fact.
Just wait till your S-class shows up and take a peek. Or maybe some of the other owners can speak to it.

I would assume that it would not be too difficult to retrofit the door for the ski bag (and the fridge).

Has the refrigerator proved useful>
I am looking to add the refrigerator option to my S550 order. Please tell me whether your's proved useful over the long run. Was it used much? Does it keep thing cold or just cool (below room temp)? Has it broken down?
Thanks for your consideration.

It is my dream luxury car, my other special car is a Ferrari.
A 'fridge works by pumping heat out of a closed box. That heat has to go somewhere, and the trunk is where this 'fridge dumps its heat.
No, its not a problem, but it is detectable when the trunk is opened.
As a daily driver, it gets practically zero use.
As a long distance mileage destroyer, it gets plenty of use.
Could you elaborate on the heat issue, is it a problem?

Also, do you find the fridge gets much use?

Anyone considering the fridge might want to read the complete retrofit guide for a W221 that did not have the ski-bag:
https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w...ferrerid=60539
Obviously the 222 may not be the same, I have not had a look but I would expect it to be very very similar, just needs W222 specific parts.
Before this referred thread I thought the retrofit task would be too big on a car that did not have the ski-bag option. It isn't any minor task but the thread proves it is nothing like impossible.
