Hey Chucky, your awesome drive looks like Iridium Silver...what color is the interior? I like it so much, just ordered a 2015 Iridium Silver with the crystal gray/ sea shell gray exclusive napa with metallised ash trim. Sport plus 1 to get the multi spoke wheels. It will be my Florida ride.

No time for composing any good shots, just a few quick snaps in the garage. Love this car.

Yup! Iridium Silver. Interior is Nappa Leather. Will photograph it tomorrow! Back Seats have the power seats, and TVs too. Fantastic car.

Perhaps a bit off topic to discuss this here but on my laptop screen Chucky's car looks very much like Diamond silver and I know how iridium looks for real (we have two iridium cars in the family). Just makes it very difficult to decide on colours based on photos (even high quality ones as above) from the forum. I wonder if my screen needs calibration.

Been after the diamond silver exterior but now that the grey interior became available, it could be a conservative (I want it to be relatively neutral) choice with magnetite black.

yah I know what you mean. From the side it looks like a neutral silver, but from the hood pics it's reflecting the sky so it looks more blueish. You have to see these colors in full sun at the dealer to make any choice.

Chucky, your interior shots cannot be downloaded. Maybe it's my computer, but I doubted.

As an aside, viewing the gorgeous photos posted here, I think you guys will be disappointed with my standard wheels. I am not so much into the sporty wheel look and I wanted the most comfortable ride. Therefore, I could not justify spending an extra $6,650 for the sport wheels. That option is not important to me.

Shows up on my browser. I am using Google Chrome.

I think Mercedes "Standard" wheels are beautiful. No one would be disappointed in your choice.

Whenever I hit a bump - i question why I bought the 20" wheels

This is strange. I was using Safari and could not download the photos. I just tried Chrome and still no luck. I'm clueless.

Same here Chucky, the pictures won't download on my iPad. Suspect you have a black interior, but I need to go lighter in southwest Florida. Still, would love to see it!

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful. It just so happens that you and I have the same exterior and interior colors.

Beantrader, you did the right thing with the wheels. I'm starting to hate these 20" runflats with a passion. Really degrades the ride A LOT!

Chucky, your interior is beautiful!

I love the look of the 20" wheels, but we really like the 19" wheels better and would love to trade or swap for a set of the 19" double 5 spoke wheels. I assume with more rubber height they would ride a little better while still looking nice.

Same. You are feeling the harshness right? It's not a smooth luxury barge with these wheels.

You feel every pothole, or road imperfection right?

Man, it's a harsh ride. I've been really feeling it (on every single bump), and am growing a distaste as it worstens. I'm not happy to give people a tour ride at all, just rides like a horse cart.

I'm gonna do something about it.....but I just don't know what I want to do yet....

Well, Here are our options...to be honest, I am not really in love with anything here. The 19" AMG look alright but If a switch to ride softness is what we want, we'd be doing it half assed if we went that route. What do you think?
