My New S550

I ordered a S550 back in late October and was supposed to take delivery in late April. Financing fell through at the last minute. I got a great deal at another dealer and took possession today. It had all of the options that my ordered car had plus heads-up display. The trackpad will take some time to get used to. Had to drive an extra 50 miles, but the ride back was terrific. I managed to snap a few pictures! More to follow after a good detailing.

lol at the HUD has the ...as it doesn't have room to spell out everything. Looks great! Are there any changes from 2014-15 besides HUD and the track pad?

Wow! Gorgeous looking car. I'm a bit upset that the 2014 S550 did not come with the HUD. But, I'll live without it I guess.

Could you please show us a few close up photos of the track pad? I don't even know what that looks like or exactly what it does. Thanks.

The Air Balance Package is standard. There is one sport package and you need to order the 20 inch AMG rim separately in the USA. Otherwise the models are the same.

Here are closeup pictures that I just took. It replaces the cover and the number pad in the 2014 S.

Ok, thanks Golden. Now this makes a lot of sense. I don't think I have ever used the number pad. It's pretty useless in my opinion. This trackpad in its place is MUCH more practical.

Is your console different than standard?

Look at this picture - where the ECO button is - yours has an A with a circle around it. This car also has Air Suspension.

The ECO button is re-labeled for 2015. My Porsche has the same symbol for the auto off/on.

Chucky, how did you get those "favorite functions" to show up like that on the display? Is it under settings? I have never seen that on my display, but it may be because I have not investigated it enough.

Having the @ for auto start up makes more sense than ECO. ECO tends to mean ECO mode instead

What package does the surround view camera come in? It isn't labeled with a price on your spec sheet

Usually get white or black as my color choice for cars; the only compromise is my SL roadster is silver! LOL
