Mine has been noticed twice. My neighbor across the street, who I never took for a "car guy", knew exactly what it was, and we had a good talk about it. And a guy in a really nice mid-60s Le Mans complimented me on it last night. Aside from that, I think it's pretty much invisible. And I'm OK with that... especially if it extends to State Patrol cars. I dind't buy the thing to impress anyone.

Update.
Made the decision and bought the car, a nicely equipped Iridium Silver S63 and found a guy to take over the lease on my Bentley.
Very happy with that, car will be ready in 2 weeks, they need to still do some work on it, transfer Laser and Radar sensors from the Supersports, wrap the car with a clear Matte, tint the windows and do Renntech mods (downpipes, ECU).
Not sure yet whether I should upgrade the turbos, have to think about that a bit more.
Drove home today in a loaner they gave me in the meantime, a brand new S560, I am blown away how much improved and even more refined it is vs the 2017 S550 (rented one last year in LA).
It's like being on a cloud, I believe now in those claims saying that driving an S-Class reduces stress and lowers the heart beat vs other cars in that category.
To all here owning this amazing car I offer my sincere congratulations, you have the best car in the World, IMO.

Brought up an important point which made me think. Did a week of commuting in A class, the rides seem much shorter (50mile round trip) and I noticed I’m far less stressed.

You're the guy who bought the s63 from Naperville?!? (I've been watching it on Autotrader for a bit!)

Congrats!

Does Renntech have stuff for the new engine and tranny's yet? I'm assuming its a 2018 as you said changes?

Did you ask him he knew the difference between a cactus and a BMW?

Same as the different between a Porsche and a porcupine.

Bought it from Knauz who got it from Naperville, since they had the car with options I wanted.
Car will be ready in 2 weeks, will post some pics after delivery, I am really enjoying the S560 in the meantime.
The new matte clear wrap (to maintain original color) should be interesting, I am still on the fence whether I should get the lowering module from Renntech (I'm not looking for a ride deterioration, otherwise I would save a lot of $$ and just get an E63)
