Very nice car, wish I had one of these but the maintenance would be too much.
Off topic question, but does the spare tire actually fit over the brakes? I think you're supposed to have a minimum of 19" tires, and I believe the spare is 18". Asking because I am thinking of upgrading to R63 brakes.

It's probably more fun than removing the valve cover gaskets 4 times in as many months, lol. Elring leaked, MB OEM leaked, finally Elring with Permatex blue sealant no longer leaks.
I would carry a tire plug kit but want the comfort of a spare for the situations where a plug wouldn't work. Don't want to be stranded while towing a boat.
