Confused, what automatic is going on 2004 S600
Was just sent fax by my dealer the 2004 S series ordering guide. Only thing I can't make out is transmission: it says 7 speed standard on 430 and 500....but not on 4-Matic, makes no mention of what tranny is on 55 and 600???

Thanks, MercManiac. I thought the new sound system was supposed to be better than the E-class'. Bose just cannot compete with Harman Kardon's Logic 7 system.
Oh well, I hope the 5.1 upgrade actually makes a difference.

2004 S 600
Late September.
I actually prefer the sound of the Bose system over the Harmon Kardon.....a friend has the new E500 and the stereo IMO just doesn't have the mid range like the Bose.
Also, S has Sirius sattelite option now. The NAV is DVD based. Tire pressure monitoring is now standard on all S models. Keyless Go is now integrated into Smartkey.

I heard the Harman Kardon Logic 7 system in a BMW 745i and it was the best system I've ever heard in my life. I guess the ergonomics of the E-Class degrade the sound quality.
As far as Bose with its 5.1 decoding, do you know if it'll have the option to convert regular stereo CD's to 5 channels? I read on the Bose website that they have this feature that makes any input 5.1. I'm just wondering if it'll be on US spec'ed cars.

MercManiac,
Are you taking delivery of your 04 S600 in late September? Any performance tuning planned?
I was supposed to take delivery of my S55 at the end of this month but my dealer just told me it will be here in October. I'm thinking about cancelling the order and going for an 04 S600 (thanks to Treynor's inspirational performance posts). Have you placed your order yet?
