Sorry for the delay. They are Continental SportContact 2 tires which according to Tire Rack are summer performance tires. More info here:

Some pictures at the beach

Drove out to the beach today and took the following pictures of the car and the backdrop (Dubai Marina development, specifically Jumeirah Beach Residence).

Mercedes all the way!
those are beautiful pics!

one request i have (if it's safe to do so) is if you could take a pic of the speedometer while you're driving i.e. at speed. since it seems to "fade off" near the centre i'm wondering how the effect looks when the "needle" is moving. thanks!

OK - i have to ask...

Do the steering wheel up/down arrows scan you through your radio presets or do they work like on past MB's????

BTW - beautiful car!

Very Nice Car! Does the manual shifts work good? How does the 14 speakers sound if you have the CD changer option? Let us know all the details.

Yes, along with aceman I too am very curious as to whether or not you can scan your preset radio stations. You should have the choice of choosing either (#1) frequency or (#2) presets in your instrument cluster menu.

Best of luck.

The car looks nice but is it only me that feel the wheels dont really match the car and it should have bigger wheels.

One thing for sure is, the interior is

As I have stated before, it is not the wheels but the "wheel wells" with the "flares" that bother me and "really don't match the car." I still have to see one in person so I may alter my opinion at that time, but right now....boo on the fender flares. The industy spend 50 years getting rid of "fenders" and now the come back and they call them "flares." Big mistake in design for a S Class Mercedes to follow a fad...

Beautiful jimmy
Yes, I believe you're the first so far with this new beauty, thank you for sharing.

The interior quality is a much more improved than the w220s.
How are those ford focus fender flares in person? Is it any better in person than the pictures?

Very nice, but eck, that rear end. On the other hand, that is one hot interior and dashboard.

Navigation

Does anyone know if the navigation screen can also play DVD's while in park? I know some other car brand allow this only when in park, but I haven't read this anywhere if this is possible. Can someone help me out, just curious to know.
