Hey Nevada, I know I am super late with the congrats, but man....just gotta say the new car is 100% better looking than the other S you had ordered.
Don't get me wrong, other was sweet, but this one just kinda takes your breath away. The AMG package just completes that white.
Honestly, I just can't stop staring at it.
I ever make it over the border to NV, you gotta take me for a spin.
Please post pic after pic when you get her in the driveway.
WOW!!!

I agree on this car having more curb appeal than the ordered Andorite Grey. When I started looking at inventory as an option this new post of the White AMG jumped off the screen. I called and told them to send me an offer and the rest is history....we closed the deal in about an hour.
You can depend on photos soon...

Just curious -- did you cross shop between the BMW 7 Series? I haven't had a chance to extensively test the 'new / restyled' 7er since the 745 was morphed into the 750.

Jack---How does the dealer treat it while they wash it? Is it as clean as if you cleaned it yourself?

Probably not...I may touch up a spot here and there, but it is an exterior wash only so I do the inside. I do take it to a full service carwash (hand wash) every so often. My cars do not get very dirty inside or out. Only rain and MB brake dust require me to wash it at all most of the time.

To tell you the truth, I didn't really like the Andonite Grey color very much, compared to the white one. White catches the eye more than the grey. Congrats, Jack!
I wish the LE was white :/

1. Exterior: Get a big California Car Duster (sorry, but they don't make a Nevada Car Duster) and use it whenever your car gets a little dusty.
2. Interior: Get a little California Car Duster (sorry, but they don't make a little Nevada Car Duster either) and use it whenever your interior gets a little dusty.
3. Wheel dust: Get a cheap Wal-Mart car wash mitt and wipe down you wheels every few days.
You will get a great workout (NOT) and your beautiful new car will always look like it just came off the showroom floor. If you really want to go over the top, get a spray bottle of Megiures Quick Detail and do a QD once a week yourself. You will be amazed how long your new car will look like a new car.

Andorite Grey never really appealed to me that much either. I like flint grey much better but the White blows that out of the water. It's funny because on thursday night I saw that car on Ebay, and I showed it to him and he said it was the hottest S ever, and he doesn't like the new S

to Jayhawk on the California Car Duster. We use it all the time whenever we're leaving somewhere on a nice day, or somewhere formal, and don't have time to wash the car. Leaves the car shiny and new in minutes.
