just picked her up on sat night..

i had a W220 S600 before, but the new W221...awesome. now the trick is...i need to learn about this car!

When can i use the center console phone pad thing? and i was thinking about getting the blue tooth....good idea?

Anyone make lowering module? Do W220 wheels fit on the W221?

Anything else i should know about this car?

Congratulations! I would recommend the blue tooth adapter (if you have a blue tooth phone), once you set it up it starts to recongize your phone as soon as you get in the car and works great. Then you can use your keypad to dial out or answer/disconnect calls. Wheels off the 220 will work but you can go a little wider in the rear of the 550 if you want and 22" rims will fit, the biggest problem is the taller grease cap in the front, if you are running a exposed lug wheel it may cause a problem with some rims. Play with Command a few days and you will learn allot of cool stuff that it will do that you might not pick up from just reading the manual. Brabus makes a lowering module, I am installing mine tom. I will post and let you know how it goes. Enjoy your new Benz!

They ran out of them...pure and simple. How it happened I don't know but MBUSA said it is the high demand here and in EU. It looks like early Spring (which is now) to early Summer before they will have them available. My dealer said they don't know how they are going to distribute them to dealers yet.

I just ordered my bluetooth module even though my car hasn't yet been built (but should be in the next 10 days).

I hate waiting...
