Nice shots! I'm glad MB did such a nice job making the parking sensors flush with the bumper.

Can you post some shots that aren't so "fisheye"-like?

...and Nevada gave you plates already?? Or were those from your S430?

Drive safe!

Nice! If you look closely, I think I see some people looking out the windows of their houses drooling.

Just beginning J...be patient. I have 5 different lenses and you will see some from each one at multiple locations...LOL

The plates are new. I went to DMV this morning and you walk out with the plates. You can use your old ones if you want but I wanted clean new ones.

LOL Ricky...no BRAVO SIERRA...

BTW...the thigh support is very comfortable and once I found the optimum firmness and length it was great. The Dynamic Multicontour seats are worth every penny...and the ventilation really worked on that long 12 hours in them yesterday.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the W221 is growing on to me. It looks so damn luxurious.

Wow! Alabaster white is definitely the best color for the S-class. It manages to look elegant and "get the hell out of my way" at the same time. I love the side profile pics. Can you take more straight on side photos? I would love to see how it looks from the side w/ the AMG kit.

That is the most beautiful car!

Thank you so much for the interior shots, b/c from mbusa.com, I don't like the color. But seeing some real life pics, has changed my mind.

Nice car man! Nice car!

Edit: Could you take a pic of the dash and insturment panel from the backseat? Something from a more straight-on angle?

Thanks!

Photo Requests

I will be shooting a lot of images during the next week, interiors and exteriors. I will also shoot closeups of the dash and some of the COMAND screen shots. I have a very willing subject and a great model....

I was the same on the "beige" interior until he opened the door in the detail area...WOW...it looks fantastic. Very lush appearance and the color of the dark and light beige leather and the wood blend perfectly. I plan on lowering the front seats so I can get a clear headon view of the dash.

Wow! Glad to know you made it home okay Jack. I love your car. When it's my turn to get an S I definently am going for a Alabaster White with either the Beige or the Black Interior. Thats the hardest choice because I love White/Black combinations. But your car is so beautiful and those seats look amazingly comfortable. Congrats! Do the Xenon lights have the curve sensing technology and change angle like the E Class?

Thanks...you won't be sorry. I only had seen the Black and Grey prior to seeing the Sahara, but once I saw how it looks for real, I made the right choice. I know a lot of people favor black interiors but I don't think the all black interior really flatters the S550...color selections are personal "what you like" is the important factor.

Yes the Xenons do curve sensing.

Thanks Empire...they are beautiful and the ride is terrific!

I had thought about the AMG pkg early on but thought $5600 was too much for it but once I saw it on this white car, I was sold. At the car wash yesterday one guy asked me " who did the mods?" When I told him it was a factory option he could not believe it.
