Great photo's, i had the 740iL and now have the W220 in the same colour as yours, will be getting the W221 next year, shame they don't have that colour for the W221.

The photo's of the two cars together,the BM looks so dated now, still a classic though and a 100 times better than the new BMW.

Brad enjoy your new car and take care.

This car keeps getting better and better! I love it. I still have not even seen one down here yet.

Thank God your Dad knows how to open the door for people, how rude are some people these days with things like that.

I love the BMW I am looking at sometime within the next few years getting one of those for my University car and I will send the W140 home and use it in the summer. Down here all we can afford is the off cuts and old cars from the rich in Asia. LOL.

Great car again!

I am under the impression they are standard since every W221 key I have seen is like that. It is a great improvement over the old ones.

On that note, that pink shirt makes you look kind of ghey.

Unless, of course, that is what you were trying to convey, which is cool.

your deff right about the colors, silver/black, but i must say the cls55 is a niceee car but i think the new s-class is madd nicee split discision between the both but i think i would go with the s550 and a car is a car, it may appeal to the older group because of the price tag but dont mean that there the only ones that can have it.

Pro cons of panoramic roof

Like you car especially the way silver body contrast with the black panoramic sunroof.

Right now, I am considering options for my S350 and the panoramic sunroof looks tempting. Just want to know how well does it shields out the heat during the hot and sunny day. As you may be aware, Bangkok can be an extremely hot place. BTW, can you post picture of your car with the sunroof open.

Thx.

I agree... I really like how it looks with the black contrast. If you ride in the back a lot, the pano roof makes the rear seats feel even more roomy and airy than they already are.
Not sure if you know, but only the front part of the sunroof opens, and it opens up and out, so it's basically above the rear section when it's fully open.
The sunshades are both power operated and roll into the middle section. The only thing I am dissappointed with the pano roof is that you lose the one-touch closing feature of the sunroof. =(
As far as the heat goes, you don't really notice the difference as long as you keep the shades closed.

Too bad the back seat sunroof cant open. How cool would that be, to have both open (i dont know how that could be done though.... given the spacing) but that would be like an open top car!

Such a nice car..you bast***!! Lolz. Actually dispite some people say I think this car matches young people due to its design. It looks very fresh and aggressive especially with the AMG or sport package.

By the way in this pic it looks like you were on the wrong side of the road?

lol well observed. Mr. Delivery man parked his truck on that side of the street and unloaded the car so that when it came to the street - it was facing on coming traffic - so my first driving experience in a W221 was to navigate it far right to make the right turn after all the cars stopped. Mom was beside me, dad was behind in the back seat yelling at me to "take it easy" and mom was telling me to just dont get hit!
hehe
im a great driver - and was fine!
!!!

Of course, driving on the wrong side of the road is fun too BOND JAMES BOND!!!!!!
