Congrats! I always love a Black S, and it looks even better with the sport package. What options did you get? What are your impressions of the car so far? I bet they are no less than a 10/10

Thanks very much for the compliments guys.... I'll take some interior shots when I can...
It's an obsidian black car with black leather.. Aside from the AMG sports pkg, it has Premium II, Rear Seat Pkg, Heated Steering Wheel, and Electronic trunk closer

Fantastic car...looks great in black. Enjoy in good health

Only one point...get rid of the EuroMotorCars promo on the trunk...the dealer should be ashamed of putting his logo on such a car! Isn't a $100K enough for him....

Very nice! I too prefer the obsidian black. It's a shame that MD dictates the use of a front tag as I hated that when I lived nearby(Potomac). Your neighborhood looks familiar, is it just south of White flint?

Good choice buddy,

Got the same car, same color but different interior. Now all you need is a ML63 in black, and you got a nice spread of mercs.

Congrats.

Eric - Very striking car. I was at Euro last week looking at the Flying Spur and they had a non AMG black S550 on the floor. It looked good, but I think your AMG package really finishes the car. Enjoy !

Congrats...looks great.

Am also a huge fan of blk/blk cars.....does the new nanotech-based paint on S-Class make an apparent diffce in resistance to swirls, etc from car washes?

Okay all of you owners know all the wonderful things about this car so I'll just list a few minor complaints.... First, the side view mirrors are tiny & far too small for a car of its size. They're smaller than the ones on my C-class... Second, I can't leave any keys or CDs in the passenger seat because they fall straight through the gap onto the rear passenger floor. That gap wasn't present in the previous S-class... Third.. and this issue might be due to my lack of familiarity with the car, but why is it that the airmatic suspension can't be changed independent of the comfort transmission setting?? What if I wanted a comfortable ride but wanted to start in first gear + the more agressive shift program? Please tell me there's a way to change the suspension independently....
Eric...
