Talking My new 2010 S550V4

Hello all,

I picked up my new car on Saturday. Here are the specs:

S550 4 Matic
Designo Graphite paint
Black Leather
Premium 2 Package
Illuminated Door Sills
Power Rear Window Sunblinds
Rear Seat Package
Panorama Sunroof
Sport Package Plus 1 (20" rims)
Heated Steering Wheel

The paint is gorgeous - my very new DSLR can't do it justice (plus I suck at taking pictures). I'm attaching a few pictures from the delivery. I'm extremely happy with this - it is a huge improvement over my old W220 S500V4. This car makes me truly spoiled for driving anything "lesser." Now, gotta make sure my princess the M5 doesn't feel slighted because of the new arrival!!! Thanks for looking!

Oh, and they threw in all-season floor mats and rolled the price of a winter set of 18" wheels and Bridgestone Blizzak's into my lease deal. Again, I'm thrilled! She is HOT SEX. That's about the best way I can describe her.

I love the grey/black color combo. You can't go wrong with that!

Thanks for the compliments. Not only is my color drop dead gorgeous, but I feel it will be somewhat rare as it is designo.

Very nice raj! I saw that color too-it's Almost like a very-metallic palladium. The gloss is just so nice on the designo paint jobs!

Just beautiful. Congrats! Hope u love it!

P.s. Nice wheels!

Congratulations! Great looking vehicle.

Mine is flint grey and I like the subtle two-tone of the black panoramic roof on grey body.

Thanks everybody. If I knew how to post a higher resolution picture than the attachments I've got, I'd do so.

Problem is that the car looks fairly different in varying light conditions. I think it looks a little bit blue in the photos I posted. In my garage, it is dark grey. When my wife first saw it, she said it looked green. In reality, all are correct because there is a great deal of depth and the paint is sort of a combination of a lot of subtle shades. I'll try to take a photo in direct sunlight - that'll be fun........

And you're right, the subtle contrast of the black panorama roof with the Designo Graphite body is a very nice combination - it doesn't stand out like it would on a white or Iridium (or even Palladium) car.

It's great - every time I look at the car, I just smile. Some dude on a motorcycle stopped dead next to me and was hypnotized. LOL!

PS: Don't know how many of you have Illuminated Door Sills - my car has a set of four. They are pimpin. Just make sure to match the ambient lighting (polar) to the door sills!!! HAHA!

If you want to know about the deal I got, head on over to my "October Incentives" thread. I posted details over there.

Exclamation Closeup paint pictures

Sorry if they suck. This is probably the best my limited abilities can support!

Thanks.
