Mine is a US (LWB) model with Rear Seat Package (for some reason, Rear Active Seats are not available here), and it does have a wood panel on the rear armrest with no buttons.

Already looking for wintersetup for THE S-class.

Think 19" is max for wintertyres? Would I go for 19" 5 spoke AMG rims or would I take the same Carlsson rims as on the E-class?

E-class has THE Carlssons as summersetup and 5 spoke amg rims as wintersetup.

Ordered the 19" Carlsson 1/16 rims with pirelli tires for the wintersetup.

E-class summersetup = S-class wintersetup

Planning a photoshoot with my 3 iridium cars in january :

Iridium C220 station
Iridium E280 sedan
Iridium S350 LWB

When the car is delivered I will not be able to call my thread '... project' or '... mods' because I will not spend extra thousands on this car.

The only mods I am considering are the S600 keypad wood cover in black ash and I would like some embossed or embroidered (mercedes or amg or custom) logo in the headrests.

It's mine. and the car is in real life.

Early delivery = Car arrived this weekend at the dealer.

Numberplate is still a photoshop.

Current numberplate on the E-class is 247 - TIM (birthay-name)

On the S it will be the reverse combination : 9 - TIM - 247

The car will stay 3 months at the dealership and on the road in january 2013 ( stupid accountants ).

Hey that is Fantastic !!
Congratz!!

They should park your brand new Mercedes-Benz S-Class somewhere inside, for the time being, protected from the elements.

Hope you can be patient enough not to ignore the accountants and reg. it to your name already.
