Introduction: New (and first) MB owner
Hey all,

Just wanted to introduce myself and my recent purchase of an 09 S550 (54K miles) from a friend of mine this week. This is my first Mercedes and am enjoying it so far. Still learning the car and fixing a few things but can't complain so far.

Awaiting a few things to do:
  • LED tails
  • Yellow fogs
  • Install Bovee
  • replace front brakes

Welcome. I would do apple carplay interface which gives you more options plus there are no wires cutting and also can keep all the oem stuff in place.

OP verify that the balance shaft issue has been attended to in your naturally aspirated V-8.

What a beautiful example.

My sympathies for having to live next to such vile neighbors.
