Beautiful looking vehicle. It's amazing that you already picked up a 2015 model. Awesome for you! Did you get the HUD?

Is that the H21 Piano Black trim or is it the H10 piano black with the carbon black?

From the designo wording on the cover, I believe it is the H21 but wanted to confirm?

It looks great.

Also ordered the matte black wheels. Will use current wheels with winter tires and put summer tires on black wheels. The black wheels were not available for my build decade when I configured.

gotwire,

What is your overall impression on build quality of your S63? Any QA (of lack thereof) issues on the interior or exterior that you may have already noticed?

So far no issues. Build quality much better than my G63 or Bentley. Lots of issues with those 2 out of the gate.

Really does look and feel like a new level for MB.

I can't believe my eyes! HUD in a Mercedes! Mercedes typically likes to kick and scream about new trends in the auto business, until finally, several years in, caving and applying it in their cars then going crazy with it to make up for lost time. Therefore, I expect it to be a very good HUD unit (hopefully). Can't believe 2015's are already out, just yesterday 2014's were hitting the lots.

Another apologist in denial. I could back up that claim with a lot more than late HUD, but I won't take the bait.

I ordered my new S500 in early April, completed on the 28th and is expected to arrive in Baltimore on the 14th of May. Today I was told it could be 2 or 3 weeks after it arrives in Baltimore before I see it at my dealer. He said there was a lack of transportation vehicles. I find it hard to believe you can get through customs and from Baltimore to Ohio in a week?

Some '14 S550s have gotten to Pittsburgh from Baltimore in less then a week after being unloaded from the ship in Baltimore. My '14 S550 4matic Euro Delivery car took just less then 2 weeks from leaving the ship to arriving at the dealer. My car was unloaded from a ship on January 24th and arrived at the dealer February 6th. It normally takes atleast a week to two weeks longer at the VPC for Euro Delivery cars. A couple of other S550s that were not Euro Delivery cars that were on the same ship arrived the Thursday before or essentially less than 1 week after being taken off the ship.


Interesting about the lack of transportation vehicles to deliver the cars. That might be true since there have been 3 major fires of car carriers from Baltimore to Pittsburgh since the end of February that I know of that were carrying Mercedes, BMW, and Mini Coopers. One of the fires completely destroyed a 2014 S550 before arriving at the dealer. Glad it was not my '14 S550 totaled by fire.

I ordered a 2015 S550 in February and it was completed on the 30th with my VPC being in Brunswick. I was told by my dealer that i would not receive the car until the last week of May.

Does anybody know how to see when a ship is expected in port?
My 2015 S550 is on the Georgia Highway with VPC in Brunswick.
