loaner
looking good guys
here is my loaner for today :) https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...38d7886a71.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...8e1b87793d.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...5276f2b69c.jpg |
Hyperion,
Nice loaner! How the heck do you pull off a S Class as a loaner? I get a C class or a GLK as a loaner. Tell me your secret! |
I have no idea; but I was glad to hear it too: no 4matic, no sport body, not the nice seats...has 20's also: glad I didn't order those :)
but still a nice ride I guess......I really don't like lane assist and the adaptive CC either..... and my daughter cracked me up when she said her seat didn't have the heating and cooling buttons :) |
Owners with MY2015s - how do you like the new touch pad? Do you find yourselves using it a lot?

Hi,
Do any of you know what type of wheels these are, and an approximate price on these ? https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...47a63dc52b.png |
Finally got my car, pics to follow when weather cooperates.
I waited 101 days from the time I put my special order in for S550 until I drove it off the lot...just know if your expecting to order a car built to your specs this is the kind of wait you can expect. Took 4.5 weeks to enter production. When it went in production that process took less than a week.....the actual construction of the car. Then, it sat in port waiting for a ship for over two weeks. Then....two stops in Europe, one in UK (Southhampton) and one in Spain. Basically it took 15 days from time it left Bremerhaven, did the two Euro stops and then along to Baltimore.
As far as the 5 weeks it took to get into production, I was told that dealers have an allocation, so if they get a special order, they choose a car marked for them as part of their allocation, then they simply put in the changes to make it exactly like the car I want. Why did I have to special order, one is the Bremester 3D system, they don;t sell many of those so finding one at a dealer that has everthing else you want is hard, Secondly, I went with the Porcelain/Black Designo interior.....another option dealers don't order unless a customer orders it. My favorite interior is the Silk Beige/Satin Red Pearl.....only available on AMG cars but it is beautiful. The red is really a brown with a hefty hint of red undertones. It's beautiful. Anyway.....I'll post pics soon when the background is not full of snow piles, and I'll wait for a sunny day. I want to get a coat of conditioner on the paint and a god coat of wax buffed in. Any advice on first time application of conditioner/wax/or buffing a new car with less than 60 miles on it? Thanks in advance. Enjoy the board and all the information, especially you "old timers" or if you prefer "frequent posters." Only recent thread where I don't follow the crowd is on the 14 MY S550 being in the top 10 unreliable cars, I don't know, seems to me there is no way to spin that as anything other than BAD. Survey was polling owners of that car, thats what they said. IN other words.....ITS NOT A GOOD THING AND NO AMOUNT OF RATIONALIZATION (sample was based on one model year, or the others I've heard put forth) WILL CHANGE THAT FACT THAT OUR 140K CAR IS IN THE TOP 10 OF UNRELIABLE VEHICLES. NOT GOOD, NO WAY NO HOW. Having said that.....I put 50 miles on it yesterday as I picked it up late.....it drives like a dream. I'm very happy with the initial drive. From what I understand break in is first 100K miles. Try not to exceed 4000 RPM's during that time and vary speeds in all gears. Most important no long interstate trips in first 1000 miles. I usually pay no attention to break in period, just drive the way I normally do, but this is the most I have ever spent on a car so I'm going to follow the recommendations. Thoughts on break in? |
[QUOTE=Kleffen;6348343]Hi,
Do any of you know what type of wheels these are, and an approximate price on these ? http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicl...b=tab-exterior Looks like those wheels are a option on AMG cars, no cost option for 20" wheels. |

yipes, didn't know there was a color combo like that......sounds nice,
congrats on the car BK |
The designo Silk Beige/Satin Red Pearl is my interior choice. There was one at a dealer about 200 miles from me and I drove down there just to check it out. I wanted to physically see it before ordering. After looking at it, there is no way for me to order another interior color on this car. The dealer did hv the exterior color black and I want diamond whitel and also want to see what the 2016 has to offer before I committ to it. The interior color is for sure. I'm glad I drove the "extra miles".

The dealer where I bought my car has a S63 AMG....I think thats the model. It's over 173K so I"m thinking it will be there for a while. It has the interior Silk Beige/Satin Red Pearl. I got to go down and pick up some parts that I ordered and were not in when I picked up my S550 Monday. So, I'll take a bunch of pictures of this interior so everyone can see it. The rendering on the Mercedes web site does not do it justice.....speaking of the Mercedes web-site rendering of different interior options...its all the same....very far of from an actual photo.
The car has every back seat luxury option you can get, including rear seat entertainment I think.....to me that really narrows the universe of potential buyers. Unless your driving it for someone to chauffeur you around.....why bother with all that. I don't get it but whatever floats your boat. In regards to my S550 (pics coming soon) this is the quietest car I have ever driven. So well insulated from outside noise, yet strikes the right balance on engine noise....I want some of that. When I post picks I'll share my thoughts especially since I'm coming off of 4 different BMW's over the last 10 years. One ***** already..... when spoken navigation instructions come on it does not lower the volume of music enough. I can adjust the volume of the spoken nav instructions, I know how to do that. Thats not the problem, problem is it does not turn the music down enough so you can hear instruction clearly. OK, I;m done. won't post till I have pics to share. Drove my car off lot with 10 miles and now have 140.....so 130 miles in 3 days. I want to get it broken in ASAP. We're getting snow here and thats going to keep me out of car for next couple of days. Brian |
Pics of my ride, I am going to have to do this in multiple post, sorry in advance. Not sure how to put a picture in a post.

Sorry, no pics, I'll figure this out later. Saying I'm "missing a security token" what ever that is, or the picture files are to large. I'll figure it out later. Any advice greatly appreciated. I had no trouble posting the pics of Satin Red Interior

thanks, hype and clkcadet. i'll be honest - i never thought benzo could do better than the 221 chassis; it was brill; i was convinced i was gonna keep my '13. then i got this new 222 '15 and o. m. g. it really is night and day. when i drove my '13 221 back to the dealer today to do the trade after having spent time in the 222 '15 i was like "wow - was i wrong about not being able to improve on the 221 chassis. stunning. absolutley stunning the 222 is." here are some more shots. still learning it. a lot is similar to the 221; some things different. more later. im back in puppy love tonight!

Thanks for the kind words on my car, I would have done the "Silk Beige/Satin Red" interior if I could have, but has been pointed out in another thread they make that selection very expensive. Easy to get if you by a S63 or S65 or AMG, if you buy a S500 and want that interior you have to get almost every rear seat option for some reason. Plus, it adds $8,600.00 for Silk Beige/Satin Red....and the red is really a brown with a hint of red....very misleading name.
Anyway.....I ended up ordering the car and waiting over 100 days to get it. Mainly because I wanted the Bermester High End 3D sound system. So I could not find it in any cars in stock in my Metro area that had everything else I wanted. About he Bernester...I am mainly happy with it. Not as blown away as I thought I would be, don't get me wrong it is great. But, I got a custom system in my Ford F250 pickup and it sounds almost as nice as the Bermester....seriously. One thing about the Bermester that is cool, you can set the sound to be specially tuned for a particular seat....so I keep it tuned for the drivers seat naturally. The drawback to that is if I have a car full of people I turn it off or focus it on another seat and it does not sound near as good as when it's focused on your seating position. |

i like the wheels overall, just may opt for either a little sportier wheel altogether or potentially a glossy black finish on these?

Esthetically and usability speaking. Going to paint the trim on the car to match the wheel. Just the chrome parts of the front grill. Decided to go with gloss black trunk emblems. I know this part is not popular on this forum but, painting the calipers burnt copper (will NOT put the "ceramic brakes" which is on the MBZ cars equipped with ceramic brakes). |

Any particular reason why you're going with TSW? Traditionally for the legendary S-Class customers go a little bit more upscale like HRE so that it matches the status of the car. |

Never really been one for tradition. Your comment kinda typifies one of the reasons why. I'm not about spending $8-$10k for wheels and tires just so I can "fit in". Don't get me wrong, have in the past, in fact, I bought a 22" set of Techart wheels from you guys a bunch of years ago for a Cayenne GTS and have had several sets of HRE wheels for an Aston Martin. The new flow form forged technology has brought some reasonably priced wheel options to the market. Even HRE offers this type of wheel. It's a different day than it was.... I think the image part plays a role but the main point was quality. HRE is the best in the business when it comes to that (along with BBS). The S-Class has been the best in the luxury sedan market for decades so they go hand in hand. To your point - that's not to say the TSW's aren't a solid choice because they are. But being in the wheel industry it's my honest opinion that the TSW's aren't truly meant for big body Benz's. |

I appreciate your opinion. Quality of HRE is great I know; until the wheel meets it's first curb. I doubt there will be any issues putting a TSW wheel on a W222 S class, they're used on SUVs. You guys sell TSW but, the page on your site gives a 404 error. good luck!! And ENJOY |
Lots of wheels choices out there i agree, totally different than it was years ago. Chuck let us know when you get those wheels up and mounted should look great!

I think the 21" should look perfect! and def a different day in wheels. Post up some pics when your done would love to see them.

Are these the same "fin" type style wheel again? Same general multi-spoke directional styling but two different wheels. The above ones appear to be 10 spoke Monoblocks. The ones on the S-Class look to be 15 spoke 3-piece wheels. |

MY S550 on Ferrada F8-FR6 Conti Tires Front 255/35/ZR20 Rear 285/30/ZR20
Recently installed new wheels after bending the 19 inch AMG wheels for the last time on a NY state pothole. I debated between Vossen x Works VWS3 but selected the Ferrada F8-FR6 split bar 7, the choice was risky imo, but I like the results.
Other work done included Avery gloss black vinyl on the grill and the roof, satin silver side skirts, that matched up perfectly with the Ferrada wheels. Future plans: paint correction and ppf, front bumper has been pelted by stones and needs some work. May go with full satin dark grey vinyl wrap in summer 2019. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...d68735a536.jpg New wheels, wrapped roof, grill in gloss black, side skirts in satin silver, final revisions will be completed in spring/summer 2019.

Wrapped in black brushed aluminium on the bottom and steel brushed on top hard to get a good photo of it I love the two-tone. Have any more photos of the car? |

Hi,
I am writing to you from Cyprus - here is my S500 LWB. I replaced the carpets to black as I hated the stains on the beige one. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...b641b69ab1.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...f7effbf5f2.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...1cf8dff28a.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...953e69bdeb.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...1cdfeb0072.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...71db27a59c.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...4fdc666cc0.jpg Other than that it has an S65 kit, spacers on the rear wheels and I really love the car :-) |

Beautiful! Can I ask what level tint you have on your windows? I just took delivery of my 2019 S560 and have an appointment next week to get windows done, but haven't landed on tint level yet. Thanks!
|
thanks man, the rear windows came with tint already when I bought the car, I would assume from the factory, the front I just took to a shop asked them to match it up, although I was not 100% happy with the result, I think the fronts are a little lighter tinted. Congrats on your 2019 model!

Nothing special here, and no "beast" involved. Just out at the park and took a shot of my 2018 in the parking area after being freshly washed. For context, I include a local onlooker:

obviously this was “beauty” :slap: even had a matching glk for my wife. when you go from a clk 350 to an S550 your friend would say “now this is the beast” too. |
2015 S550

Anyone have pictures of a white S that they have added the "night package" that some of the other models have available? This would involve making the side mirrors and lower rockers black, and the rear and front lower valence? Probly most would wrap ?
|
I did roof, wheels (Nissan K11 dark graphite), rockers, door handles, mirrors, S63 diffuser, rear trunk trim, spoiler, roof spoiler. I had black tint on the tails but it was too dark so I removed it. There is a before and after tail light tint pic below. I also ended up removing the rood spoiler.

Magnetite Metallic Black over Porcelain/Black interior. 10,900 miles, 1 owner CPO, $189k MSRP. Picked it up at Mercedes Benz of Plano on 9/13/19. Absolutely love it!

Personally I love the way it looks with spacers. I’m more of an OEM+ type of guy so I love the OEM look but much beefier. Although I would love to get some 21s on it, I live in Michigan so bigger wheels mean more risk of pothole damage and discomfort. Although at 21 years old I can bear with the discomfort a bit more lol :rolf:

The S-Class above uses 21's. Those HRE's are also available in 20". Either way, they wheels are manufactured from 6061 aerospace-grade aluminum - the strongest you can make a wheel out of. I have hundreds of customers driving in Michigan with no problems. |

Lol no problem! I run spacers on all my vehicles and do the alignments on them accordingly after installation of the spacers and adjustable camber links. Although camber affects tire wear very little compared to toe (unless there is a crazy amount of camber), there is a bit of extra wear compared to stock, but nothing that would cause me to eat through tires abnormally. And I have driven over 68,000 miles in the past year!

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...e49fa2c13c.jpg1. I like the headlights and no modification for installation. But I don't remember how the stock lights work at night. Maybe I don't even have a chance to turn on the headlights before I sent the car to my friend's shop. I don't have the night vision option so if you have the night vision on your headlights, you will need to get another headlight has the night vision. 2. The front and rear bumper's fitment are ok, and modification is minimum. But the sensors on both sides of the rear bumper are going to be a problem. Because my lane change assist is not working. But I don't care since I don't need it when I am driving. Try to get a body kit made in Taiwan, not made in China. I have a very bad experience with a body kit made in China for my W221. |

Took advantage of our current crisis and did a full recon :)
I've owned this vehicle since 10/2018...it's not my first MB, however it has been the most satisfying. Starting with how dependable this vehicle has been for me since I purchased it with 42Kmi. It now has 63K and I daily drive it. This is my favorite Mercedes, however my first love was my 1999 CL600 C140. Although timeless and classic, it always needed something. Knock on wood, this W222 has been playing nice. I do service it to a T however.
Thanks for taking the time to check it out and comment! Good bad or ugly! Stay safe during this mess out there! PS: Does anyone have a front plate bracket they do not need or haven't installed? I wish I didn't have a front plate but the previous owner butchered the bracket on the car now, and I'd like to correct it!

2016 s550 sold https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...9c8c43a1f.jpeg Trade my 550 for 560. Went with magno cashmere a bit of a Remix to my 550 https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...7adadf294.jpeg Wife's car 2019 cls53 https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...084c9eb5a.jpeg 2019 Cls53 cranberry interior. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...b85524a17.jpeg Vinyl wrap on moldings. Painted emblems. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...974f40a2a.jpeg Calipers painted. Rims powder coated. AMG lettering to match Exterior paint |
I'm curious how the CLS 53 drives, in terms of performance, compared to the 560.
|
Cls is quicker but doesn’t have the power I would have expected. I had a 2014 cls550, I think the 550 was faster. Overall great car, but I would have preferred a v8.

Thinking about painting it Jet Black. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...90261349f.jpeg Bought the $550 lowering module from Belarus. Works good just don’t leave it plugged in over night, it will drain your battery. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...8410ea273.jpeg Now that I have the S, the E doesn’t get much love. |

If you're considering a switch to Jet Black, Try a vinyl wrap instead of repainting.

i think I will look into that. |
Was at the dealer for normal svc and saw this on the floor. I imagine it will be there a while, though I wonder what they would sell it for.

You have a beautiful home as well :y Also, the second pic is perfection! It also looks like, from the light reflecting that the grill has an illuminated bar which would be a cool mod :) Thank you for sharing :y The car is gleaming!!

A little offroading! Haha

I met my wife and kids somewhere today, and they wanted to ride back home with me in the S560, but I didnt have their carseats with me. Their solution was to have me drive them home in the van while my wife drove my car home. I enjoyed following it and checking it out lol, I even took a picture!

The Best or Nothing...
I have looked at 2 S class cars. In the first case it had a bad Carfax. I dug deeply, independently of the Dealer, and got the accident repair bill. The damage was $7700 and included replacement of the front reinforcement bar. That did not bother the Dealer in declaring the vehicle CPO.
In the second case the car also has a bad Carfax. On questioning "It was nothing" and they proceeded to CPO the vehicle. Hmmmm..."The Best or Nothing" does not apply to the Dealer body...not the car body. |

Here's mine, a 2018 S560L4 one without the AMG styling. Had a hard time trying to make the Anthracite Blue colour show properly; it's much more gray than it appears in the pictures. Also, no paint correction's done as of yet, I am not sure whether I want to have it wrapped first or if a ceramic coating would suffice.
Finally, not in love with the 18 rims, the tires are too thick looking for this car, but I am not planning to replace the rims soon. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...e4fb310191.jpg |
That’s a great color, I have a friend with a pre-refresh W222 in that color.

I'm having a 2018 S560 delivered next week in the same color. I was just wondering what you think about it after owning it for a bit. I'm just a little worried about maintenance. I've never even seen the color in person, but it had all the options I wanted, so figured I'd take a shot. Just curious what options you have and how much you paid. Did you get the extended warranty? I did even though there is so much controversy about them.

I paid $78k for it with 24k miles. Premium 1 package, AMG sport, rims, HUD, driver assistance, rear seat package, designo wood, exclusive Nappa, exclusive trim. Full retail of $125k. Also got extended CPO warranty for 2 more years for $3850 |

BTW, I've used Swissvax wax on mine with a layer of Blacklight underneath and it worked wonders (until I got it coated couple of weeks ago). |

Waxes (and certainly polishes) ruin the finish by making it shine. I do believe there may some new (rare) ceramic coatings that’s are compatible, but in general the matte paints are to be left alone. |

But it also has a spoiler that I'm not sure how I feel about until I see it in person. Magic sky control that was originally $5K, which I think is totally nuts and I was quite happy with the normal panorama roof. Heads up display which I found distracting when I once took a test drive with it, but maybe I'll get used to it, and Night View Plus which was $2250, but I never really drive at night and don't think it's that useful anyway. I also have the Exclusive Trim Package, but have no idea what that is. I really don't like the wheels on my car, and like the ones on your car, both black and natural much better, and I'm going to have to give some serious thought to switching.

Your car looks so clean that you may want to consider having it ceramic coated so you never have to go through the trouble of waxing ever again and it will shine better than any wax. In all honesty I don’t like them anymore either. I think these “overly busy” badges detract from the car. I’m planning on a Weistec tune and will probably put their vinyl decal on there, it’s very subtle on our color. I am very familiar with ceramic coatings - have had them on many vehicles over the years. But in all honesty I like the exercise of a good wash and wax, and personally think nothing looks better than some real carnuba. Maybe it’s just the hard work talking. |

That's a really unique color, ebceksl... It really brings out the lines of the car and is especially nice in the sun.

Finally had a warm enough day to give the car its first bath since October and knocked off a ton of salt. Fortunately the ceramic is holding strong and the water still beads like crazy.

Also 7 series drives more sportier and louder then MB. I don't need such a big car to try to be a Porsche and fail on this attempt.. Stereo sucks in both cars unless it is upgraded $5K optioned system. 7 series pluses - IDrive is surprisingly better than MB Infotainment system. I still miss BMW ability to start the car from the key and program to warm up seats and steering wheel if the temperature outside lower than certain degrees. Overoll MB is better for me. I specifically selected 2020 and 6 cyl engine car. I don't like tesla style interior in the new S class and the deal was too good to pass by. I hope I'll enjoy this car for the next 3-4 years. |

My 222 S65

Thanks for the photos! I was looking to replace my 18" summer rims on my car and I was considering these; they are cheap enough and classy looking (and I wouldn't want AMG or sport-looking wheels on my S560). Mercedes's website doesn't do them justice, they look much better on a car rather than on the website.

@Quenthel
It seems that the previous owner had the wheels powder coated, and then must have damaged one of the rims, had it replaced, but not powder coated! I'm going to try to get in contact with them and see where they got it done, and what color! It's a local car to me, and maybe the dealer will reach out to them for me :duh: Edit 1 Next I spoke to my service advisor, he thought that maybe a repair had been performed and the wheel simply wasn't repainted, so he dug through the vehicle history and determined that yes a wheel had been repaired (in 2020), and he is going to speak to their wheel guy about getting it resprayed, and repairs to the other wheels. So, new comment and pics! Edit 2 My Service Advisor had their wheel guy look today, and apparently the one shiny one is correct and as it should be! The wheel guy is of the opinion that the other wheels have been repaired and painted, a few times, goodness know what the previous owner did! The suggestion is to get all 4 wheels refurbed, and sprayed the same color in one go :smash: I think that I will wait for a month or two before doing that, I can live with the difference! https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...7240cc0104.png https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...569430493d.png |

Thankfully it's on such a busy place that it doesn't get noticed, like, at all (especially with my little jury rigged fix). The dealer told me that it usually happens because of the bristles in car washes, but I have no idea how true this statement is. |
I believe this is the part both of you are looking for. It is the entire upper cover (please go and check yours and be sure the upper chrome strip is on that piece).

Thanks @cfmistry , I too found that part, but I think that’s just the blank plate and not the trim, I think that this might be the trim piece we need (222-888-01-00).
I just found this: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...bfaba99b0.jpeg I have something else to order, so for another $30 I may add it to my cart! As for going through a car wash @Quenthel not any more for mine! I enjoy hand washing, and detailing, it gives me some time to myself! |

BUT, since I live in an apartment, I have to use one of these "manual" car washes where you do everything yourself and the station provides foam, pressurised water etc. I use my stuff (even for the foam) with the exception of the pressurised water, but I have to go there after midnight when there's no living soul around; people can get really mad waiting me with my 2 bucket system and the 3 hours I need :D (and that's after I had it coated and I don't have to apply wax any more). |
Might as well have a shot at it. Here goes

Traded my BMW 7 series for 2020 S450. |
They are also double the price for some reason! Oh, also, how did you install it? Did you have to clean anything up, apply glue or dismount anything? Did it give you any trouble? Thanks in advance. |
Correct, I ordered 222-885-02-26-9040, I do have the 360 camera, this is the door, with the trim piece attached.
The install wasn’t too bad, four 10mm bolts across the top of the grill, and then pull the grill forwards. There are three clips across the top and two on the bottom that hold it in place after that. Then detach all of the electrical connectors, I had 3. From here, place the grill face down on something soft, there are five torx screws holding the camera assembly in place, take them all out. Push he camera door so that it’s wide open, and pull the camera out. The door has a spring on it, take note of where it is! Unclip the door, and your ready to go in reverse. Putting the spring back on the door was a pain, but after that it went quickly. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...f7c31878d.jpeg Torx screws on camera |
Welp... I don't feel that brave, I'm sure I'm going to break something! :D
Will probably fix it down the line at some point, right now the "trick" seems to hold up fine (well OK, not from too close up). |

Much like me, everyday my car starts to look more gray!
I think that the previous owner must have used black wax, as the longer I have this car, and the more I clean it, the more grey the magnetite black looks.. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...057b704e6.jpeg |

I can tell you that I won't be putting it back on. Both look good, I prefer without. The car has a natural lip to it anyways... so I can't see this being part of the true design. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...32a8d6800b.jpg |
Agreed.
I think the spoiler would be more fitting if it were a contrasting black or carbon, on a white S63. Not big fan of white cars personally, but I've seen some done with good enough taste.] |
I like the spoiler personally, I think the trunklid looks unfinished without it.

Doing the actual coating is the easy part, the prep is what is really difficult. Lots of time polishing and getting the paint right before the coating. Who did you have do it?
I coat my cars when they are new, but they need very little prep because they are new. I wash them, clay them, do an iron decon, and coat them. But an older car is a whole other process I have no interest in doing myself lol |

I should clarify. For a SHOP to do this yes $2k is the going rate. For a guy with a truck, $1000 is on the high end. Obvious overhead differences.

A few pictures of our S560. The only modifications are the addition of wheel spacers, and dark blue Lloyd’s floor mats. Just took a trip to Houston from our home near Jacksonville Florida. These cars are made for trips like that. The self driving features, massage seats, and the overall comfort makes long distance drives very enjoyable.

Those mats look awesome in that interior! I have the same mats in black, they are so nice under your feet. The MB mats are pretty terrible...

Random photo of the day. I haven't washed the car in two weeks, but the ceramic coating made short work of the rain and some of the mud from two days ago.
Colour is Anthracite Blue and by the way, I also had the dealership fix that broken silver bar in the camera door in the front for CHF 100 (not too bad). https://mbworld.org/forums/attachmen...1&d=1682067082 |

Just a quick shot with my little copilot in tow. 2016 S550W4, Executive Rear Seat Package Plus. Love everything about this car, except the base 18” wheels. Noise and ride quality great (markedly better than prior W221 sedan that has Sport Package Plus One (AMG 20”) - but would appreciate the look of multi spoke much more. Is it as simple as ordering and replacing designed to fit? I found some higher quality runs modeled after the OEM that my neighbor (MB Master Tech certified) has used. Can I put 18” run as long as the width and bolt pattern match? example - says it will fit but wanted thoughts from this group on topic. https://www.ebay.com/itm/304388892708?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=utwurn6groa&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ZaGLSXH_Td K&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Thoughts? |

New to the forum and to Mercedes. I have owned Audi and VW (still love my stick shift Mk7 GTI), but my wife has always wanted a big Benz. After suffering through two consecutive crap cars, she gets an upgrade. We initially test drove an E450 wagon, which I so loved, but it wasn’t roomy enough in the back seat and the suspension was overly firm (for her). The S class with the air suspension was exactly what she was looking for, and I have to admit, it is a fantastic ride.
