OMG!!

Picked up my 2015 S550 last night. Salesman spent 2 hours going over the features and didn't have time to finish them all!!!


What an awesome car! Have owned prior S-class, A8's, Lexus, Jaguar and must say it is un-frickin'-believable what this car can do. Now I know what you people have been raving about all these months.

Congratulations, I know you will love the car. The HUD is a wonderful addition. Wait til you try the distronic with intelligent drive assist and the car steers itself. Enjoy!

Sorry for the double post. I don't know how to get rid of the first one.

I drove from Des Moines to Akron, OH yesterday (about 700 miles). I loved it. Considering all its qualities, I honestly believe that this is the best car in the world.

Congratulations, Dr. Bob !! I'm still waiting for mine to be built...

I had a light gray leather interior on my 2008 550i. I was able to keep it clean but had to stay after it. Keep the leather well conditioned - that will keep the dirt/stains from getting into the leather and will protect the leather from whatever you use to clean the dirt/stains. I tried dozens of products to clean the light-colored leather, but found fastest/easiest to be the Mr Clean magic eraser sponges.

Enjoy your car, super jealous...

My car before this one was had a designo deep white interior. I bought the MB leather protection treatment.

It comes with a great warranty and I never had a single problem with the deep white getting dirty without being easily cleaned.

Hi there! I am curious about the Ruby black. I have only seen it in the dealer's garage inventory but never outside. covered it looks almost purple-black. How do you like it in different lighting?

My Ruby Black at the European delivery center. In full sun you can see copper flecks which takes it a bit brown almost.
