I have not had an issue at all (first time ever) with the brake pads and dust.......it's virtually spotless; every time I wipe my wheels off, there's only road grime.......what is a PITA are the dirt streaks the white paint shows.......from the door handles, drip spots, any spot where accumulation is happening there are the dirty lines of daily use

Smile Update

I took a drive in the car today, but the weather hasn't been conducive to photos.

I've noted that I didn't get a Command book (I downloaded the PDF) and my wheel locks weren't installed. I'm having black mats dropped at my house on Thursday, but I imagine they might have to order a book. I guess the locks can wait.

I'm slowly getting used to the car. I finally got the lumbar adjusted. The ride is sublime, reminding me of my old Lexus LS. I have Magic Body Control, but I don't know if it makes a difference on good roads.

I have the Crystal Grey Napa interior with the silver ash wood. I'll have to make an effort to keep it clean. I have towels over my mats. Do they sell clear vinyl slip overs?

I miss the familiarity of my Audi, but I can learn the controls. Hopefully I won't crash while doing it.

Congratulations on your purchase & welcome to the club ! Your car looks great - my 2015 S550 4MATIC is silver as well. I have the 20" wheels; purely a matter of taste...

Enjoy !

My interior




Here's my interior, Crystal Grey Nappa. I've got black mats ordered.

I'm still working on my seat settings and figuring out the best way to access my favorite radio stations.

Ormond, that's one awesome colored interior. That would go great with my Silver exterior.
