2014 Mercedes S550

Proof of MBC...

Just ordered my 2015, this time with Magic Body Control and HUD. All other specs will match my 2014 build. How will I know I have it so that I don't leave the dealership without that spec checked?

Side note......Got Mercedes New Orleans to give me a 5% discount. Big difference from the 0% I got from Houston, lol. Anybody know if they're a good dealer or not?

S500 2015

As far as I know the suspension mode (Comfort,Sport) button in the centre console is marked with ABC in vehicles equipped with Magic Body Control function.

I found some pictures that may help

Or is it applies to the ones they have in stock?

Thanks in advance
