S500 2015
Black looks better and more luxurious in my opinion especially at night but the problem with black is you have to wash the car always because it gets dirty easily.

I would go for option 3 because IMHO anthracite blue has a lot of depth to it and you always see black s-classes.

I'd vote for white or blue. I considered black when making my purchase. I just didn't think it did justice to the lines on the car. That blue looks rather interesting. My other two cars are black and they are a real pain to keep clean.

I agree, a lot of people have black or white but rarely you see the other colors.
I love black and dark colored cars but they are more work to maintain, but worth it. White cars look amazing with black or carbon accents/pieces. I also just looked up the Anthracite blue and wow, that looks amazing, go for that!

I have Anthracite Blue and the car looks great in sunlight - at night, it looks like black. It's a very dark steel gray color. I would go with Anthracite Blue just because a black S-Class looks so boring/trite. A white S-Class looks great too, but I think the metallic colored S-Class colors are the best. Plus, a white exterior with a black interior is just gross - at least to me.

I've seen a couple of matte Es, one was silver, the other I think white. I thought the silver looked great, but I was told that the matte finishes are really hard to maintain. MB gives you special polishes with the car and you need to use them...otherwise, portions start to look shiny, while other portions stay matte.

haha, guess it's one more thing to have to be **** about, I don't have a garage and wouldn't consider a matte finish without one, I couldn't imagine having 'shiny' spots on my matte paint.....not to mention MB getting you hooked on one of their special sauces
