Congratulations! Sadly I am about 6 weeks behind you. The build looks great. What is Magic Body control? I didn't chose that option but it sounds, well, magical. HAHAHA

I did the upgraded sound also. Let me know what you think. I am so excited about that option even though it cost and arm and a leg.

After docking on the east coast the ship has finally passed the Panama canal and is set to dock LB 09/11/15. About a week to 10 days later I should be sitting in it. I Hope.

I think it is. One other guy had a semi-aniline interior, but it was with the Titanium, and it was a AMG, so it didn't have the quilting on the armrest.

I saw this exact interior in Germany. It is gorgeous.

Those are the seats (Designo major upgrade!!) I am getting in my next one.

I wanted to know if they were much more comfortable than the "standard" (if u can call them that) with the nappa leather.
