Still loving my S550
I am coming up on one year ownership of my 2015 S550. I took a look at the new BMW 750, thinking I might trade for one. Nice car for sure, but the exterior styling left me less than enthralled. I have owned many BMWs, but am about to turn in my X and will be without a BMW for the first times in many years. I decided to get a 2016 GLE 63S AMG for my DD. Great compliment to my S550 which I still enjoy a lot. I will probably get another S550 next Christmas. The only thing I wish I had on my current S is the full Nappa leather.

Also coming up on a year with my S. Couldn't be happier. Only issue has been sidewall bubbles on my twenty inch tires. Replaced one three weeks ago and the same tire has a small bubble on the sidewall. Going in for first service next week and will replace the tire...again. I looked at the GLE as a replacement for my old C Class but just can't warm up to the styling. I'm sure it is a great performer, especially the 63S, but the tall back end just doesn't do it for me. Good luck with your new purchase.

I have had my 2015 for over a year now. I am very pleased with it. I still don't know how to use all the features (self-park), but I enjoy it every day.
The only thing that jumps to mind that I do not like is having some of the seat controls (lumbar, shoulders, etc.) controlled by the MMI.
