New S550 owner



Hello everyone, I've been lurking here for a couple of months and learning from all of you while I searched for the right S550 for me. I recently pulled the trigger on a matte white 2015 with the AMG sport package and the Burmester 3D sound system. I haven't owned a Mercedes for several years since I sold the CLS 55 I owned previously and I'm very impressed with the ride and refinement of the S550. I have added a clear protection film on the front of the car and I switched out the wheels for a set of S63 wheels a local tire shop had on hand. I have attached before and after photos. I'm looking forward to spending some time on the forum and enjoying many comfortable miles behind the wheel.

Thank you guys. I really like the matte white so far. I notice it really doesn't look dirty quite as quickly as the regular glossy finish paints. My only concern is I understand it is difficult to match if the car ever needs any paint touch up. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there, but so far so good.

Welcome!!
What color interior? Burmester 3D Sounds great! The sound quality is phenomenal even with a Blue Tooth connection to my phone with stored music! I just recently dumped all my songs onto an SD card. Works like a charm...
