My first S Class...

The is the V8 biturbo, 435 hp Long version, 4matic. 25”000 km and 2015 for around $90’000 (half the price of a new S Class.... in Switzerland).
The best choice for long journeys I think
18” wheels of course for optimal quietness....

The only thing that bothers me is the quite strong perfume they put into it (I noticed the same in a recent E class today), and no, this is not the same smell as the automatic fragrance system....

Congratulations, beautiful S class. Hopefully the scent will dissipate shortly.

Thanks!

Does anyone know how to memorize the lumbar settings? It seems to reset each time I restart the car...

In my 2018 when you adjust the lumbar or shoulder or bolsters you have to save the position with the controls on the door. Then it remembers your seat position and all the others.

First of all, beautiful ride! Seems like you got a fair deal as well!

To answer your question, simply adjust all seat settings to your preference, Press the M button on the door panel by the seat settings, then press the Number right after simultaneously until you hear an alert sound. That means it is saved. You're done!

Looks like you have an S500 instead of 550 like we have in the USA. Am I correct?
