New 07 S65 to our MERZ Family

Hello all HAPPY HOLIDAYS to everyone! Just wanted show the new 2007 S65 i just picked up with 40k miles. Do me a favor please and advise anything you think i should look over or have PM on right away? I do most of my work myself. I can't believe the work that was done on this late 2017 on warranty (read attached below) unreal ! Also just had the pass side coil pack and ignition control module replaced a few weeks ago. So i hope i have a real gem and keeper !

Looks to be in great shape?

Try and get a VMI report from your desler. And see if anything's been done to the ABC system. Spark plugs?
i just bought a white 07 a couple weeks, had a couple issues. But i got them sorted out. Goes in next week to the dealer for a check up.
I'm looking for a set of stock wheels just like yours, if you change out your wheels I'll make you an offer for them.

The wheels are my favorites! Look at the service invoice attached it looks like the ABC exploded when they serviced it and most all was replaced ! 6k in repairs! I'm going to update the Command NAV 2016
ver 15 is the best you can do I guess.

The original rotors look pretty good, however I could do some brake pads. I can get the TRW OR Centrics under 70.00 a set it looks like. Any recommendations you have what to go with and would you go to the ceramic pads or stay Semi-metallic?

Thank you in Advance
