(moving from the sedan forum)
It took a while for the car to arrive, four moths from the date of the order to be precise. Delivery was not without the drama either as first attempt last Thursday had failed when dealership called and informed that one of the lighting module failed diagnostics. That call happened literally as I was driving to pick it up. As it turned out, loose connector was the reason and the new module replacement they shipped from California will stay with the dealership just in case Nevertheless, car was picked up last Saturday.

It's nice to be back with six hundred horses though I will have to pace myself for the next thousand miles. MB interface is a bit strange and will be something to get used to. Sound needs tuning, I believe there was an app for the Burmester 3d system. Seat is awesome, took me awhile to recognize why I was uncomfortable and pulling back the seating pad solved it (I used to have it fully extended on BMW without impact to the overall position and in MB and also adjust overall seating support).

Yesterday was a nice day to take couple of snapshots, enjoy!

Meeting Ben in an hour

More interesting question will be with electronics. I'll give Benchmark a call once car is back, looking at the back side I'm challenged to see how to cleanly install ALP.

Dan_B

Awesome!!

look for the ‘sound check’ app in the Apple store. Enjoy and well done on an awesome build!!

Igor Sakhnov

@COOPERDB and @Dan_B - Escort as a radar detector makes a lot of sense to me but laser shifters / blinders do not. I talked to both Benchmark (escort shop) and Systems Unlimited (radenso / alp shop) and am a bit torn between the two. Probably leaning towards the SU with randenso/alp. Thoughts?

Great looking car and gardening too

Dan_B

I don’t know enough about Systems Unlimited to offer an informed suggestion. Maybe D.B., or other folks can offer a solid POV. Best, Dan

Very classy spec sir! Looks great in the sunlight : )

Beautiful car! (Not sure about the pink license plate frame though). Enjoy!

Igor Sakhnov

Very cautious driving as I'm breaking it in with still 100 miles only on the odometer. Love it It's clearly a heavy car but well balanced. For a high power daily driver in Seattle area all-wheel drive is a must. I was never able to enjoy year round any of my past M3s and M5.

Among regular cars nothing comes close interior and comfort wise.

Looks Great - congrats!

Igor,

Dorian and I just missed you and your new beautiful coupe at East side auto today. I picked up Dori after Ben and Joey finished doing their magic.

Ben and Joey at Eastside Auto Salon giving Dorian love and some magic ;-)

Once you are done with Hugo, and go back to Eastside, you will love your coupe even more when they are done with yours (have a name yet?)

Igor Sakhnov

I was impressed by everything done to Dorian! When is the new one coming?

I’m not going with Hugo, I decided to go with Systems Unlimited and get Radenso + ALP. It’s off to Ben once electronics are done.

Dan_B

Thank you! I'd be curious of your take on Systems Unlimited for the new Dorian. My Dealer @ Lynnwood will get his allocation around Jan 15th and then I'll know more about the ETA for the new Dorian, and when my wife will rename the current coupe to a name she loves.

Hope to finally meet you and look forward to having you enjoy your beauty. BTW don't forget that CCBs also have break in process. DB sent it to me. I'll find and send you a PM with it.

Best, Dan

I have been waiting for a friend to return from Europe

with a radar update -

He said last fall he got ticketed twice for speeding while

using Escorts top unit and began to question if the install

was done correctly -

He decided to go with this:

https://radenso.com/products/radenso-rc-m

He feels that he gets a faster response from a greater distance

than he was getting with the Escort and has not had a ticket

since it's install the end of October -

That being said no one has pushed the Escort unit as hard as Dan

and he can share his stories of his Escort saves -

While these are the top two units on the market the Radenso

unit is the newest of the two -

I am going to recommend the Radenso unit to Dan when his

new Coupe arrives -

If you have any other questions just ask this forum group

as this sub-forum has extremely smart / sharp members

Check your P.M.'s -


Thank-You

@COOPERDB thanks for the CCB bedding details!

For those interested - thread on rdforums wrt laser jammers and radar detectors here

Got the first batch of changes done with detection and countermeasures in place
All work done by Charles and Systems Unlimited. Really like how the front sensors are integrated, not as excited about the rears but it is what it is with the S63 bumper set up.






Rears are on top of a license plate and are more visible compared to fronts


Both control units are in neatly tucked on a passenger side


The remote is in place of the ashtray

I went with 2 channel BlackVue setup with the extra battery installed next to the main car battery. BlackVue is thirsty draining the extra battery by 50% overnight, I wish they had geo fencing disabling it once in the garage.


Now to the next stop to get PPF and ceramic coating.

Wow, you're pure money Sir
