Welcome! Beautiful car. I'm surprised they ordered it with the black spoke wheels, instead of the high polish multispokes. The high polish would really set off the car against the dark paint and chrome trim. But it's all personal preference of course

I always preferred black interiors but this white/black combo looks incredible in person. I even like the gray metalized wood trim. Has a great feel when you’re inside. One option it didn’t have that I would have liked is Magic Sky. Guess I will just have to tint the sun roof to lesson the light coming in.

Just FYI, I ordered my 2019 S65 coupe with magic sky and MBZ ended up making the car without it. Speaking with the service manager - he stated that after 2-3 years they start having problems. I don't miss it to be honest.

It is always a bummer when they leave something out. Magic Sky is awesome, my car is an 18 S63 sedan and I love my Magic Sky roof. I bought the car used and wouldn't have thought it had any benefits if my wife's Toyota Venza didn't have one in her car. I fugured if Toyota has it, then it should be fine in a MB. Plus, I couldn't let her outdo me...LOL

OP, beautiful Car!!! I had the Porcelain interior on my S550 and it was stunning, never faded anywhere or showed any signs of aging up to 80,000 miles, and I weigh over 300lbs. I've had other cars show more wear in under 20K miles, really speaks to the quality. And you have the upgraded leather package so yours is even better.
