She’s a 2015 car... Black with Piano Black wood and white seats. Love the carbon ceramic brakes except for when it is time for replacement. 91,000 miles means she’s no show car + the sun has not been kind to the leather on the dash. Never bothered with pics.

Wow John 91K and you still haven’t had to change the carbon ceramic brakes yet? Only reason I ask is my 2018 has 34K.

I'd be curious to know what CCBs on an MBZ cost to replace? My old Porsche GT3 used to be $20k for a set of 4 rotors. Guys used to take CCBs off and run steel rotors when tracking them. I'm sure it's crazy expensive on Ferraris too, but no one drives their Ferrari 91k miles! LOL
