Beautiful car cone-- enjoy it!.. By the way, what is the trim around the gear shift? I have never seen it before.

I agree - Very beautiful. That trim is the almunium trim..

Cone - that looks very classy. Great colour! Had some doubts about ordering 7-spoke wheels, but they look fine. How does it ride? Pleased with the general feel, is it quiet or a generally firm ride?

Off to Santander next monday to pick up mine, so naturally it will feel like a slow week to come.

Mustard, I think that serial wheels are perfect. Sequentronic much better than auto gearbox and ABC it is very recommendable I am very impressed. Do you know it has two batteries?

Cone, I'm interested in hearing more about the Sequentronic transmission. Can you let us know what you think? Can it act like an automatic also? does it have the shift paddles in the back of the steering wheel also?

Automatic mode is possible, but the speed skip is not so lineal as an automatic gear box. This sequentronic transmision in more sportive and quicker than an automatic one, in manual mode, you can choose sport or comfort mode. Of course, it has shift paddles in the steerling wheel. I prefer automatic gearbox for my S class and sequentronic for my SL. Also you can change from auto to manual mode or vice versa, you have kick down in both modes. One more interesting thing, you can see in the display screen which speed is inserted every instant

cone! Go to your dealer immediately! They mounted your tires incorrectly. They are in the supposed to rotate in a certain direction and from your pic it looks like that front tire is rotating in the wrong direction. You will see an arrow that shows the direction of forward rotation. Compare it to your rear tire, it looks ok. They look like michelin pilot sports.

Many thanks, you have all reason, until now, nobody from MB could explain me why my front tyres was mounted incorrectly. Now they are well mounted.
