Panoramic Glass Roof For SL??
Has anyone heard, or been able to choose this option? Or will it be released at a later date?

YES
I saw my first SL today at the dealer.. I think the launch editions have a panorama roof because I noticed a rolling shade on the roof on the inside. WHAT A CAR! so amazing in the flesh..

I am alsmost sure it was an LE, but
if it wasn't, then it was the sliver one with a sport package that I saw, ad tok a thorough look at because unlike the normal LE's this one was open and being dealer preped when I saw it so I looked and touched the inside a ittle more....

This is, in fact an option that is available for order on cars now. In fact we have a few cars that will be arriving later this week with that option. When they come in I will try to post some pictures.

The LEs at my dealer did not have the Panorama Roof. I cheched the spec sheet thoroughly. I wonder if that was a special order?

The option is only $1800, which pales in comparison to the price of the same option on current bodystyle (around $4000).

SL55 glass roof
I do not know why it would NOT be available. If you look at the other AMG models, there are no options that you can't get on them that is available on the standard models.
Hope this helps!

The remote-controller stationary heater [mainly for cold countries, allows you to heat the car up without going outside] is available [in Germany] on SL500 but not on SL55
If the glass roof isnt available on my SL55 (right-hand-drive, probably July/August), i'll get it retrofitted later if possible .. I love the glass roof on my R129 SL

Richard...
Have you heard anything in the UK about a recall of the SL 55?
One of the posters on this board has said that they are recalling the 55 due to problems with the supercharger but I have been unable to find any other evidence of this.
Thanks!

Is it a normal behaviour for you to steal?

well, in his defense, he stated "here is a picture", rather than something along the lines of "I took this picture" or "this is my picture and I'm sharing it with you".
My guess is that he works in politics or marketing, where such fine distinctions are ordinary course of business.

Nope, but as its not released yet that doesnt suprise me. Im meant to be 1st on my dealers list, but the dealer doesnt yet have a production slot [and I know of one other person in same situation] for the SL55.

Thanks for the update Richard.
Juergen: You should get your information straight before accusing someone of stealing...that picture
actually comes from DC's official press site, copyrighted by DC and can be copied or downloaded by anyone with DC's permission. I can name at least two dozen sites that have posted this same picture. MB SPy does this themselves all the time and even has the gaul to put giant "MB Spy Preparation" labels across the photos just because they cropped them!!!
Ahhh!! I see you list MBSPY as your home page...You borrow information from many other sites and magazines why should you be concerned when others do the same??? The fact that people do actually helps traffic to your site and others as people seek out more information and sources.
We refer people to your site almost daily...this is all about sharing not exclusivity. If this bothers you, you should charge to download photos...but then you would be violating DC's coprights.
