New SL550
hi all, just took delivery on my new SL last week. I'm enjoying it tremendously! I ordered it last April and after some delays on the magic roof it finally arrived but unfortunately just in time for cold weather here in Boston so not much top down time anymore this season. It is Diamond white with beige premium and with all options. Beautiful ride, can't keep my wife out of this one though, haha.

want to mention that I forgot what thread I read it in but someone asked if the B&O system has a fader control, it does not, only balance. Not sure I agree with this as I'd prefer to move some sound behind my ears but nonetheless it is a pretty impressive sounding system especially with CD or uncompressed files.

Thanks - JPeardm - I had asked about the fader. Was in San Francisco last month and the dealer there had three SL's with the B&O and was very kind to let me go play in their cars so I could hear it. Disappointed that there was not a fader, but was still amazing to hear.
I have reserved a slot for a 2014 SL63 - and it will definitely have both the B&O and Magic Sky (and a few other things).
