E55 then E63, now back to an E55
As far as getting a black car, the only way I would roll is......

..........Obsidian Black (Metallic)

Would buy in a heartbeat but would NEVER buy "regular" black........

If it was me I'd rather have the S600 in black and SL55 in silver.

The S looks more elegant in black to to me, while the SL looks sportier (which it is) in silver.

Silver with berry interior for me one day,

Black seems to hide the curves on the SL whereas Silver brings them out.
