A quick search for images online show Celsius. I'm referring to the temp gauge on the far left.

All [West] German vehicles have coolant gauges in Celsius.

I was under the impression that you were asking about the outside temperature indicator.

The only other item I noticed was an issue with the display shown below:




Purple scattered line in the display

The red button is the trunk assist. When the top is down and you push the button, it tips up giving better access to the trunk. See photo.

The purple in the display is the "pink (in this case purple) shrimp". A defect in the LCD.

To make sure the trunk assist button works to lower the sunroof back down, the cover in the trunk below the sunroof needs to be locked in place or this button will not work. Without the cover and sunroof down and in place, the trunk itself will not shut.

Looks nice..

030 Performance Package with SL65 rims (gunmetal grey spokes) instead of the regular silver rims. Unless those rims came on the SL55 but I'm quite sure they didn't..

Haven't seen one in this color before. This SL65 has been for sale for quite awhile. Has an accident and the starting price was quite high, but it only has 46k miles.

Love the blue color.
