Whole lotta personal questions being asked here Not sure why OP had to state his age of 28, but also not sure he wants or needs to divulge personal info.

Congrats! Having driven one, all I can say it's a very fine automobile.

I could never imagine having, lets say, a Ferrari as a daily driver. However, SLS AMG is something you can actually drive every day. It's exotic but not too exotic.

Congrats! The best thing about owning a SLS in India is that there is virtually no traffic from 3:30am-4:30am so you can really open it up for a good 50 feet between the potholes and construction sites

If you have a technology company your probably not based in Mumbai, I'm guessing more out towards Ahmedabad or Baroda? Maybe Delhi?

Yes, I spend a lot of time there.

Looking forward to the pics, congrats again

cool.
not sure what exactly a "technology" company is, but apparently it must be doing quite well for you.

SLS AMG
Thanks everyone. Quick questions for Current SLS AMG owners
1) Did you get the TPMS in your car? I see that in the US / Canada manual but the dealer says somehow none of the SLS's come with TPMS ? Which i think is not possible somehow. Since this was a ready car i picked from the showroom maybe they didnt order the option?

2) I have this on the option list B12 Tyre change tool kit in conj. with spare wheel - However there is No spare wheel provided. The dealer says the system accepts this wrong code and none of the SLS's come with the Spare donut wheel.

3) I have the B&O installed on the car , somehow the base isnt as good as the BMWs i own. The base is at full and i have tried to play around with the settings but didnt get much success. Playing high bitrate MP3s via USB , and the same tracks have good bass on my BMWs

Appreciate any help!

PS - i have driven around 600 kms in last 3 days , cant wait to complete the run in

both BMW's i own/owned have had pretty kick *** sound systems. my E60 m5 didnt even have the premium system, and it was still the nicest sounding system i ever head in a car. it must be one of their many talents.

although for the price of that SLS, you should expect nothing but the best money can buy.

even though, having the most prestigious "name" sound system doesnt always equate to the best sounding one.

Having driven SLS AMG, I have hard time believing someone would actually listen to music while driving the car. The engine and exhaust make such a lovely melody I wouldn't dare to turn on the radio. Instead, I would keep on driving and let the engine do the talking
