Looks great. Very pleased with the selenite grey -- has a nice sparkle to it. Unfortunately the iPhone pic doesn't do it justice. For some reason I have chrome door handle inserts and I'm not a huge fan of them. Dealer said they come on all Mercedes equipped with keyless entry. Is this true?
My sedan did not havr them. It may be a screw up, but since they are an option you didn't pay for, and are removable, no big deal. Really nice wagon, enjoy!
I wouldn't spend the money for the B & O. I'm extremely disappointed with the sound quality and the side mounted tweeters rattle, vibrate like crazy. I've been to the dealer twice about door/ side panel rattle and they claim the tweeter was loose? I love my black wheels.

Sorry to hear about your B&O experience. I also have the B&O system and love them though. If you have heard the B&O sound, for me it's hard to go back to the factory H&K.

Can't wait to open her up!
Congrats. Looks awesome. Nothing like the AMG experience. Enjoy.

Thanks! I did order the b and o. I think it sounds phenomenal when playing lossless files or cd's. If you're just playing mp3's or Sirius, probably not much of a noticeable difference, but with uncompressed files, man do those tweeters come alive! I use a streaming service called deezer which streams in FLAC and it sounds unbelievable with the b and o. Obviously only worth subscribing to if you have an unlimited data plan since FLAC Files can get pretty big.

When I ordered my car I agonized over whether to get the B&O but after hearing a long test I was not happy with the B&O system at all and found that it actually had less bass than the HK. I don't think either sound system is great.
A great factory sound system would be the Burmester in my 2014 911 Turbo S.
I'm pretty amazed at the Fender sound system in a 2015 VW Golf Wagon I use in Florida, one of the best sound systems I've heard. They did a awesome job with the 2015 upgrade from the Jetta Wagon to the Golf, I drive a lot in Florida winters. I have not heard many good things about the B and O system in the Benz either, but maybe that is some of the problem that it needs a better input signal as said. The Fender system though seems to sound good with all sources.

I did the same, but I brought along several cd's with me. Agree, with radio and mp3 inputs the b and o was underwhelming. But with uncompressed files there is no comparison with the hk. It's not a particular bass heavy system, but the mid and high range output is quite impressive imo.

Yes I understand the B&O is excellent at playing classical music. My music tastes tend to run to stuff with a lot more bass and the system was inadequate in that area to me. And it really was not very good at playing files via Bluetooth audio. I'm sure if I had played lossless files the sound reproduction would've been much better.
Beautiful ride! Congrats and enjoy. Great call on not going with the Range. My dad has a 14 RR Sport and the dealer had to replace the motor at 23K miles for a rattle that just wouldn't go away no matter what they replaced. After about the 5th time they said they didn't know what it was and that they were going to give us a new motor.
