Sweet ride and great color combination............ Love all those trees in your neighborhood. As a former east coaster and now a desert transplant I greatly miss the green.........

Very nice!

MB decided not to employ any birdies for the chirp...you get to look at the lights & ensure they flash or program your side mirrors to fold in when the doors are locked.

no chirps as previously mentioned, but....

1, the noise from the locks themselves is pretty loud
2, I employ the option to fold the side mirrors in, so if I see them start to fold I know the car is locked.

Thanks guys, kind of disappointed about the chirp. My range rover didnt chirp either, then again, my range rover didnt do many things right.

White is very nice. It was my wife's choice all along until she saw the silver. What part of LI are you as we could be neighbors? I've noticed a white 550 around my hood lately...

Islip area.

I looked at the silver and it really wasnt for me. My RR was silver and it looked great in that color.
