I would wait until they wear out, both are quality tyres, the Dunlop will be the quieter and better riding tyre.

Look on www.camskill.co.uk for good prices
Thank you JBell. I have to stop looking grippy sporty tyres as i need to get it into my head that this is powerful luxury sedan and not a sports car..

Finally an update. The lights are yet to arrive from Germany and will be a week more. I kind of told my sales guy that I was upset as I am putting more miles on my current car instead of being able to sell it. He has offered me a loan car tomorrow till I get mine.. happy days..

Hi all,

Another question I had was around after market exhaust/ rear diffuser.

Struggling to find stuff for the S600. Most options are for the S63 and S65.

The diffuser I understand will fit as it is the same car, not sure about the exhaust. Maybe the one for the S65 should fit as it is technically the same engine albeit a few different parts.

Your thoughts and suggestions guys

And finally she is here... what a car.. I was literally in tears as I picked her up. Has been my childhood dream to own a S class and could not have picked up a better one to start with.

Did 450 miles over the weekend and I will take some time to get used to the size but it is just an amazing car. Moves pretty well for a car of its size..

Thanks Alex. The I terror is simply superb.

One gripe was the fact that it is very very dirty and the excuse the dealership had was that it was month end and the valet guys could not do a thorough job.

I said it's fine as I intend to get it detailed..

What an amazing looking car, and I agree that interior is perfect, I would get enjoyment from cleaning it inside and out. I bet that would be an awesome car to drive long distance in. I am very jealous. Well done on a great purchase.

Thank you Capra.

Already planning a drive just to get to the auto bahn. After de restricting it ofcourse..

Once I get it professionally detailed, I would then maintain it. I have the full set up to detail it myself but as I am still recovering from a shoulder surgery, using a DA polisher will be tough. Lots of swirls in the paintwork.
