OK, as a few people may remember, I had posted way back in February or sometime of me (my dad actually) buying an S350 as an 25th Anniversary present for my uncle and aunt. And........
Its finally come!!!
Its dark maroon (forgot the actual name) with Exclusive Passion Leather in Beige with dark wood (again forgot the exact option name). Fully loaded asto whatever options were available(sadly no Distronic+ OR Distronic in India ). I just took a short drive of about 20 km yet so can't comment too much on the driving but the interior is just PERFECT The seats are firm and supple at the same time.
One thing I'm worried about is that the leather will become dirty way too fast in my hands, I was so afraid of spoiling it that I told EVERYBODY who sat in the car to clean themselves off first (since its raining currently in Mumbai). I've become completely paranoid.
P.S. NightView Assist ROCKS!!!!!! I just loooove it and I barely tried it for like 5 minutes and I can already see its actual use. IT IS NOT JUST A GIMMICK (unlike a couple of things in my M IMO)
P.P.S. I don't know about many of you guys but one thing I hate in all Mercedes are the crappy crappy sideview mirrors. They are small and completely unuseful. I don't know how nobody has ever noticed. Even when I drive my C200K, I'm afraid that I'm going to bang into someone if I don't see completely. Theres just too much of a blind spot in these mirrors unlike in the M which are perfect IMO.
P.P.P.S Pictures tomorrow in broad daylight. (not a good photographer so you have to accept whatever I can get)

Sounds great! If that's the maroon colour like in the pics of the W221 in the initial press release, then it'll be great! I'm keen to see the interior, too - also sounds good.
Congrats to you/your family on getting what I think will be an excellent car

Sorry it took me sooo much time, but no time to take pictures with proper angles and such. Here is one picture taken by my brother as he was amdiring it from his friends house. I'll get more shots once my M5 comes back from the workshop and have a proper photoshoot with both cars side by side.
