Touch screen controls are unreliable and hard to use especially when the car is in motion and over undulations.

I, a) was joking, and b) didn't mention any touchscreen controls preference in my post

KILLER interior.. everything looks like it a class and a generation above the competition just as it should.

2nd the fact that im fed up by this trickle piss style of the release!

Interesting things from the article:

Sale start in 20 th JULY ( my dealer told me the same)
Prices from 80K euro approx
7G tronic in the car they tested no 9G yet
MBC is on board for sure!

To avoid blinding drivers at the rear in heavy traffic, the S-class’s brake- and taillamps are lit at varying intensities.

Finally!

No it doesn't .

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

E80K? Oh please don't make me cry. That is so cheap!

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

It's funny seeing Scott prowling the S-class thread so intently. BMW creative marketing...ever so classy.

 

[LaArtist]

No it doesn't .

a couple of gens ahead actually..

The rest are just 1 generation behind

PS
Love the 2 tone seats..

For all we know this could be the Designo spec interior because we do not have official specification material. At a guess this is probably not standard. The standard interior could be a little different. BMW Individual can do this type of quilting on the dash if you are willing to pay extra, in fact there is multiple areas of finish BMW can produce via BMW Individual.

^Oh i was not referring to the materials, hell you can leave your BMW to some tuner, and they can put whatever you like in it.
I was more talking about the futuristic approach of things, and design.

 

[silkeye]

ya this is generations behind.. rofl... dream on... it was 5 years ago 7 years ahead....
really be fair...
why those thick borders around the screens... the rest is really nice but that 2 screens... rofl

At this level it is not about whether BMW can do this or MB can do that in terms of an extra stitch or an extra gizmo. It is about if you are a Mercedes personor a BMW person. A S-Class person or a 7-Series person. All the stitching in the world would not bring me to the current BMW in lieu of this 222 S-Class, or even in lieu of the 221.

By pure sense of timing, the S-class is now a generation ahead. No logical person can deny this - it is a fact. F01 ~ 221, 222 = 221 + 1 => 222 ~ F01 + 1 (Insert chassis designation for A8, XJ or whatever).

well your math has some faults...
when u go by years or product numbers then u have to be correct and say w220<e65<w221<f01
a 7 series is always a couple of years after a merc, and has always some gadgets and some extras more.

but this time merc didnt really overtake em, there are so many features in the 7s that are still not available in the S-class.

but i admit, its always a matter of what a type of person you are. and im pretty sure that hardcore s- or 7- series fanatics wont change sides.
in my eyes its even a matter of who does the split between luxury and sportiveness better.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

What are these features that the 7 has that won't be available on the S Silkeye?

 

[LaArtist]

^HUD MAN..HUD
We must have HUD..we are fighter pilots

PS
I think he is meaning compared to the W221
