Terrible orange peel for a car that expensive. Unacceptable.

I don't know why Mercedes paint finishes are like that, but they are.

Is this what you guys are talking about? Is it just the tile floor reflecting?

All these cars have hideous looking wheels.

Its the "peel" or wavyness of the reflection. Contrasted to say a Lexus LS, that reflection would be like a mirror sharp.

That amount of peel would drive me insane.....

The M275/279 engines are amazing and have a spectacular 80+ pull that just doesn't stop. Any W222 pulls a massive premium due to the star on the hood but I think it's justified since they do luxury very well and look fantastic inside and out. The final edition is a car I would like to add to my collection at some point as is a W140 M120 in silver. The ultimates from Mercedes IMO outside the two doors and end caps of some of the greatest cars ever
