I got Mineral White Metallic. It doesn't show the dirt etc. as bad and has been much easier to keep clean looking.

I assume all higher end Benzes do this, but when it's wet out the car knows and verrrrrrryyyy lightly applies the brakes to clean off the rotors.

This was in the Pacifica. The LSs do that also BTW. This wasn't just wet rotors, there was something slimy on them

Really? I did not know that. I have the owner's manual up in my bedroom, I'm gonna scan through it and see what it says. I honestly thought that was a Mercedes thing only.
