The Black card is super exclusive. Gotta have big bucks to have one. Tons of perks come with it.

yup, the black card isn't even something you can get if you want, you have to have tons of money, social status, etc.... i think paris hilton has one right?

but in terms of the car, what's special about the black compared to others?

It's a $2,400.00 a year membership fee. You get some perks with it "Concierge service comes to mind, access to some exlucsive events, etc". When you spend over $125,000 a month on your AMEX and meet a few other criteria they mail the membership presentation to you.

In reply to some of the questions/comments...the owner is from Arizona. He is in real estate and his house is much bigger when you see the whole thing. This isn't that important but he is a brother. I found the post on www.mbworld.org in the cls55 section.
