2. Considering the Frozen Black (matte) but have been scared away by what I've read regarding the upkeep - anyone have any thoughts/experience with this?

I was shocked at how expensive wheel tire insurance is ($3,700), for three years, but bit the bullet given my car has the 688M rim.

Car is astonishingly quick off the line. It pulls like an absolute freight train (much harder than the sl63 I had a few years back). I can't imagine what an f90 feels like.

Steering feel is great as well, though you don't ever forget it's a big heavy car.

Not overly impressed with the Dakota leather, but I wanted cognac so made the sacrifice.

Had tint put on pre delivery, and added the cerium grey fender badges (oem) that are included on the European and Canadian cars.

Anyways - a few exterior pics: (not shown are the black kidney grilles).

Yet to take pics of the interior, but it's cognac with ash grey wood trim and ceramic controls - which look great, but show finger prints like crazy!
For what it's worth I went with 20's on my order. I'm going to upgrade sidewall +5 as soon as I get delivery. A few members have done it and say it works great.

I did test drive the 20's on Northern Blvd though and it wasn't as rough as I thought it would be but it's possible to pop em regardless given the NYC streets.
