Purchasing a 2015 S-Class 550 on Friday. Can not wait to finally have my very own MB. My wife has a MB GLK 350.

Thanks! I'm traveling out of town to pick it up on Friday. Will definitely post some pics when I can. Looking forward to learning all I can about the s550.

Default Wow!!!

Purchased a 2015 S550 on Friday. The car is absolutely beautiful. Exceeding everything I expected. I’ve been up all evening getting familiar with the car and it’s features.

Default Vibration

I test drove the car on Friday and everything seemed perfect. The ride was so smooth. After getting it out on the highway this weekend, I've noticed vibrations in the inside at high speeds, mostly 70+. Was told the tires probably needed road force balanced. Any thoughts?

It could be the tires - did you feel it during acceleration or braking or both? Did the vibration stop if you went slower or faster?

I can’t recall any vibration during acceleration or braking. I’ve only noticed it at high speeds. At 55-60, it’s smooth but as soon as I get up above that I can feel the vibration.

Hard to say for sure, if you have a trusted/honest tire shop; swing by and ask their opinion. It sounds like they may just be out of balance, which is an easy fix.
