Hello from Seattle.

Wats up MBWorld. After years of lurking here as a guest I finally decided to make my own account. Just wanted to check in and say hi to everyone.



Current mode of transportation: 2010 E550 4Matic

Thank you. Just picked it up on Saturday. Didn't really get a chance to do a whole lot to it. Tint is the first thing on my list for now

Welcome to MBWorld! Grats on the new E class! Tints are a great early option, especially on black.

Let us know if you ever decide to tackle the lighting. We can modernize her looks with new whiter lights

Window Tinting Scheduled for Monday. For now thats about it. There are a few minor issues I need to address first before considering any mods.

Apparently I need to do some sort of a firmware update to my Command so I can play media through BT without having to do external authorization every time I turn my car on and off. Not exactly a mod but very high on my to-do list.

Also it seems that one of the side "flippers" on my dynamic seat is not working. Its not really a huge deal, but I would want to get that fixed first before I do any kind of vanity mods.

On the list of things i want to get done in the next month or two are new cabin lights, new rims and possibly new exterior lighting (AZN Optics got me intrigued haha)

What are your thoughts on the car always hunting top gear? I'm still getting used to it shifting gears so early and keeping them so low. I know it's to save gas so I guess I'll have to get used to it. I wish the sports button would also remap the gear box to hold gears a little longer.

I had to drive mine from Portland to Seattle as soon as I got it. One of the first things I noticed while "testing it out" on I-5. Definitely not ideal, but you get used to it.

Thank you. I am hoping it lasts me for a while. 35k on the odometer so definitely has plenty of life left in it.

My c230k is currently pushing 140k and it only had 20k when I got it.
