Pics of 2009 with new mirrors?

not sure why the fifth MB matters, some ppl's definition of noisy are jsut different. This is my first MB but my fifth car, coming from toyota, nissan, infiniit and bmw. this car by far has a clear distinctive wind noise from its mirrors when driving around 50-60.
Even MB recognizes it, hence the newer, streamlined, and smaller new mirrors. check out the new GLK, it uses the new 09 mirrors as well.

The what?
I'm not sure what "the hind" might be but you may have failed to notice that the "old" mirrors have the same black plastic at the bottom. All that's changed is the upper part.

Why does some say the mirrors is causing the noise, to me it sounds like the front door windows rather, I hear no diff if mirrors are folded in.

Yeh I took delivery of an 09 350 at the end of January and I got the 08 mirrors that fold.
I'm a huge fan of the folding mirrors so I'm glad they haven't changed them yet for Canadian production. I also got seat memory and the compass in the rearview which I thought was standard on all c's, but apparently they didn't have them before this year.

the first gen are sweet... minus the squeaks and the fact that they are HUGE and have a chrome top part to them .... =p I like the 2nd gen with black. It totally blends in... but I have yet to see them in person, perhaps I'll swing by the dealership and take a gander..

I've got my C220 CDI late October 2008 and I have the new type mirrors and they are folding.
I know also the other type and they are squarer indeed but same time they offer better visibility I suppose.
