The center gauge screen...
Something interesting I noticed... I had a loaner vehicle which was a luxury 2009 model with p1 and the center screen was really quite ugly- it was a brown/orange/cat pee color... I was pretty sure that wasn't the way mine was and sure enough when I got my car back i confirmed it... My screen on the 08 with luxury and p2 had a white/blue display. Is thus something different that comes with p2 or was this a change with the 2009 and up models? The display screen is in the center of the speedo - not the radio display. Any thoughts? Why is it different?

Weird. The center gauges on all the MBZ's I've owned -- dating back to 2002 -- (e sedan, ml light truck, c 300, and e350 coupe) have had blue gauges.

my 2009 with P2 has blue and white. Im guessing there is something wrong with the loaner one.

No, no cats... but the loaner had P1... so do P1 cars have this different color display vs. our P2 cars? I'm looking around trying to find pictures - I wish I had taken photos of it when I had the loaner still... Just odd.

I've got P1 Luxury and have the white/blue gauges. Man I'm glad I don't have the cat urine color.

Could it have been dimmed "night mode"? That may make it look more green in daylight.

Yes -- those gauges... perhaps it was just a defective display then.
