(i can't get the 030 pak in canada so i guess it might be a bit faster to build).....

That seems awfully fast, but that's great if it's true. The normal time on a special-order non-AMG car is 60 days, so I'd be surprised if you get an AMG faster than a regular E350.

Hi,

It it possible that you get your car in May. As you can see in my signature, mine is currently in production (might be finalized this week) and I ordered my car on August 22nd (NetStar-entry). Delivery depends on your local market and dealer allocations (so you can't say: "In the US, you have to wait xxx months and in Canad yyy months) - it differs locally.

It's not an issue if a car gets 030 or not. The building-process only takes 1-2 weeks, no matter what options you take. The only thing that could delay production is designo, but as soon as the production begins, even that doesn't matter anymore...

Hi,
I ordered my 55 with Designo interior trim yesterday (Jan 4) and should be expecting it no later than late April. BTW the car was ordered through Richmond MB.
