'09 car mirrors

Picked my car up from the factory on Monday, and I'm glad to say it came with the new mirrors, I think they look good.

Over the course of the following 60hrs, I managed to rack up nearly 2000 miles in it, as well as stopping of at the Nurburgring to thrash the new Nissan GT-R around the track.. report to follow !

Thank god that they changed those mirrors!!!

I'm sorry, but the old ones were just awful...

Looks very tasteful and IMO makes the front end look even a little lower and more aggressive than it really is.

Beautiful car...Enjoy her!

Congrats! Do you know (or anyone) if all New cars being built will have the New mirrors? or is it a regional thing? My car is on the ship New York bound... Thanks

When the car was being handed over I asked and the man said "These are the 09 model wing mirrors", that's all the information he gave.

I've seen a recently 09 delevery (last week) it did Not have the "wing mirrors".
I think I heard a build date after August in which it would have these "Mirrors"

EXIGES: Do you know what your start build date was? Thanks

Possably... When was the car ready for pick-up? and then add about 10-15 days. I think it takes about 10 days for a build.

Wow!! Looks stunning without the dumbo ears like mirrors!! nice!

It looks like the German Mercedes engineers are actually listening to our feedback!! Now, only if they do something about the interior, and they can bet I’ll be next in line for one!!!!

yup, if your buid date is late Aug or after it will come with new mirrors.
But give or take a week, you just never know what is happening with supply of old mirror at the factory.
