2012 E550 Coupe
I did notice the steering wheel, that's what confused me. I didn't know about the ILS option in Europe. I learn something everyday! Beautiful car by the way...it looks like my car's twin on the outside (If mine ever gets here!). I ordered the black interior with the black ash trim. Geez, I can't wait until I can post a thread like yours. Mine won't even be built until October 25th.

I was going to go for the blacl/black combo at first but then changed my mind and now I totally adore my red interior with the aluminum trims.
Post some photos of your car as soon as u get it

And even if they decide to change the L shaped DRL to straight ones in Europe I will be far from disappointed as Im much happier with the L shaped ones (more aggressive front look)

1. The new steering wheel design with shift paddles;
2. Colour instrument cluster;
3. COMAND ONLINE with internet conectivity;
4. New 7G tronic +;

Regarding Diamond Bright polish, if you have to pay for it then its a big NO but if you are getting it for free then I do recommend it.
It gives a showroom shine to the paint but is not worth the price, you will be able to pick up similar products at a much lower price online.
But the only good thing about Diamond Bright is that they gave me a certificate and 6 years warranty against any scratch or swirl marks and Ive got a cool 3D sticker on the inside of drivers door panel

His car is a US car and the mbusa brochure is meant for USA, I guess you missed the part that USA has nothing to do with Europe!!!

yes i know that but where i live we buy euro cars too and the dealer brings in only euro cars.
but good that you like it and yes you are correct your car possesses basically everything the 2012s have.
if you'd like i can verify it for you on EPC on your car's model year
please note that the differences between euro and ROW and US cars tend to be either package based eg. lack of 950 on E350C in USA
the entire production line has swapped to straight LEDs so no more hockeys for 2012 that I am sure even for 2012.

B8.5 Audi S5 3.0 TFSI Coupe
I've seen several 2012-MY E-Coupes and Cabrios here; AMG bodykitted ones have the hockey stick lights the standard bumper models have the straight bar ones, it's the same on the car configurator for Europe.
To me, it is a cost saving measure to fit the straight bar lamps as they're on most the other new models - so I prefer having the hockey stick lamps.
That and the fact that I'm sure it's a (plastic) chrome finish so is very likely to rot as with other exterior trim pieces that have the same type of finish - the GL has OEM chrome roof bars (part metal, part plastic coating) which the center pieces rotted after only 12 months, they got replaced under warranty but it's not exactly great quality for that to happen.

MY17 E43 Matte Selenite/Macchiato Beige, MY16 GLE350d Tenorite/Crystal Grey, MY17 B250
The E Coupe/Cabrio AMG bumper will switch to straight LEDs (no more hockey sticks) as of September production.
