I had one for my 2011 GLK - It made some difference in the corners, but the GLK wasn't really a sports car. I was thinking maybe for the E350 I have coming at the end of the month, but the last time I ordered the bar, the first one came all beat up and nicked. I finally got a replacement after several emails. The guy (can't remember his name), was nice and accommodating. I should have kept it a little while longer just to see if I could dry-fit to the new car. He only makes the one bar, those 4 cars are basically the same thing. I wonder if there's any difference for the 2012 in mounting and placement since they have the new motor now? I'm sure he'll reply, give it some time - the part is well made. M.
