2017 E Coupe Gauge cluster question
I've been looking at a few 2017 E Coupes and they all seem to have the gauge cluster that has the analog gauges set in "tunnels" and the center of the dash has the square-ish number pad area for telephone access. When I look at the 2017 Sedans, they have what appears to be a newer dash setup that has 2 larger analog gauges, and the number pad is replaced with a more modern looking setup with 4 round AC vents in the center.
Is this newer dash available on 2017 coupes? Maybe I just didn't look at enough cars?

The saloon replacement for the W212 (W213) came out a year earlier than the Coupe (C207) which has now been replaced by the C238 platform. Which explains why you saw it on a 2017 saloon but not a 2017 Coupe.
You are describing the interior for the W213 / C238 models which are completely different cars to their predecessors and other than the engines they don't really share parts.

Hey, the 2017 Coupe looks much better than the 2018 model. Beside, a new engine E450 is coming out soon with a straight 6 and more power. For these reasons, I would not touch a 2018 model. Suggest you buy the 2017 Coupe or wait for the E450.

Thats a subjective view, not that I disagree personally. The new cars all just look the same.
To throw more controversy I prefer the A207 pre-facelift to the facelift externally.

I believe this comment (a new engine E450 is coming out soon with a straight 6...) has been discussed many times in the past, and proven to be totally false. The new E450 will continue with a V6 … the E53 is coming out with the straight 6. Please research before continuing to spread false information. If you continue to disbelieve, I refer you to the E450 DOG which is available in this (or another) forum.

Lets not get personal with each other (or take it that is what the other poster was trying to be). Its a topic for discussion in the C238 forum rather than here anyway now they have their own home at https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-c...brio-a238-248/
From the OP's question point of view, the answer is that the W213 (2017-) sedan's and W207 (2017) Coupe / Convertiobles are two different cars and the gauges as such are different and not swappable. The Coupe Cabriolet (W238) uplift came out a year later than the saloon, hence why the two are different.
