CLE53 Cab
Feet Dry in Baltimore.

My E53 Cabriolet rolled off the boat at the VPC in Baltimore November 1st.
Yes it has a HUD. (I think the dealer had to do a bit of horsetrading to get it.)

I wonder how long it will sit there. Hopefully I will see it before Christmas.

Note that the E450 Coupe and Cabriolet are up on MBUSA.com.

First off, soooooooo jealous! Congrats on your new baby!

Yep the Cab is up there but two issues still outstanding...

1) No manuals for 2019 Cabriolet (though the Coupe is up there)
2) I can configure designo leather with the warmth and comfort package, something my dealer assured me was not possible. Also allows for brown glossy wood which my dealer showed me was also impossible with the leather.

The issue for the first one is solved by time... the latter, I might want to check with the dealer to possibly adjust my order.

Again, so jealous! Enjoy!

1. The 2018 E400 Manual should cover everything except the steering wheel and the E53 engine.
2. Download the 9/4/18 DOG in this forum.
This will show you the designo interior trim restrictions.
It will also show the "Warmth and Comfort" package as being delayed availability.
