I'm an MB Virgin and I Just Can't Wait for my first time

New MB customer, New poster that found this board 3 days ago. Some awesone stuff in here, all I can say is I have the MB fever. I feel like a virgin going to her first "experience" (I am male by the way in case anyone gets any ideas).

I have on order an 2006 E500 that was supposed to be here this weekend, but alas "it missed the boat from Germany" (again) and now it is not due for another 3 weeks. I actually ordered the car 6 weeks ago, so needless to say I am quite anxious to get it.

Have been a Lexus dude now for over 10 years, owning all models (except that hideous LS, sorry if I offend) including my latest SC430 and GX470 (wifes car). Finally moving on to bigger and better things.

The car I ordered is the E500, Designo Mocha Black / Espresso Edition, 321 AMG sports Pckg, Premium Package, Keyless GO, Satellite Radio, Rear Spolier and Blue Door Sills.

There are 2 options I liked they simply did not have: Panoramic Sunroof and Xenon Headlights.

Having not actually seen my car with all the options I picked, I thought I could use a little help:

1. Does anyone have pics of the interior with the Designo Mocha
2. Does the AMG Sports Package or any of the options I chose come with the Chrome instrument panel, or is it the regular black one?
3. Does the Keyless GO work for the trunk as well, or only door/ignition?
4. I have a Verizon Blackberry phone, can anyone reccomend a clean and easy to install hands free hookup.

Thanks for all the wonderful info on this board, and I appreciate in advance any help.

G

welcome to the forum and the ownership of a great car. The E500 lacks very little, and looks like you got a well loaded car anyway.. you'll love it.

i added the Xenon's for a small price as I got a good scoop on two for sale in new condition, but you can have the dealer add them for aprox $1800.. most stuff that you want to add can be done, and the best prices (usually) can be found by emailing Steve@MBenzNL.com

good luck

If you stand near the trunk with the key in your pocket, when you squeeze the trunk open paddle, the trunk will pop open. To others it will be locked.
