Hello Guys; Newbie Here

Hello everyone, my name is Seven-Paul Peralta. I am a Service Member stationed in Seoul, South Korea. I just sold my 04 M3 with only 5000 miles because I need a more luxurious and compliant ride. Don't get me wrong, I loved the M3, but I will undergo a surgery and need a nice ride for a year or so. I placed an order for a 06 E350 through a Diplomat Sales Program that MB GE offers to Service Members. It will take about 4 months to receive the vehicle. Well, enough said, here are the options:

Obsidian Black/Full Stone Leather
Sport Package
Premium w/Pano
Parktronic
Wood Leather Wheel
Split Fold Seats
Electric Trunk
Keyless Go
Xenons

Got a couple of questions for you guys:

1. Is 10% off MSRP a good deal?
2. Does anyone recommend the Hands Free Commo?

Thanks.

I like the added detail on the right fender of that M3. Was [she] standard equipment, or did you have to pay extra?

Yeah I think that's the chick magnet option.When you get the Benz you'll find out that the chick magnet is mounted inside the cab so they dont obstruct the view :p

Nice...I have almost the exact same specs minus the Pano and the split seats. If I knew the service would hook me up with a Benz overseas, I would have signed up quick. Hehe...Enjoy the ride..
