Smile New W211 Owner - Just sayin "Hi!"

Sold my beloved '02 CLK 430 2wks back and was itchin to get back into another benzo... so picked up this baby 5 days ago and thought I'd formally say "Hi!" to the W211 forum

'03 W211 E320 Sport, Black/Charcoal
Sport Package, Xenons, Panoramic Roof, Solar Panels, Tinted Windows...

Love this car... every bit a MB should be..

Pretty much stock for now. So far, debadged it, filled in front plate holes, clay/buff/polish/waxed & added some SC accessories to make it homey... Ordered some aluminum door pins to replace the OEM plastic ones... looking to lower, rims, bodykit, exhaust and maybe euro nav... but, those will come slowly

Here are some pics of my humble ride:

There's something good-sinister and XY-chromosome about the Black/Charcoal color combination that no other combination equals. She Who Must Be Obeyed wouldn't hear of it, though, so we've got the wussy Desert Silver/Stone combination.

Is the metallic surround around the gear shifter, and the metallic shifter itself, part of the Sport Package, or did you add it?

Hi. I am also a new member to this forum. I'm also new to the MB world, just got my first MB (E500) in the beginning of May - custom ordered in January.

I've spent a little time lurking around the forums trying to get oriented to my car, features, how to use, etc. It seems that there is a wealth of info in these forums, thanks to the contributions of so many people, and I look forward to getting to know my car, and the others in this forum better over time.

I'll try to post some pictures when I get a chance.

Trim rings

Front headlight trim rings look great. I also put the rears on. I think they look great. I think I got them at Performance Products. Jimbo
