1) Don't drive it; just keep admiring it while dreamin' about a beautiful day.
2) Wondering how you keep that vibrator (Harley) clean that you are driving?

It takes about 4 hours to clean and shine all the nooks and crannies on the Harley. I don't have enough time left over to maintain a black car.

The facelift really looks good, makes the car look more worthy of the price than before.

Oh my god, that is one beautiful Car, I would love to get my hands on the 07. I like the front bumper and the new side mirror.

It's probably been beaten to death, but are rear LEDs available on 07s? Are they standard, come with the sport package or not at all?

amdeutsch - there is three per side. The 3rd is on the left of the pic under the grill (on the bumper)

Bud - It steers and brakes much better than pre 07's.

We drove a 06 E500 that was on the lot too and I think the new 350's are closer to the 500's than the older 320's in the power department.

Great - I was hoping for LED lights, but the brochure didn't mention them.

Thanx Greg S. D'oh, finally put the two pics together to see what you meant.

Are the front yellow side markers on your 07 a different shape than on your other one. It appears that way. Unfortunately my dealer doesn't have a way to compare as all he has is 07s.

Yes, they are different. The 07's are longer.

Rds...

Greg,

Does the 07 have RDS and does it display on the MFD?
Did they add the clock to the COMAND Display by any chance?
Do you have satellite by any chance? when displaying the song that's on, does it show up on the MFD or do you just get the channel number?

Car looks awesome btw!

The comment about the brakes.... is right. The 07 has a new hydraulic unit. The pump is very different looking than the previous version.

Ohhhhhhh you should take a picture of the headlights in the night time... The new driving lamp on the inner lights is awesome looking. It finally matches the color of the Xenon bulb. I already looked to.. the bulb is not interchangeable to the previous xenons...like mine.
