Our new 07 350

We picked up our 07 E350 last weekend and love it compared to our 03. It has the sports package, PII, trunk closer, steering wheel upgrade and parktronic.

I've got my hands full keeping it clean.

I guess I'll succumb to the '07s! At first I hated the facelifted W211, but now it's starting to grow on me! Your E350 looks pretty damn nice! Love the color...love the rims!!! Congrats on the new ride!!

Looks great -- congrats and good luck with it. By the way, shouldn't you have named this thread "Her new 07 350"?

A couple of stupid question:

1) on the front side markers. For pre 07 there are clear ones available on the net. It appears that the bumper redesign might just have changed the design of those. Can you verify this?
2) on the side mirrors. Is the actual glass part the same for both of your models? Those that are looking at getting the convex EURO mirrors might need to know that.

Thanx

If you were smart, you would have asked to have her stand by the car

amdeutsch had asked (pm'ed) for
Would it be possible for you to take a few more pics? Specifically I would be interested in the sensor locations of the parktronic on the front bumper, the actual parktronic front and rear displays in the cabin as well as the side bolsters of the front seats. The reason I ask about the seats is that the german site states you get regular seats if you pick a different interior, only black is supposed to give you the sport seats. Wondering if that holds true for the US version.

so I hope these answer the questions

Greg S had implied permission to post my PM. Thank You.

What about the rear parktronic?

Sorry, but I wasn't clear about the front. Is there a chance you could get all 3 of one side in one pic?

@ W211 Ryda

The E I drove had the cluster in white. HTH

Must be my eyes as I only see 2 sensors.

I was unclear in my reply. I was referring to the rear display within the cabin, probably on the inside roof section.

Thank you for your patience.

Have you noticed any differences in the handling and steering?

Yes there is; at least to my perception. I've driven an 07 E sport and an 06 regular. I prefer the 07 sport.

Basically the front, back, and side profiles. Just want to see the difference between the two. Thanks!

Um... we're talking about the car now, right?

Seriously, that black paint is awesome. I would have loved to order it, but it rains so much up here that it is just a nightmare to keep clean.
