thumbs up on the face lift version

I don't know what all you guys, who are against the face-lifted version , why you think its bad.. ..(maybe because you want to support your 03 - 06 my)

but I think the face lifted is definetly a big enhancement , makes the car now look like a 50 Thousand car. This was my previous gripe with the 03-06 was that it didn't look 50K, but now it looks more symeterical , sharper , and it definetly stands out more.

yesterday, one of my neighbor had a silver 07 with blue windows, lowered with 19 wheels with an AMG/Sport package and that really caught my attention , MB did the face lift right !

That car (AMG package, 19" wheels, blue appearance/amg glass) is a lot more then your regular 03-06 or even a regular 07. You are not comparing apples to apples.

I like them both.. I dont think the 07 is that major of a change I doubt none E class owners or MB fans will notice.

Sounds to me like what you saw was an E63...the 350/550 have a "333" Sport Package available but it is not an AMG package, so if the car that caught your attention had an AMG front bumper it was indeed an E63
