2007 E350 4matic
New Member - ordered E350W4

Hey I'm new here. I ordered an E350 4matic on 2/21/07 and just found out it has been built. It should ship by the 30th of this month and then take 14 days. Thats what my sales guy told me.

Specs:
E350 4matic, Arctic White, Black leather, P2, Sport, Pano, Ipod, Split rear seats.

Plan to get the E63 trunk spoiler and replace the mercedes hood emblem with the flat one. I'm also thinking of replacing the front bumper with the key to the cure style AMG front bumper or get something from Brabus, etc.

Congrats!! Is this your first MB? Love the color combo. My next MB will be white. My E63 spoiler is in route to me as I type this. You'll soon find out that once the mod bug bites, you're toast.

This is my first MB. Yet my brother has an '04 ML500 with the Inspiraton Package. I come from owning a modded chevy 2door tahoe so the mod bug has already bitten. But now everything is going to be 10x more expensive.

Uh, yeah, you could say that.

Congratulations. The 211 looks very nice in white.

I was planning on replacing hood emblem until I saw that there was already an emblem in the top of the grill. Thought it would look strange to have another one.

I had actually noticed that too back in Feb when I was looking to order and forgot about that. I'll pick one up and see how it will look like.

Also does anyone know if the front yellow reflectors in the bumper of the 07's come out easy so they can be painted white?

Those yellow reflectors are part of the MV safety standards for NA. If you remove them or change them to white, your car would no longer be compliant or "legal". In the event that your car is involved in a night time collision, the lack of proper reflectors could become a relevant issue. Something to consider before you remove them.

I know the pano roof gives you glass over the rear seat, but does it provide a larger sun roof opening when open?

Congrats. You'll love it. Gotta love the black interior. I won't buy anything but that anymore. Had ours in for service and got an 07 C230 Sport as a loaner. With only 700 miles the ash colored mats looked trashed and the dorr panels smudged. Black, although hot in the summer will stand the test of time. I can deal with the visible dust. Post some pics when you get it. Oh, curious which wheels you get with yours. You'll see my posts on the threads about the sport wheels. Some are machine polished on the face. Others are all painted like mine and pretty dull. As far as I know there's no identifying or specifying, just a luck of the draw. Enjoy your new ride. It'll be a beauty.

The car came in this morning and I'm picking it up tomorrow. I'm assuming the wheels will be non-machined. All the newer E's on the lot are that way and the ones that have been sitting awhile are machined. I'll hopefully post some pics tomorrow.

At first I was going to change out the star, but like it has been said I thought the duplicated emblem would be worse. After driving the car, I actally like seeing it out there on the bow, as cheezy as it sounds, it feels good to see the star...
