hey, i saw a car just like yours this morning. VERY nice!! the 5 spoke wheels look great, but they look smaller than 18" for some reason. the same wheel in 19" size would be perfect, preferably with 285mm rubber in the back.
can you post a pic of the front seats and the steering wheel if you have them? thanks!!
seriously, AMG pkg makes the E-class look so much better. AMG pkg iridium silver + nice tint + E63 trunk lip spoiler + lower front lip spoiler would be just amazing. <- actually this will be my car in 3 yrs

2010 E350 4Matic w/sport package
Just to clarify, adding the AMG package to the E350 is making the car VISUALLY identical to the E63 except for the E63 trunk lip spoiler and different wheels, and obviously the rear E63 and AMG emblem/badge and side 6.3 emblems? One other thing I noticed are the 2 "shark gils" (for lack of a better term) on sides of the front spoiler that is not on the AMG E350 kit spoiler correct?
I remember in the late 80's and early 90's when Mustang lovers would put the GT and 5.0 on their 4 cylinder Mustangs, curious if this is something people are doing with the E350,.....seems interesting. I would love to see a pic of someone who did this.
Thanks!

Anyone see a pic on this forum of a non-AMG E-Class, that has the AMG Sports Pkg with the front lip and/or E63 trunk lip spoiler?
Just curious.

EDIT - I see there is a cap that goes in place of the old emblem, does it look bad?

Got the grille from formymercedes.com, Jerry set me up. Just over $320 delivered. The grille is very easy to remove and install, 8 screws I believe. The emblem is a high quality metal Mercedes emblem $100.

Does AMG pkg include steering wheel mounted gear paddles?
=======
Yes, BUT, so you won’t be disappointed, for the paddles to work, you
have to completely STOP and shift it into the sport mode. This would
be a pain and - IMHO - make the MB paddle shifters about useless.
In contrast: My Corvette - with paddle shifters - can be shifted in and
out of sport mode at any time and at any speed. This is largely what
makes the paddle shifters fun to play with .. as the notion inspires ..
whether going 100 or 20!

My dealer is going to tint and put in remote starter for me for free ... only he doesn't know that yet 
PS.. what sort of HP increase can the chip give the car? Would love to know how to get the car to abot 300HP with the least expense (no supercharger, etc)

Powerchips has been reported to get about 15-20 additional hp, + the stock 268 brings it up to 280-290 hp. Torque is up about the same amount. I have heard good things about Powerchips as well. Cost - about $650.
