'08 E350 4matic w/ amg, p1, pano
Decision to make...
I guess I should introduce myself here...I've been browswing for a while since I started working at a MB dealership a few months back. Seems like a great site with lots of information so I'll likely be hanging around a bit...if that's cool with all of you.
Anyways, I just sold my Subaru WRX because it was time to grow up and get something nicer plus I feel I should be driving what I'm selling![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
My question for all of you is a subjective one. I'm placing my order tomorrow (likely a dealer trade for us) on a 2008 E350 4matic with p1, AMG sport package, ipod integration and panorama sunroof. Obviously, since I work at the dealer I get a great lease rate so that's what I'm doing. My dilemma is purely color choice related haha. I can't decide if I want to go arctic white/black, iridium silver/black or black/black. I like how the pano roof breaks up the color of the roof and think it looks awesome in white/silver. But theres something about a Mercedes in black that I've always thought was classy. If you were in my shoes - what color would you go with? Thanks for your opinions!

08' E350 with P2 & AMG sports package, 03' BMW 325i
I would say Artic white (well I'm biased, I guess). Although Black is a beauty and really nice when it's clean and waxed. But it easily get dirty with just some dusts. It so hard to maintain to look nice and clean all the time. (I had a black color on my bimmer).

Well it looks like Arctic White/Black is way out in the lead here! That was my very first selection after I saw a client pick up his White/Black w/pano E63! My only problem w/ getting white is locating one. I'll likely have to pick up the shipping charges for it because I cannot get one through our inventory at this time (I need a car asap, my subaru is gone!). I can readily get black or silver. Hmm...I should probably just pony up the cash to get the exact car that I have wanted from the beginning (white/black). Unless you guys sway me another way before early tomorrow morning, I'll likely try to get the white one! Keep the opinions coming

Well, ended up with a iridium silver/black, p1, amg, ipod and pano equipped car. No whites available in my configuration for over 3 weeks and yeah, I dont have a car right now so that wasn't going to work. I decided that as awesome as black looks on a MB, I couldnt justify the upkeep for it. Thus, I sprung for my tried and true silver (this will be my 3rd silver variation on a vehicle). Im happy with my selection and it should be in late this week. I'll be sure to post pics

Well...I got the car on Monday and have been driving it in this terribly crappy weather we've had for the past 5 days (snow/slush) and the 4matic does wonders. With ESP it definitely outdoes my old Subaru WRX in terms of control in the slick stuff. Otherwise, I enjoy the luxury items and the pano roof is sweet. Probably going to tint the windows and put on an E63 spoiler and call it a day
(atleast for now!). Thanks for you all your input. Next time its nice out I'll snap a couple pics for fun.
