Crikeys, here we see the E350 resting in it's natural habitat - we can't get much closer or the beast might awaken.

Nice look! 
I like the size of the rims any rubbing at all in the rear? How does it ride with the bilstein springs? I just picked up a 2008 E550 AMG package. I'm thinking about upgrading some things ...

Does the E-350 comes with the airmatic suspension? I personally don't like the airmatic crap. It makes the car feel so "Bloated" for the lack of a better word. It feels like i'm floating in a boat. 
I don't know...my CLK55 was just so stiff and sportier...I do miss it but the sedan was very much needed for my little one 
. It's so much easier transporting a 2yr old in and out of a sedan than it is a coupe! I would like to get coilovers but I know they're pretty expensive. I had H&R springs on the CLK but didn't like them as much as I kept hearing squeeking sounds as I drove...not sure if it was the springs or my bushings???

I never like it at all, i road in my friends E55 and hateded it. I like the more sporter ride feeling,

I love airmatic and the car really seems to respond well when it is at the stiffest setting, a very sporty tuning in my opinion for a heavy luxury sedan in the first place. Auto-leveling is very nice, being able to raise the car for snow driving (or going over a speed bump lol) is really nice as well.
But the primary downside is repair cost and part life... thus I can see the benefits and the downsides to both, but a more reliable system is definitely in the E350.

Lowering springs would be the cheapest way to do it (Eibach and H&R are both commonly used for this car) but if you have the money I say go for adjustable coilovers. As for the Vossen CV3 on 20s, they're gorgeous wheels. I believe the CV3s are also offered in 19s which I would probably go with since the 20s seem to look a little big and will reduce both ride quality and acceleration. 19s for the W211 seem to be a sweet spot. Then again, you can't go wrong with 20s so it's up to taste.

Maybe these. Haven't actually seen anyone install these on the forums yet though. They look like sport package bumpers and not AMG sport package bumper.

Those are definitely sport package bumpers with the accenting around the fog lights, the AMG bumpers did not have those. Those are really nice looking actually, sort of the Carlsson style that don't have the two piece look like most front lips and aren't the giant space ship looking XY-Style ones.

LemonSqueezy I contacted JLmotoring about that exact front lip and they told me it wouldn't fit my car... its made for 07-09 W211 non AMG bumper so im not sure I even ask if I could installed the E55 AMG due to the similarity of the bumpers they said it wont fit... AMGAffalterbach yes that lip looks awesome and also jlmotoring have rear diffusers and they said that the E55 AMG ones will fit my 09 E350....

2009 W211 E350 AMG Sport PKG
At first glance, there's no difference between the P2 bumper and the E63 AMG Bumper, but unfortunately, there's no lip for 07-09 P2 bumpers. I bought a CF Carlsson style lip from 3AMotors on eBay after verifying his claim stating that it is designed for non-amg bumpers but no luck; didn't fit. the "fins" towards the inside of the bumper on the AMG bumpers go in towards the center more. You can make the lip fit if you can have your body shop plastic weld the gap.
Now, with that said, I have CKS Coilovers for 2009 E350 (non-airmatic) and the CF Carlsson lip both for sale.
- Lip has never been mounted, only put up against the bumper to find out it didn't fit
- CKS Coilovers have around 7K miles, and I just cleaned them up but haven't had a chance to take pics and post them on the forums. Coilovers are in amazing condition; my mechanic said the shock is still pretty much brand new. I can throw in SWIFT Springs up front at an additional cost. If you don't know about SWIFT, do your research; they're a well-respected name in suspension.

The AMG sport package versus E63 AMG have slightly different bumpers.
Both look the same from the front, but the E63 AMG bumper has air vents on the driver and passenger sides - to vent the front brakes presumably.

Guess most AMG package cars are P2, but not all P2 cars are AMG.
