Just need an opinion which color do you like for E500 sport 2004. Want to buy one asap and still confused with color.

1. Black (which black is the one on E55 AMG? is it obsedian, jade black)?

2. Tectite Gray

3. Silver

Which color do you like? I want the car to look sportier while looks rich.

Thanks.

Bang for Buck and ease of living with it...............Obsidian Black is a knockout.........too many Silver Benz cars out there already.

Hi,


Be original and stick with German Silver, Black and White can get very dirty quickly

HELL ONA HARLEY

Saw a study poll on the tube and this is how it went down.... as far as the most popular.....
1. silver
2. white
3. black
4. red
I forget the rest, but believe it or not the least popular (or chosen) color was blue.....

Get Tectite. Just look at Lionheads car, it is by far the nicest looking E500 I have seen.

Depends on where you live. If it is in an area where there is little rain or snow then Black, Tectite, or White are great looking. Silver has to be your choice (of those listed) if you will be driving on roads that require frequent car washes.

The new Granite as well as Pewter look nice too if you want something a little different although they are both colors shared with the C Class. Platinum Blue if you want something unique to the E Class although I have seen an M Class in that color too.

When you say "sport" I assume you are referring to the "appearance package" and not the AMG package. The Appearance Package wheels compliment all of your options but do blend in best with the Silver, Granite, Pewter, and Platinum in my opinion. The AMG style wheels better suit the darker colors, especially the blacks.

Tectite is rich and sporty, not as bad as black to keep clean but different enough from silver

Brilliant silver - easy to clean, show dirt well, and quite brilliant in the right light

As Derek said it earlier Obsedian Black is a knockout. Put some zaino on top and you have yourself a car that turns heads!

In my case, I already had a white car and a silver one, so the decision was easier.

Have you ever noticed that almost all the Mercedes limosines that serve royalties around the world are Black.

You can't go wrong with any of the colors. I really like black but with a '02 S500 and '01 E320 in black already...I decided to go with Tectite Grey. We had a '91 560SEL in the Pearl Black (similar to obsidian black) and that was very nice also. We also have a '85 Smoke Silver 300SD. I would suggest going to the dealer and check all the colors and decide yourself.

Jade black!!! I have a Jade Black 320 and I love it.

The cool thing about Jade Black is that it looks like 3 different colors, depending on the surroundings. In low light, the car looks black. In overcast or indirect light, from a distance, the car actually looks like a dark gray (similar to Obsidian Black). In direct sunlight, the car is deep metalic forest green.

I've had more comments on the color of my car than anything else. Its also a fairly rare color. Not many people get Jade Black.

Silver is a woefully overdone color. Every Benz I see is silver these days. Try something unique. I am really glad I did.

jade black is definately the way to go...car looks black at night, but looks like a very nice metallic dark green in sunlight (looks awsome in the sun)...pretty much everything else aploato says is true...its unique and very rare compared to silver or any of the other blacks. might be hard to keep clean, though. regardless, i'd go with a darker color, and stay away from silver.

OBsidian Black Too many Silver and Desert Silver in my area

In the Northeast, silver is the easiest to keep clean. The bitter cold we have been having (-25 last Friday night) makes it very difficult to wash any vehicle, so the silver usually holds up the best.

I went with Pewter Silver. I have always had brown or beige cars. The Pewter has brown tones and so it satified my desire for a warm color (brown, red, white etc. are warm colors and black, silver blue etc. are cold) along with my desire for change and a classy color. Pewter filled that bill. I also agree that Granite and Tectite are knockout.

A silver with blue in it, a crimson red, and a dark blue.

Nearly EVERY new E Class I saw in L.A. recently was either black or silver. I like silver, but there are other colors.

You can never go wrong with Black - I dont care where you live - black is sexy - A Benz ALWAYS looks great in Black

I have a black/black 04 E320 & my wife an obsidian black / black 03 S430 - the difference being since I get to see them sitting side by side in the garage (outside they both look black) the reg. black is a much deeper glossy black - the obsidian is more like a deep black charcoal metallic (schwarz metalik) which is the most popular black sold in Germany - I guess because of the metallic flake. To me you can only appreciate the beauty of the obsidian when the car is absolutely spotless and the sun is shining (where here in texas it does almost everyday) and then you can see the deep yet subtle sheen of the obsidian (obsidian is a volcanic rock) - so it has a deep burgandy tinge to it.

I almost ordered the Tectite which was also one of my favorites - I didnt because one of my friend's did instead and I didnt want to have the same car.

We almost bought an AMG sport package S430 Tectite/stone with Chessnutt wood - talk about sex on wheels - it looked awesome - they wouldnt work with me on the numbers though so we got the obsidian - thos A.holes are still sitting on the beauty of a car 4 months later - serves them right!

Decisions, decisions
