After many months of researching exactly what I wanted and trying to find the best pricing and after finally selling my CLK I was able to get my E320.

It's a new 05 with an early build date since it still has the older style console and the REST button with Appearance and Premium Packages.

Needless to say I am a very happy man right now (which is not exactly how I'd describe the wifey since I didn't mention any plans to get a new car this weekend, oops :embarrassed: )!

Now for the questions that I have thus far:

1. Will the 3-5-7 "trick" work to get video DVD's to play?
2. How can I go about lowering it via airmatic at the dealer?
3. Any cool and nifty "secrets" I should know about?

Sorry for the same old type of thread but I'm just too excited!

Here are some bad pics of my new baby...

 

I claim shotgun!

Sweet ride man, it's time to update your sig!

 

nice E, what city do you live in?

 

Thanks guys! No prob Vraa, I'm giving out rides for $5 each so I can help pay for this thing.

Alex: I live in Carson (you know, what you guys on the peninsula call the Ghetto).

 

5$ eh? I'll wash it for ya!

 

Nice Ride man!! Congrats, your gonna love it more and more every day.

 

wooooo samoan u finally got ur car!!!! good choice that one rocks!

 

Wow, I thought you were just going for a test drive ! ! ! !


Congratulations , I'm officially jealous of you ! !

 

Brian's wife thought he was just going for a test drive, too. :p

Congratulations Brian.....you will really enjoy it. Great ride.

 

Congrats on your new ride Brian!

 

Here's a tip...take it for a nice loooooongggg drive...and enjoy!!

Welcome to the W211 club!

 

Thanks for the very warm welcome guys. Update on the wife: had to pull out the secret weapon but I got her to come around last night, if you know what I mean . I actually left the car home today so that she could take it around and hopefully fall in love with it just as much as I did.

I'm definitely loving all the cool options it has. Should keep me busy for at least a few more days. I probably won't be driving it in to work just yet. I don't want all my co-workers to start talking.

 

You are full of smart moves ! ! !

 

Post some more photos taken in daylight!!
Enjoy your new ride.

 

:embarassed: Yeah, that's what she said.

I will try, it is dark by the time I get home. Maybe tomorrow morning I can snap some before leaving for work.

 

That reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend before I ordered my E...

Me: I'm not sure about the Parktronic, I don't think I need it. If I can park a big 4 wheel drive, I can surely park a sedan!?

Friend: True, but you are not considering a critical factor....

Me: And what would that be?

Friend: ...will your wife be driving the car?

Me: ....Parktronic is in....

 

Congratulations--I'm sure you're going to love it!! Also, congrats on getting the old-style console. I was in getting my car serviced and checked out the new cars. I definitely prefer the old-style console over the new version.

Enjoy!

 

Samoan_Ridah it's not the getto man.......tight ride.......

 

Looks sweet. Congrats

 

Congrats Brian ...... nice car!

 

Tiocfaidh ár lá!

 

Congrats, great color combo!!

 

Thanks, I like your color selection as well!

 

I tought it already had

 

I almost squeezed a tear out of my left eye last night when my baby hit 1,000 miles. It seems like just 3 weeks ago I was driving it home from the dealership, wait it was just 3 weeks ago. Oh forget it, I'm just happy I can finally let it rip! Well at least as much as this V6 will let me.

I was so excited and I wanted to take a picture and would you believe that as soon as I pulled into the driveway it hit 1001. My wife actually suggested that after I hit 1000 I get out and push it home so I could get my camera. Then I found out today that my camera was in the console the whole time.
