BTW, I'm not the only one on the street with a Pewter W211. The other guy has Pewter/Stone.

2005 E500 Silver/Charcoal
E500
Found a dealer that has a Brilliant Silver 05 e500. Hopefully close the deal today. Is 5k off MRSP a good discount for the Bay Area? Look foward to join the chat on this board.
thanks...
thanks...

As BudC said, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". My wife and I wanted brilliant silver/charcoal but the dealer made such a deal on the pewter/ash that we could not pass it up. We recent had the car in for service and had a brilliant silver/charcoal E500 as a loaner. After a little over a year with our car, both of us now think our pewter/ash car is a much better color combination. We have complained about the ash getting dirty too quickly but feel it is worth the extra effort to keep it looking nice. Maybe we have just gotten used to it but we would not change now.
However, that said, the real thing is what makes you happy. Go for what you want, not what someone else recommends.

Hubby has Pewter/Stone (pic in sig)
Very elegant color combo, IMHO. Pewter hides dirt very well. The stone interior, though, gets dirty if you just look at it funny.

Pewter or Silver
We just got our 2005 E500 and too were torn with the silver pewter dilemma. We ended up going with Pewter Charcoal combo and love it. I will try and snap some pics this afternoon. The only reason we didn't go with Silver is my father in law to be bought the silver ash one the same afternoon. I like silver but have kind of reserved it for AMG cars. Once I find some 19's and lower it then the car will be perfect.
I am very happy with the color and think it was a good choice for us.

w211 & w124
I got Silver because I love it and my CLK was also silver but after seeing a few Pewters around I am really likeing it a lot. If I had to do it over again I think I may have gone with Pewter.

I guess you just recently updated your signature picture. Seeing it brings up a question: Do you get a "fleet discount" at your MB dealer? Usually, if you have more than 2 cars you can negotiate a discounted service rate. I am not joking, a lot of other brands do it, so MB might.
Stupid quote: "Why is it that all the people in low-income housing have all the nice cars?" You should post this under your picture (as a joke of course).
Just a stupid thought,

I like that quote...pretty good. Our dealer has treated us very well over the years but now with new ownership, things have changed and might have to find a new dealer for the next purchase. We also have a '85 300SD not worth showing...LOL. But the car runs like a champ with over 210,000 miles. Recently with the cold spell here Chi-Town the 300SD (Diesel) wouldn't start and forgot to plug in the block heater.
Luckly, the new breed of diesel doesn't have this problem. Sorry to hijack your post yahooe500. Now back to your original question about Pewter.

I'd bet 75% of the E's that have been built for the US market are Brilliant Silver! (Of course that's because most of the E class colors for you to choose from are variations of the color silver.)
