06 E350 Wagon, 05 MINI Cooper S Convertible
Picked up my 06 E350 Wagon
Did the factory tour and had lunch before seeing the new addition to our family. It was pretty neat to look down on all the "new babies" waiting for their owners to drive them home. Was told not to exceed 4000 RMPs or go over about 85 MPH, so I didn't really get to test out the new engine. (I did during a test drive) My owners manual says the car is limited to 130 MPH, I took the Euro spec car up past 150 MPH (240 KPH). I've read on different places that the car is limited to 155 MPH, can anyone confirm. I have the appearance/premium packages with the higher rated tires.
Anyway, the car is beautiful, it was love at first site and I am looking forward to getting to know it better.
I tried the 3-5-7 trick and did get to the menu but don't see any difference with anything including the Navi voice. Maybe it didn't stick...I'll have to try it again.

Congratulations and enjoy! Nice picture.
I just placed an order for an e350 sedan for delivery in late April/early May. I was really impressed with test drive at dealer. Good to see the "line" is working!

Congratulations
Looks beautiful...almost got the same color and configuration but decided to wait for the R Class. No one, and I mean NO ONE makes a better looking or performing wagon than MB! Enjoy it in good health....

NevadaJack,
Are you keeping your E320 or just adding to your "E class collection"?
Also if I recall you bought your E320 from Markusbenz. Did you do the european delivery through him also?
Nice looking wagon!

I did buy it from Mark but took delivery in the Nevada desert...not quite as exotic as ED with lunch and a tour of the factory but got a pretty good deal at the time.
I really came close to a decision on the E350 wagon but decided to splurge on the R.

The UK fuel figures for the estate version are given as:

Good luck with your very nice new car,
