Mercedes 2010 E350
Just wanted to share some pics of my 350, newbie

Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself and share some pics of my new E350, I picked her up last week at Sarasota MB, I traded in my 04 545i and just love the technology, look, and ride of this vehicle MB did their homework on this one. My favorite features are everything! but I really like the IPOD interface and DVD capability I can know listen to my DVD's of concerts while I drive, oh and I really like the massaging seats feature!

Look forward to viewing more posts and being a frequent visitor to the forum!

Nice car...

I'm little bit confusing...

It looks like your car has sport package... but how come your car has 4-spoke steering wheel not 3-spoke sport steering wheel?

I think W212 has the most confusing configurations ever....

Very pretty color! The rims are good IMHO because I don't like the 6 spoke AMG, too bad the AMG rims from the 211's arent offered on the 212.

Yeah guys thanks for the nice replies, the color is called palladium it was a little more for the color, and I really like the dark ash with the black leather too. I guess I was lucky Sarasota MB had this one in stock because originally I was looking at black on black until I saw this beauty!

Dont know about the steering wheel but it does have the sport pack the msrp was a little over 56k

And this is why Palladium is a nice color: it changes (and confuses) all the time. In dull lighting conditions it will look like a flat Steel Grey indeed. With plenty of sun it will look like a gold tinted Iridium Silver.

The car has the AMG front and rear spoiler, without the ILS package (a.o. LEDs). The interior lacks the the AMG styling though. Most of the time the AMG steering wheel isn't available due to certain options that are incompatible: like Distronic. It doesn't look like the car is equipped with this.

Very nice car though. I downloaded these pictures as a reference for my own future purchase. Still haven't decided yet whether I'm going for the Coupé or Sedan. Space is not an issue if it wasn't for the fact that I love massive cars however the styling of the W212 well... that rear huh. The coupé on the other hand has slightly improved styling but lacks the true luxury of the sedan.

Congrats with the car. One of the nicer ones I've seen around!

By the trapezoidal shape of the exhausts I can tell this is the Sports Sedan just like my Paladium Grey Sports Sedan with AMG wheels and 3-spoke steering (Luxury Sedan has oval shaped exhausts). Beautiful as it is. Congrats and Enjoy.

So, 3-spoke steering wheel is optional on E350 sport sedan? More confusing....

How did you get 3-spoke steering wheel?

What about 3-spoke wheel on E550 sport sedan? Standard or optional?

Just go to MB website, try to build the car and you will see 3-spoke steering wheel is a part of wheel package which cost $750. Sport package is free and it doesn't include 3-spoke steering wheel.
Wheel package is standard for E550.

Just wondering... I special ordered the heated steering wheel for my E550 sport. Does anyone know if they install it on the 3 spoke wheel?

If you mean little yellow "boxes" along a route (they are actually little yellow cars), then it's live traffic. Yellow means moderate to heavy. If they turn red then it means very heavy traffic. No yellow "boxes" means light traffic. At least that's the way it works on the 2009 W211 nav system......

On the 2009 W211 nav, you can turn on/off live traffic by going into the live traffic selection. I assume the 2010 W212 is the same.

Someone else with the W212 will know for certain.

The "yellow boxes" are just a visual. You can also select a specific highway/freeway and get a text description of any traffic, accidents, delays, etc..

Does anyone know why the 2010 E350 sunroof tilts up when the car is unlocked after parking with sunroof open overnight? Some say it's a feature, local MB dealer re-produced on a showroom model, but MB engineering has no explanation.
