Talking NEW E550 4MATIC

Just turned in my 08' CLK 550, which was a great ride, but I needed more size and AWD. This ride more than fullfilled my needs. Must say it is a technological marvel, awesome looking and a blast to drive. Tuesday, I am installing the AMG wing and 35% tint all around.

Congratulations on the new ride post more pics after Tuesday i think the W212 looks sooo much better with the rear wing and it seems as if practically everyone who's purchased the new E thus far has gotten this installed afterwards rightfully so !

2010 E550 Iridium Silver ; black int; burl walnut; rear & roof spoilers
congratulations ....it truly is an amazing vehicle......i have had mine for 2 months now & am still learning about it ........up here all the new E's come with standard panorama sunroof ....mine is also iridium silver with the pano , AMG body kit, black int & brown burl walnut trim ....i have added both the roof & rear trunk spoilers ......i believe they add to an already beauty-look car...............is the AMG 'wing' something different than a spoiler? have fun with your new toy ......i find myself getting up early on the weekend just so i can go for a drive ........you will no doubt like it more the longer you own it...

Welcome to the club! I hope you enjoy driving your new E as much as the rest of us!

I also have a spoiler (wing) on the way. The car is beautiful, but it needs a little help in the back...

Enjoy!

Thanks guys! To answer a couple questions: Yes, the wing is another term for spoiler. I drive it almost everyday, since it is my DD. I will post pics on Tues night. Not sure why MB doesnt include this spoiler already. My CLK 550 came with it. Same w/ my father's CLS 550, we added the spoiler to his also. What a difference.

You know that E500 and E550 are the same thing it's just other branding for the US.

??? The 550 stands for the 5.5 liter and the 500 was for the 5.0. Are you saying the 5.0 is still sold in Europe?

In Europe it is called the 500 for nostalgic reasons even though the cars use the 5.5l engine...

The wing is nice. I'm interested in getting one as well.

Who supplied it?

I simply went to my speed shop and told them to order me the AMG spoiler.

I can see how you like the new E, since it looks very much like your C now.
I also love the C class styling as well, it runs circles in every dept around the 3 series other than power. What is the deal w/ the 268hp engines in the 350??? Also the other models w/ the 228hp is a joke. I drove a 300 4matic as a loaner and it couldnt get out of its own way. MB needs to match the 328s and 335s output, only place it comes up short, they should also offer a C550!

Who did your garage floor, looks awesome! My garage is begging for it. It is filled w/ the cars in my sig and has concrete floors and unpainted walls! Come spring I am blowing it out like you did.
