Its hard to find a sweet spot between comfort and looks.
But wherever youre happy with.
Imo, bags is the way to go. Lift up and down with a push of a button and i heard the ride is more comfortable than stock even when lowered. Although easily 5x more expensive than coils. Now coilovers on the other hand, just try a few test drives with height and comfort and once youre happy with it, stick to it. Thats what i did.

I'm still waiting for someone to try coils on the 4matic and let us know if the offerings for the RWD models work for us... so far no one seems to know. Talked to a few shops about bags, but 2/3 say it can't be done because the front sway bar is too close to the axle... and in order to fit properly, you'd either have to have a custom sway bar built ($$$) or run without it (uh, no)... but since it's not a performance car, I don't see why you couldn't install the bags and set it up so that it doesn't hit the sway bar... I think they said if I did it, I wouldn't be able to lay frame, which I don't care about at all... so it might be worth a try. If I feel like spending the money to experiment lol

That does look pretty good actually and im sure it matches your wheels nicely too. But you know Plasti - Dip looks cheap and tacky once oxidation takes place. But its a good way,of seeing how it will look on your car. I would wrap it if you are planning on keeping it for a while.

Yep, that's what I am thinking to do too.
I am trying out different colours.
There is also burnt copper I want to try.

Yeah that would look nice too, we would need to see a comparison. I think if you go glossy instead of matte it would look better, nothing on your car is matte. I would suggest buying the Metalizer to spray on top of the base coat and then hit it with maybe one of the candy gloss finishers to give it that clear coat effect. There is endless combinations with plasti dip.

unfortunately it will never look as glossy as the actual glossy is.. not with plasti dip 
(
wrap ,paint or peelable auto paint (similar to plasti dip but glossy , but me personally had a tough time applying it , it looked like an orange skin every time i applied it , unless i did smth wrong)

They are the Vertini RF1.1 in brushed titanium and per BlownS4's other thread on here about the new wheels, the specs are:
"Specs are F 19x8.5 35 offset and R 19x9.5 40 offset."
BlownS4 - Stunning wheels and look great with white. And thanks for sharing as I'm considering these same rims. Of course, I've now got your car as a reference for these wheels on a white W212 and Diesel #2's car in gray but I can't seem to find these in a picture on a black W212 like mine.

Just cleaned the wheels thoroughly. They sure do sparkle under the sun. And might i add tire shine galore
