Attention Grabber

I am suprised to see how many people, and the diversity of people, that compliment the car. Even down to gas station attendants, many people have said how much they love the look of the car. A lot also felt it has a "mean" look, in which I agree. I further enhanced the looks buy adding the AMG spoiler option and a 35% tint all round. I am 40 yrs old and this is the first sedan I have ever owned. I always had coupes and SUVs, but never a sedan. I truly love this car, it is awesome!

Cool Also surprised

First car I've had where stangers tell me how great it looks. Owned Saab 900T, Mazda RX-7 convertible, Nissan 300Z, etc. in past.
While all my friends have always remarked positivelyh on my cars, this is the first one where ALL of them are overwhelmed by the car.
Despite what many say, the e Class design is fantastic.

Congrats... I agree we get compliments on ours also... How much did you pay for the AMG spoiler and where did you get it? I know formymercedes.com sells an AMG spoiler for 299.00 painted. Mercedes has two types of spoilers for this car... An AMG one and a less aggressive one. I think its just a sport spoiler.... wondering if you got that one and not the AMG one.... Anyways..congrats...

Thanks and I have been in the family since 07' as a personal owner. My first Benz was an 08' CLK 550, another great car. As far as me overall, my parents first Benz was a new 87' 300E, I was 17 and bouncing off the walls when he brought it home. He tricked me and told me he was buying a 190!
I of course had the wheels painted white (it was white / navy) in guido fashion and would cruise w/ it, when I left my 87' Mustang GT home.

My friend own a customization shop in New Rochelle. He used to make rims for Will Castro of Unique Whips and now does full blown restos. He just did Mariano Rivera's new Challenger, in and out. I can't remember the cost right now, but it was the tru AMG spoiler, straight from them. He offered the knock offs, but I didn't want it.
