2010 lux e-350
Exhaust styling confusion

Hey everyone, I ordered a 2010 E-350 Luxury Sedan back in February, and it is scheduled to arrive later this month. Anyway, I have been seeing more and more 2010 e-classes around town and I noticed that some have a flush to the bumper exhaust while others have a rounded, non-flush style. Im a little confused about which style my E-350 will have. I hope it has the flush exhaust system because I really cant stand the other style. The car is an E-350 4-matic luxury sedan with Luxury package 1 and 2, driving assist package, and a panoramic sun roof (and some more goodies that I know will not affect the exhaust style so il list them later). Oh, and the car is quartz blue(not important, but I know someone will ask). Thanks!

The luxury version comes with the oval tail pipes while the sport comes with the rectangular ones that look flush.

+1 But I like the, less common, Oval version on my MY10 E350 versus the, more common, Sport edition exhausts.

Any pics? All the ones I saw in my dealership are rectangular shape.

The Sports Sedan has the diamond (or parallelogram) shaped exhaust opposed to the oval shaped for Luxury Sedan. This is one of the differences between the Sports and Luxury Sedans. In general, Luxury is tuned for more comfort and Sports is tuned more for performance (But they both perform comfortably). I'm wondering if the transmission mode on Luxury Sedan defaults to 'S' unlike the Sports defaults to 'C'.

Luxury defaults to C (Comfort).

All 2010+ MBs default to "C" (which will be renamed "E" for Economy for 2011 on most models) for fuel economy reasons.
