2010 E550 4Matic
Finally Took Delivery of E550!
Yesterday was the best birthday gift to myself! 
After 8 weeks of waiting and waiting for my E550 Sport 4Matic, I finally drove it home to blow out the b-day candles on my cake.
Here are the specs:
Artic White w/black interior and black ash wood trim
Pano
Split fold rear seats (Free Option due to dealer mistake)
AMG Spoiler
P2
Multi-Dynamic Contour Seats
3M Clear Bra (Install this Friday)
Pics will soon come after the clear bra install.
WORTH THE WAIT AND MY NEIGHBORS CAN'T TAKE IT!!!!!

I just got word my 2011 E550 4matic is built and "on the boat". Unfortanatley my rep told me they have to "hold" it until they get a release date from MB. Have to wait for the 2010's to go. Bummer.

Congrats! Nice to treat yourself to a little present. 
If I may ask a favor, can you take a pic of your interior door panel? Apparently May+ Production W212's have "revised door panels" to improve protection in Side Impacts, according to the IIHS.
I was wondering if anything was noticeable in the change. IIHS is always oddly secretive regarding what gets changed when they state "Revised Interior Door Panels".
Thanks.

No, lol! I'd never ask that, hehe.
Just an interior pic pointed at the door.
No biggie if you can't.
I just had a weird realization. Originally the IIHS stated that W212's with "door panel revisions" were done after *MARCH of 2010*, this was written on their site when I bought my car (when I double checked), and also, in the W212's IIHS Video, the guy states "Cars after March 2010".
Then, all of a sudden, in the recent week/s, it says (on the Website), that cars built after APRIL 2010 got the revision.... Kinda fishy.
Either way, nothing that I'm tripping on, as I'm sure however M-B originally intended the car interior panel to "perform" is still better than anything else out there, and simply didn't cater to certain areas the IIHS requires to get a perfect score on the Test or something. But the situations just got me a bit curious.
Thanks.
