Just Ordered a MB
Hi guys,
I'm officially de-lurking (lol). I've been reading posts on the forum for a long time and a couple of weeks ago I finally ordered an E350. Here are the specs:
2011 E350 Luxury
Palladium silver
Black leather
Burl walnut
Premium 2
Drivers assistance package
Parktronic
Drive-dynamic multicontour driver seat with massage
Split-folding rear seats
iPod integration kit
The only thing I was on the fence about, and decided not to get, was the panoramic sunroof. I usually keep my cars for a long time and I wanted to avoid as many squeaks and rattles as possible (long term). From reading the forum I understood the coolness factor of it but in the end I decided I'd be happy without it![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Anyway, my order went in a couple of weeks ago so I have about 10 weeks of waiting to do (which is VERY hard!). I look forward to posting pics when it finally arrives!
I might have a bunch of irritating questions between now and then (or even after it arrives) but bear with me! I promise to do that unheard of thing and actually read the manual!![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
p.s. bonus points to anyone who understands my username

Congrats
Mine is almost the same as your except I have the sport version with 4matic.
If I had to do it over I would not have purchased the drivers dynamic multi contour seat.
My last car was a BMW 335xi.

Thanks for the nice welcome ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Really? How come? Did you think it wasn't worth it after you got it, or is it giving you problems or something?
Yeah, I waited a long time too. I've spent lot of time lurking here and there's been a lot of great info which helped me when it was time to order. Hope you get to order yours soon.
Hey thanks Tom, I downloaded it. It will give me something to do for the next 2 1/2 months while I wait. lol.
You're right, it is like the day before x-mas! Only it seems like a very, very LONG day.
My screen name is the name of my favorite poet. After I made that username I thought, "How dumb is that, to use that name for a MB forum? What was I thinking?" LOL! But now I guess I'm stuck with it.
Yeah, I kind of agonized about the color. I knew everything else I wanted pretty much right away but it took me a long time to decide on Palladium Silver. I was thinking Steel Grey for a while but my current car is a very similar color and I wanted something a little different.

Multicontour Seat
The lumbar on the multicontour is not as good. It only has a high and low bladder so you can't move it up and down. The lumbar on the stock seat is much better.
The leg extensions is a joke, it only moves a couple of inches
