2011 E350 Ordered .. Needed to Downsize
Well there are no 2010 models that can be acquired to meet my specs. I really like the LED daytime running lamps, so it required P2 for MY2010. That is not the case for 2011 provided you get the Sport package and I am satisfied with P1 for this model.
I am coming down from an E63 due to the fact that I am semi-retired I need to downsize. I was tempted with the 550 (well remember I am driving an E63) but decided on the 350 instead. The original plan was for the C300, but that would be too drastic.

Parktronic (do a lot of parallel parking)

Something tells me you'll be going back for more power. I had a V8 then down size to a 6 and now back to the 8. Perhaps I need to grow up.
The C300 would be too much of a drastic change. Good Luck.

I am really satisfied with E350 power. I drive a smaller car with 300hp engine every day, however never felt lack of E350 power, but as I told I live in area where road all time crowd, so no power demonstration for sure. Still capable to get right spot and do quick passing if missed long line for exit.
Taking C300 is shame from my opinion, better have a Civic.
