S212 2011 Wagon and Wife's 2014 C350 sedan.
NOW I AM WAITING !
I watched as Rimbaud, hrperion667, and HBerman waited for their vehicles and now it is my turn. My dealer called today and confirmed my E350S4 Arctic White, Natural Beige Leather, P2, and AMG Wheel Pkg. was built last Tuesday and is at the port waiting for a ship. Hopefully I will get the ship name and voyage number by the end of the week so it can be tracked.
I was fortunate to be able to order it on Oct. 13th when my dealer found another dealer with a build allocation for a wagon (Estate) that could be changed to my specs.
This will be my fourth MB but first one built to my specs. Also have a 997.2 C4S Coupe.
As stated above, been watching this forum for two weeks and learned a lot about the new W212 Platform. As others have said, the real learning starts when you get the car.

The waiting can be painful. Something to do to make the time pass is to download and read the online Owner's Manual so that you can enjoy your car immediately when it arrives w/o having to figure out the controls at that time.

excited for you
aw jeez! the wait was ferocious man!! LOL, but very worth it....
seemed like forever I'll tell ya......
congratulations to you!
the online manual really helped out a lot, but when I got the real one that helped a ton too......and also I went back to the dealer a couple
of times to fool with the car too.......I figured it'd be okay; and it was.....I was even received with enthusiasm....
I had a little bit of a problem tracking the actual boat, but I didn't really care I guess.....it was here before the projected date so that was a plus.....might be a small
'surprise' factor for the dealer to 'give' you, LOL...
but over all I am blown away......mainly by the torque.....but by everything as well....
filled up for the first time today....
and the cruise control is AWESOME
goo luck and study up! lol
