Hey guys,

Got my E350 about two weeks ago now and just wanted to say hi.

Came out of a C300 4M from an E350 4M and have to say that I am happy to be back..

The car is light-years ahead of the C300 in terms of fit, finish and amenities, but I am definitely still getting used to the handling characteristics..not as nimble as the C class but holds its own in very different ways..

Attached a crappy iPhone photo of my now dirty car (damn winter - worst time to get a new car).

Look forward to great conversations...

Have already de-badged the car, put in LED license plate lamps, smoked side markers and removed the star for a flat badge.

Cheers,

Chris

Ahh...what the snow does to a detail job in the North and Mid-West.

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the mix.

Where did you get the LED license plate bulbs and which ones?

AMGTTV8

Elbrus - from the tirerack... http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...+w/Ice+Coating

AMGTTV8

yup - that's what I meant by debadging...nothing else to take off

here's the link...ebay

gotta take the car to the shop to get them installed though...they don't simply unscrew like the 211's...have to take the trunk liner out and exterior molding off

any issues with the new sidemarkers? looking to get them myself

AMGTTV8

None whatsoever...that being said, haven't had them in for too long but I am confident that they will last!

Looks great. Wheels are perfect compliments to this car as well. Classy, sporty, not silly looking.

Nice transition between M-B Sedans for you, in the last year or so.

Glad to hear you're liking the W212. Seems like it's living up to retaining that "E"-ness that your W211 left off with.

AMGTTV8

Appreciate the compliments! Def retaining and improving upon the "E"-ness that my old car left me with...night and day difference IMO..

The car is really a masterpiece for the price-point

Has anyone yet to look into whether or not the 4Matic has an aftermarket spring available for ride-height reduction?
