Talking Wife Bought me a E350 BlueTec

Black E350 BlueTec
Natural Beige Leather
Burl Walnut Trim
Sport Sedan Pkg
No Premium pkg
Parktronic


Overall I love this car Its great on gas and when I say great I mean its frikin AWESOME!

I am very surprised at how smooth this thing rolls.
The suspension is great it absorbs bumps like they are not even there.
The steering is surprisingly responsive.
However the turning radius seems to be not that great.

This car comes with run Flats, but while they the tires feel a little hard to the touch, like I said before the ride is very smooth so the run flats are a non factor.
I would even go as far as to say that I think this car may be smoother than my current E550 but it can't match the airmatic when it comes to absorbing bumps.

I only have Tow complaints:

1) The seats are VERY HARD, so hard I would be forced to believe that they are made out of some kind of hard plastic.

2)Trunk space is limited and it's even more limited due to the fact that the trunk doesn't open as wide as my E550.
I doubt I could fit a Twinkie in there.


Those are my only two complaints.
Other things I dont like are just minor copmplaints and I wont mention them.
No car is perfect.
The attention to detail is excellent and it's an all around well built car.

Brake and gas pedal feel are a little numb but perhaps I am being a little picky.
The only options on this car are the sport sedan and parktronic, but the only thing I miss is the Panorama Roof.



Any way I just wanted to see how many members here collect these cars and post pics if you have enjoy some pics of mine.
(sorry pics were taken with my iPhone as I was too lazy to go get my camera.)

I am thinking about tinting the windows and maybe some new wheels.

As to where she got it from I will ask her in the morning when she wakes up.
I have always meant to buy one but I never bought one because I would never find a model that was exactly the same as the car I owned.
Now that I have this one I realize that it doesnt matter that its not exaclty the same. Close enough is good enough.
