Just Picked up 2011 e350
Hi Guys,
I just picked up a 2011 E350W4 about a month ago. I have been on the forum for years, had probably fifteen Mercedes, mostly AMG's but my last car was a 2007 e550. I was nervous about giving up the power to go to the e350 but I am very happy. I will snap some pics soon as as the weather clears up. I am very happy with the car to say the least. My Car has the following options.
Artic White
Natural Beige Leather
Black ash wood trim
Premium 2
Panoramic Roof
RO8 AMG wheel package
Factory rear window spoiler and rear decklid spoiler
Factory rear seat entertainment
I do miss the power of the 550, but the creature comforts and technology are awesome. If i did it over I prob would have ordered the drivers assistance instead of the factory rear seat but I am still happy. Bluetooth Audio is great will be better once I get Iphone. Love the IPOD fully integrated. The one thing I think has changed is I think the previous Harmon Kardon in my 550 sounded better but maybe its me. Pics to come soon.

I can’t wait to see the pics. Is your rear window spoiler body color or black?
I also wanted to buy the 350 but I just couldn’t do it. I don’t need the power any more as I don’t drive like the dumb 20+yo that I was a few years ago. Question is how bad do you miss the 550? If you could do it over again would you?
My biggest fear is buyer’s remorse, I wouldnt want to buy a V6 and then severely miss the V8.

I have pretty much the same car the OP has except its a 2010 and burl walnut with a few other extras.Mine has the white window spoiler and I think that the black window spoiler disappears as it blends in with the roof and the rear window thereby defeating the purpose of having it.I was kind of iffy when I first got it but now I have grown to love it as it accentuates the squareness of the rear. Its funny now when i see a white 212 with pano roof with no window spoiler,it looks like theres something missing.Of course this is all my opinion .Also I do not think you can get a white /pano from the factory with black spoiler,you would have to order one of those huge after market ones.Congrats Duane! You have great taste

The W212 is a great car, much better than the W211. The E550 is a great car with awesome power but since you have other hi-performance cars, I would also get the E350 for a daily driver.
