Wow this car is fast! Its my first Merc with a big engine, and my first turbo charged car ever. I've only had Mercedes with V6s until now. In fact, i traded my 2010 E350 on this one. So far, I'm very impressed. Besides the factory options, I had the windows tinted and my V1 radar detector hard-wired.

I'm thinking of adding wheel spacers next, thanks to help from a member here.

Looks awesome, I love the white with the pano black roof. Congrats and good luck with it. Keep us posted on the new motor, should be a rocket.

And thanks for your help before.

Here's a rear shot that I had trouble uploading before...

Glad I could help. BTW, the red car is pretty nice too.

Beautiful. Is that Diamond of Arctic White, btw?

More pics of it side by side with the Guido.

Congrats! Great color and it looks awesome with the pano roof... The roof spoiler takes a bit away from the pano roof effect blending in with the rear windshield IMHO but otherwise absolutely gorgeous. If It were me, I'd ditch the roof spoiler.

Nice.

Can you remove the spoiler easily? What about painting it black? Do you think that would look better?

I'll try to do that tonight for you.


BTW, its Arctic white

While Arctic White is not one of the faster colors, your car looks great!!! (040 Black is much faster). Drive it in good health.

I hate to break this to you, but my wife's R350 is 040 Black....And its not that fast.

I'm pretty sure it comes off but definitely have a professional/body shop do the job. I honestly think that with the roof spoiler your car looks older (it looks tacked on...) and it conflicts with the sleek look of the W212 design. I think your car would look great without it, especially since you have a pano roof. My car is silver and has the pano roof and one of the features I really like about the car is how the roof just blends in with the front and rear windshields. It's such an elegant and seamless look. You don't benefit as much from this look with a darker car but with white/silver it's very nice when there is nothing to break the transition from the glass windshield with the glass roof.

Of course this is all very subjective so do what you feel right as that's the only opinion that matters

Congrats again and enjoy your car. Drive safely

Does this mean my gray one will be between the slow white and fast black

A quick question, what is the Mercedes recommended service interval for the BiTurbo, any substantial difference from to naturally aspirated gasser ?
