2012 coupe font bumper
Hey Guys, I have a question. regarding the front bumper of the e coupe, there is the 350 style and 550 style however i see that in some pics on mercedez website, they have the 550 style on a 350. is there a bumper option that i don't know of? sorry if the question is a bit confusing haha. I really like the 550 style but Im only getting the 350 as a lease. would love to have the 550 styling.
another questions. How much is a painted bumper from mbz going to run me? thinking about swapping the bumper =)

If you are in the US, the bumpers are different for the 350 and 550, with the 350 having the little chrome strip at the bottom and slightly less aggressive look with the air dam portion at the bottom of the bumber. The rear bumbers are different, too, where the 350 has a more rounded rear, chrome strip and oval exhaust tips versus the chromeless rear bumper and trapazoidal tips on the 550. The side skirts differ as well.
In other countries, it seems the 350 has the same bumper as the 550 bumper, but I'm not sure if that is an optional appearance package for those regions.
I don't know about the cost of parts, but you would need the front and rear bumpers as well as skirts to emulate the 550 look here in the states - pretty significant.

Traditionally, for reasons, Mercedes makes its seats on the harder side (harder but not uncomfortable.)
I've grown to like it though, especially for long interstate driving -- harder seats generally tend to keeping me less sleepy, holding my driving posture better, and giving me less back aches (some of us might know what I mean -- the very first moment we 'un-glue' ourselves from the seat, after a few hours of driving home from a ski trip...)
With best regards,
