Thanks! The color really pops in the sunlight, but we lost the sun and the first two pics are the only ones in the sun. You definitely see different shades in different lights/angles - silver, light blue, dark blue, it is very unique

Great pictures. Another great Mercedes color. I like most of them. I have Indium Grey which is a less common color. You don't see a lot of quartz blues either. What car did your dad drive before the new e350? Regards. Ned.

Beautiful E350, I especially like the interior colors.

Your E92 looks great too....im guessing 335 due to the aftermarket oil cooler listed in your mod list?

Thanks, I really like the color, my Father is extremely pleased. He actually drove the Red Mustang GT you see in the background of the 4th and 5th pictures, talk about a 180 and one hell of an upgrade

Thanks! Yes, I have a highly modified 335, perfect as a DD and track ready at the same time!

Congrats! That's insane that he went from that Mustang to that E-Class, wow, talk about a whole new world.

Would have loved to see some pics of the E next to one of those F10's across from it.

Thanks again for the compliments and comments! I love the steering wheel of the AMG wheel package, very sporty and elegant at the same time. I must admit, the interior is much nicer than my e92 3-series, but maybe it would be more fair to compare that of the current F10 5-series. One thing I wish Mercedes did that BMW does is offer a split screen on the NAV. For example, I can have entertainment and NAV on my screen at the same time, it splits like 70/30, so I don't have to toggle all the time. Oh well, minor nitpicks. Fit and finish of the Merc is top notch for sure

My Dad is a neat freak, so I know he'll keep the Ash interior clean on his new baby

It is definitely ash, maybe the lighting makes it looks off, but it is definitely light gray, not the beige of almond

That was probably back when they were stickers. Now they are more like silkscreens.

There was discussion on the W204 forum about this and, IIRC, no one came up with a removal method.
