New Guy with an E550

Just wanted to say hi. I traded my 07 CL550 for an 2011 E550 with 3k miles this past Friday and I am really happy with my purchase. I been lurking around the forum trying to learn as much as I can. I will try to post up some pics this weekend hopefully.

Same engine. A 5.5L V8. I have noticed that the E is getting a little better gas mileage than my CL. Wonder if it is the weight difference.

Congratulations on your new car. Post your options on the new ride, curious to see what it has, and definitely some pics.

I don't have the window sticker, but from what I can tell, it has the Premium 1 Package, Sports Package (not sure if that is an option), rear deck spoiler, Drive-Dynamic Multi-Contour Driver's w/Massage Feature, Chrome Door Handle Inserts. Natural Beige Black interior. I took a couple of pics today at work. I will try to take better pics tomorrow and post them on the Picture thread.

Is there a website where I can put in the VIN# and see the window sticker and what options it came with?
