Finally picked up our new E350 wagon!
Went down to Sindelfingen yesterday and picked up our car from the factory (I'm a gov't contractor here in Germany). Attached are some pics after I brought it home. What a great drive back!.
Only gripe with the car (and can be fixed easily) are the tires, which are awful - Continental ContiProContact 18s.

For the NA Canadian version, only the Avantgarde (sport) version is available. Not my first choice at all. I would have got and prefer the comfort version. If there are better tires and more comfortable tires, I would like to know.

I'm thinking of going with a better summer tire but I need to verify the weight rating 93 vs. 97. I wanted the Continental Extreme DW but I'm not sure I can go with those. I had Continental Extreme DWS on my other vehicle and they absorbed many road imperfections. I like the sport suspension we have but I think the tires are a bit underwhelming. I will stay with 18s.

Agree Conti Pro Contacts are trash. I had and disposed of after 1K. Hope MB changes to another all-season tire maker.
