My W212 Arrived
My dealer called me and told me that my car arrived . So, it's been 4 weeks earlier than planned and this is verily cool 
.
I asked them to e-mail me the pics of my ride and here you are .
Do not be fooled by the exhaust tips my car is non AMG version but in 2012 model year with Avantgarde models , exhaust tips are gonna be like this .
For Elegance models , exhaust tips are round same as earlier model years
I will be adding V8 AMG 6.3 badges onto the right side of the trunk lol
Ha ha just joking
Well, I think there is no harm adding Carlsson badge where normally 4 MATIC badges are placed because this car will be added Carlsson performance kit as well

Thank you
I think Luxury model = Elegance
Sport = Avantgarde . However, SPORT models in the US has Sport badges right side of the trunk but Avantgarde models don't come with such a badge
Well, I think MB gurus must be knowing these trim and model differences for good

Thank you , it's a pleasure to be a part of this lovely forum as well
And
Thank you everyone kindly
It's gasoline engine , normally in earlier model years you could see CGI badge right side of the trunk but from 2012 model year Mercedes Benz seem to delete this badge from their gasoline engine cars .
Diesel cars get BLUETEC , CDI was deleted I think because I saw an S350 4 MATIC BLUETEC whereas in 2011 same model labelled as S350 CDI 4 MATIC
Well,I just spot something that 2012 Avantgarde models come with 3 spoke AMG whereas Elegance and Start package come with 4 spokes wheel . Here's a screen shot for you to judge what's the best looking

Congrats my friend! I know you have been waiting for a while. Keep us informed as the OEM becomes individualized! As active as you have been on the forum, I'm pretty sure you know exactly what you want to do to it before you even lay hands on it. Good luck and enjoy!

I will have some exterior mods :
Chrome mirror covers
Chrome tail light frame . I posted about these a while ago and CorvetteOJ was kind enough to post super cool pics of his lovely car
Another mod :
17" Designo Wheels . If you're interested in what they look like I can gladly digg up the topic for you to see
I am also thinking of slightly smoked tail lights but have not made up my mind yet lol
I can have a shop wrap some parts of the interior in carbon trim , let's see
I will be adding some badges for my car . I think I should use Carlsson badges considering I will be using a performance kit for it lol
Chrome door pins , chrome valve caps another exterior stuffs I have
I will change the grill to 4 vertical slat one
AMG pedals , I have just seen E63 video and reminded that lol
I may be using Eibach springs as well . However, I have to consider ground clearance and ride quality . Stock height is 15.5 cm , too much drop could be worse , maximum lowering is 30mm
Thank you CorvetteOJ my friend
I will gladly inform you all as I add the parts ,hope you will also like these mods .Your car is one of my faves you know
Honestly, I didn't ask but it looks like reminiscent of German specs assuming model names, accessory packages
