Got a build date for the coupe!
It's official! My wife's 2013 E 350 4M coupe will be built by June 19th. I got the build sheet today. I was lucky to get a very early build. The car should arrive at the dealership by July 20th.
This should be a nice car. It's painted iridium silver met. with AMG Merlot Red and black Nappa/Nubuk leather interior. With the AMG sport package and pano roof to add a little sportiness it should be quite striking.

Congratulations.
+1 posting pictures of the interior. I'm curious how it compares with mine.
Please also consider posting over in the C207 Forum. You'll find more folks with hands-on experience with your particular model, although there aren't many of us, compared to the activity level here. Guess it's due to the considerably larger sedan sales.
Lots of good people with relevant commentary here too, though. Now that I think about it, any BenzTalk is good talk!

Hype, at your rate of travel, you are going to pass the number 19 in no time.
The coupe is my wife's car. Next year, I plan to trade mine on a 2014 CLS550 with hopefully the new 435hp engine. Is the space in the back seat adequate? That is my only concern with that car especially now that this would be our only four door car.

"Merlot Red and black Nappa/Nubuk leather interior"
Based on this I thought it may be an upgrade to mine, since I do not have Nappa/Nubuk leather, which I thought MB reserved for their upgraded, additional cost interiors. Mine is the standard level (at least for '12 models) interior.
I do love the look my interior - very sporty, but every time I look at the doors I wish the red panels were padded out a bit instead of flat, as they would be, had the upgraded "premium" leather been available in '12 for the red, which it was not here.
Either way yours will be stunning. And in silver, you will hardly see the day-to-day dust and dirt! Silver/red is a great combo.
Best of luck.

Our dollar is now at par with the US but my car will cost approximately $5,000.00 more with the same equipment. MB has no explanation for the difference and their only request is that we bend over and keep quiet.

Maybe there is a change on the 2013 model.

Nope. Regardless of what the printout from DFE says, the car will have standard leather (standard leather codes are 2xx, nappa codes are 8xx for the E-Coupe/Cab). And as I mentioned, flamenco red is not available in nappa.

2012 E350 Coupe
FWIW,when I ordered mine last June, the sales manager told me I'd be getting Merlot Red leather and I announced that to the world here. YYZ quickly informed me it wasn't so. He was right; the sales manager wasn't.
