Just ordered 2013 E350

Hi everyone newbie here i just got back from dealer. On order 2013 E350 Diamond white, Black leather, black trim, P2, AMG wheel package, ventilated seats, roof & trunk spoiler. I cannot wait for it to come in around late july. So i can share in all the fun that you members are having. When i went on the test drive i didnt want to go back to the dealer. The E350 drives & rides so much better than my bmw. Well thanks to everyone on this forum for helping me make up my mind to buy this car.

Hi BM2BZ i have a 328i coupe not a bad car but nite and day difference in the ride of the mercedes. The beemer does not like rough roads or potholes. And those runflats do not help matters.

I have a 2010 535xi (last of the E60 design) and absolutely love it. I just signed papers on a 2012 E350 4matic lease and will be hopefully getting it end of May or early June. Did not like the new 5 series F10 models. Runflats, thin doors, thin steering wheel, etc made it much less than my 2010.

But I want the best of both worlds so I am keeping the 2010 BMW and will soon have the 2012 E350. Gone will be my 2011 338xi with the runflats and harsh ride.

i had e60 before and was hoping big before any spy pics of the new f10. huge disappointment of the current style and that made me move from bmw to mb after years of bmw ownership. i like their new 6 4-door coupe, though.

I hate you Yosheego! White doesn't quite appeal to my wife (kept eye-balling them on the lot though...they were so pretty!)...reason why I purchased the black. But DAMN the E (YOUR E) looks sooooo good in white! Contrast is amazing, especially in your sig pic!

Thanks everyone for the replys. Yes i looked at the 535 with the M package but i felt the MB was nicer. It just felt roomier and bigger inside and the ride is unbelievable. I cannot wait for my car to come in i have already started looking at wheels.

Congratulations! Were you able to get the order codes and pricing for the options you wanted? I know you selected Diamond White which is a terrific color, but was the dealer able to show you all the 2013 exterior and interior colors? I'm having trouble getting this information. Thanks.

Hi larry everything is the same as the 2012s. There was no changes in codes or colors as of yet. Maybe when MB releases pricing for 2013s things might change. But dont hold your breath. The only thing thats going to change is the price.I have a production date of late july so if something new pops up i will still have time to change my order. Sorry i could not be of more help.

A BMW motorcycle is called a beemer. A BMW car is called a bimmer, at least in the U.S.

Actually, if you had the first year or two of the current 5 series, it's called a bummer.

MB E320 4matic
Trying to order 2013 E350 4matic Luxury with European delivery

Hi to All,
I am new to this site, but trying to buy a E350 4matic for pickup in Stuttgart on 7-14-12 through Euro Delivery program. No dealer in NJ can get this done, as they say official date is mid-August. I heard they were sending these vehicles to the US at the end of June for preparation of the launch. Can anyone offer any assistance, as I will be in Stuttgart for 10 days starting on 7/14. I appreciate any feedback and thanks.
Terry

In past years, the first day I could pick up a tourist delivery car was the day they released the cars at the US dealers. That may still be the policy. Your dealer should easily find the schedule.

Thanks Jim

I appreciate your reply. I just thought that an exception could be made, as the car is being built now and delivered to the US at month's end. I don't have any contacts in Montvale, NJ.
