Hello MBWorld. I'm the new owner of a 2012 E350. Steel Grey, Sport, P1. Just turned 500 miles and everything is perfect. Everything works. It's a pleasure to drive and to own. I traded in a 2005 745Li that was trying to bankrupt me. I hope to keep this car for 200K miles. Wish me luck!

And by this you mean all the expensive repairs needed over time?

Exactly. Every trip to the dealer was at least $1000, and I was going every few months for something different. There was no end in sight. It was a great car, but I couldn't trust it anymore. I love the E350.

welcome......
and sorry to LOL at the BMW.....although it wasn't as nice, I had a volvo s40 that
I went through the same thing with.....so I understand where you're coming from.....
ended up basically giving it to the dealer on my last purchase.....and was glad to see it go

have any mods planned for the car?
that's a beautiful place to live it looks like...

Just realized you are located in Northern VA... But by the pic it looks more like Northwestern Va...? "Northern VA" is normally referred to the Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Springfield area (metro DC)...but your pic suggests more of a rural area further west maybe...

The only mod I have are some cocomats on the floor. I took the picture on Skyline Drive yesterday. Needed an excuse for a good break-in drive!

I'd say! Took Rte 66 most of the way? Gotta watch for State Troopers!!!

Yes, you will love your car. BMW can bankrupt you from repairs but not E350.

I like this color a lot

It's very nice to read a good review on MB too . What makes it nicer is 7 Series being an upscale car ,you enjoy your W212 more than that
Happy safe driving , W212 is the best car I have driven for me too
