Thanks! I bailed on my ML's. I had 2 different 2012 Bluetecs and could not deal with the hesitation and bucking issue any longer. I am a big fan of the E class and am happy to have made the move.

Congrats man. Wow your's is fully loaded. I hope you got a good deal because you could've done the spoilers & door sills for considerably less than the dealer prices & the rear seat entertainment (if you went aftermarket). Anyways enjoy the ride!

Nicely equipped. The only part I might have some reservations about are the chrome door handle inserts. I remember hearing on the forums that they don't age well... If that turns out to be the case I hope they can be removable. Your car is very nicely equipped and you will love driving it with all the toys you have...

Some of them were with a D800 with a 16-35 attached and a couple were with a D3s with a 35 1.4 G. I figured it was a good time to shoot both side by side and see how the D800 did in low light compared to the D3s. My two loves, cameras and cars!!!

Yeah, there are two Mercedes Rear entertainment, one as an option and one as an accessory. This one is the accessory.

Great color combo! I love the door sills.. I just think the rear entertainment option not being in the head rest looks out of place, as if it was just some after market slap on. Im assuming you bought this car used and the person before you ordered the car with all those options.

oh, i see. but that's a very strange approach by mb . i also agree w/bigigg, i'm ok w/the look but in the headrests just looks so much cleaner.

Yes, this car is a 2011. It was the only one with all of the toys and I am only going to have it for a couple years so the MY didn't matter to me much, but the equitment did.

I agree with the Rear Entertainment looking better built into the headrest, but that was not an option on this specific car. It works great and is very well put together.

I will post some images of the front view, there are so many cameras and sensors!!!

got it from mb's site:

Rear-Seat Entertainment System

With the Mercedes-Benz Rear-Seat Entertainment System, you can bring along your favorite DVDs and your back seat becomes your own personal movie theater. Your passengers are entertained and because DVD audio plays over wireless headsets (2 included in the RSES Kit), the driver can concentrate on driving with fewer distractions. Comes with a remote to ease the use of your Rear-Seat Entertainment System. Features two 7" screens located on the back of either headrest. The DVD-slot is integrated in the monitor itself to ease the use. Additionally a SD-Memory Card is integrated in the player in addition to the availability to connect USB-Drives and other external devices to the player. MP3, DivX, MPEG 4 and JPEG files are supported to view movies or image presentation on your Rear-Seat Entertainment System. Additional feature includes the option to sync both screens in order to have only one DVD in either player. Both players can now watch the same discs or separate movies if chosen.
