Any notable changes to the '13 W212's?

Do you guys notice any exterior changes to the 2013 E350 4matic as opposed to the 2012 E350?

I plan on purchasing one this week but have not decided if I should get the 2013.

Also I was hoping you guys could give me some clarification.
I went to the dealership and found a 2012 E350 4 matic with package 2. It says it has the 321 spor package: 18 inch 5 spoke alloy wheels, lowered sport suspension, sport bodystyling, front brake calipers with benz logo etc...

Should this car not come with the AMG rims? Also does the sport bodystyling mean AMG body kit?

M-B's "Build Your Own" is the biggest POS. BMW's and Porsche's are FAR more advanced and accurate. Ridiculous. It really shows who has more enthusiasts who truly know the products going to build their own (it's not M-B obviously) as they demand better.

Hi,
on the E350's there is a Luxury model and a Sport model, same cost. Your example is the Sport and it comes with 18" 5 spoke wheels etc. I tried to post pic of the wheels but it didn't work. 2013 wheels are 5 spokes with wide spokes, each split into a wider "half" and a narrower "half".
Sport does not equal AMG so no AMG badge.
They offer an AMG 18" replica split 5 spoke wheel for a very reasonable (IMO)
$760 as they'd probaly cost 3X that buy from MB parts. It has narrow spokes and (IMO) is a GREAT looking wheel.
The Sport model has an AMG type look but it's not true AMG and thankfully not priced like an AMG

Thanks your post just cleared everything up. I also noticed when I was building the car on mbusa it had the option for sport package and its basically a lip kit.
So I want to get a 2013 e350 4matic with the (sport package for free) (Amg rims for 760) and (package 2 for $6000). All makes sense now THanks again

Also any exterior changes to the 2013 vs the 2012?

I tried to build an E350 with sport package and wheel package and it doesn't allow it! When you go to select the wheel package it removes the sport!

hehe, I have built one of every model I think.....
they all get the same....
but I have noticed other company site's that offer many more options and what not......but then it get's a bit confusing an frustrating......
I couldn't imagine ordering a Porche with all the optional extra's they offer....that would drive me bonkers....
I still don't see why my dealer does not have the fancy briefcase of grains, leathers and so forth.....across the street at jaguar they have many samples you can put your hands on and feel........

hyperion667

wow, that'd really be something huh?
an S63.....
I couldn't even imagine it!
LOL......
I don't know what I'd get if I got another Benz......
I'd really like to get something older.....50's......60's era Jaguar or Benz....

anyway....what color do you need that S to be in? and you want the designo right??? RIGHT????

Mrlal8

Its still there but their picture genration cant show you both the sport and the wheel package at the same time. I just click the sport and then clicked AMG wheels and both options got saved

dfordham

If you select sport first, then simply hover the mouse over the wheel package, it says it will remove sport if you make this selection.

It did this on the 2012's also. Sometimes it accepts the sport pkg and wheels---
sometimes it rejects that combo......
Try again later

Also, either they removed the two tone interiors or now all interiors are one tone themed (Almond, Ash, Black, Tan, etc.) along with the Sport models having interior color coding like the Luxury models (instead of narrow-dly black/black or black/almond like before), or as per usual, MBUSA's "Build your own" is completely inaccurate.

Did finally E350 get 300hp engine?

K-A

C'mon man, you can't be that behind the times!

Yes, it has a 300 and change HP motor since 2012 MY.

eagle_lex

I was wondering what was up with the AMG wheels and the sport pack too. We tried to build a new C300 for my gf and it did the same thing with those AMG wheels as it does with the E. it just wont let you select those wheels AND the sport pack. maybe they wont be available this year with the sport pack? idk.....

Dema

Great to know. I rememeber was rumor of engine upgrade but I didn't realize it has happened.

So what are current numbers for 0-60? Did they finally get sub 6 sec?
