I am sure you know you can search inventory across the whole country for new or used.
You'll have to then look at each car to see the options. I did that when I found my car. My hot points were Luxury and P2, and the BlueTec came along with it.
I won't be surprised if you have to either wait, settle or order a '13. That is a pretty specific list of wants.

2012 S350 Bluetec 4Matic, Diamond White, P2
I saw two white unicorns for sale on my way to work this morning. Have not seen a fully optioned out Bluetec ever. I think you would have to special order one from the factory. If there are any out there, I doubt they will be on the market soon or in an area near you.

I have searched the used inventory on MBUSA.
Searched exhaustively on Google, and Bing.
Searched Edmunds, KBB, Autotrader.
Any suggestions on how else to look?
And it's so annoying having to sift through all the meaningless options just to determine whether it has P1,P2. etc.

Your wish list looks similar to the one I had. It took me 3-4 weeks of searching on cars.com, autotrader.com, ebay, etc to find the following car (from eCarOne in Texas) about 3 months ago.
2011 E350 Bluetec
Sport trim
Palladium with black interior
P2
Parktronics
Active Multicontour drivers seat
Panoramic roof
The Drivers Assistance Package was on my Optional list but the above options were more important to me.

That thing is Beautiful dpath! Those wheels look sweet as well. That color just captivates me.
Thanks. The wheels are from Power Wheels Pro. Good luck with your search.

Got our P2 and loaded car in March and love it. Sticker attached. FYI, did a cars.com search and then took the link to the dealers website during our search. Worked out well.

So did you do a staggered setup on your BTEC? Curious.

E-350
P2
Luxury (not Sport)
and CPO,
and I was willing to go to wherever the dealer was who had that car. Usually dealers will swap out a new car, but not a used one.
I was lucky (well maybe not, if you've read my saga about that dealer's service prices) that my car happened to be at the local M-B dealer, but I would have gone far away to get what I wanted.

Black on Black 4matic Luxury

I still haven't found anything. I find it odd there are tons of 2011-12, but 09-10 are very scarce. Did MB scale back production those years? I have grown to admire the beauty of the W211's. I'd rock me a 09 Diesel in a heartbeat. I can't seem to find Drivers Assistance Pkg anyways.

Found one!
2011 E350 Bluetec
Palladium
P2
Drivers Assistance PKG
Parktronics
Drive Dynamic Seat
Sunroof
It will be here next week.
My only reservation is that it has Almond Interior and not Black... I thought it was a sport Package because 'I thought' I counted 3 bars on the grille. Looking at the original Invoice, it has Luxury PKG with 955 Elegance Edition. Whatever it is, the carpet and everything is Almond. But I have the beggars can't be choosy attitude about that.

Mine is gold with the beige interior. (OK, just looked it up, Pearl Beige paint and Almond Leather).
I love the interior and wouldn't pick black if I had a choice. The rubber/plastic on the dash is brown on mine, and it looks great with the brown walnut.
I think you'll be very happy with the interior.

The Interior looks just like yours Mike. The odd thing is that the Original Invoice says it has Luxury Suspension/Luxury PKG, but the Exterior has the Sport Grill, and Sport Split Spoke Wheels.
