Very nice! It does appear that the leather was not fit correctlyto the drivers and passengers headrest.

No, they're the luxury headrests that can be shaped to your head. I have them folded inwards on either side, hence the ripples.

The car is great, not a huge departure from my former MY12 but the small tweaks are definitely appreciated. The transmission is more refined, otherwise the ride/handling/performance is very similar to the pre-FL. I love the dash vents (more elegant than before), the integrated multicontour seat controls (much cleaner than the clunky switches that were on the edge of the bolster) and the other minor interior tweaks. The new ARTICO dashboard with fine grain is exquisite, as are the nappa seats. And the new active LED headlights are amazing. Its neat how the DRL fades back in after using the turn signal; very classy.

The car still looks a bit disjointed to me with the AMG star in grille front end, but it certainly is more aggressive looking and I've had quite a few people comment on how good it looks.

I may have the front grille sprayed black to match the car, still TBD.

I think the perforations are for the cooling function of the front seats...YYZ would probably know if I am correct

In this case, yes, but some models have perforation just for the look (ie: ARTICO seats).

Not to me, the only reason I noticed is because of the inquiry on this forum.

I wonder if the perforated seats are more softer and comfortable vs the regular leather seats. I am debating whether to order the ventilated seats. Nappa leather is not available for US tho and I want to get the most comfortable seat configuration.

Piping is only with Nappa on the E-Class, yes.

Just curious, for the running lamps, are those white or blue. I'm seeing it change from night and day so I'm alittle confused.

Nice color combo, I like it! I don't see a rear entertainment system or a wood steering wheel so it's not exactly "all options". So what was wrong with the black one?

YYZ: can a traditional grill be requested for Canada (off the books but at customer request)?

I notice you have the rear radar proximity sensors. Can your dealer install this on a pre-facelift W212 professionally using MB parts?

Thanks
