Just landed. 040 Black E350 Estate with 855 Porcelain nappa leather.

More pics after PDI and tint.

 

Nice!

When is the release date for Canada?

 

Already released.

 

wow! nice seats! and 12 miles already!

 

your dealer is nice enough to throw in the floor mats and the armrest protector is something new to me ! j/k . very nice and is that black trim only on nappa leather ?

 

Thanks for the pics. I assume the MB-tex dash will still not be available in the US? Also, do you know what the Indigo Blue ext color looks like?

 

yyz do you know if there is a high pressure washing system on the new e with either of the lighting packages..also i thought the nappa leather for Canadian cars was unavailable until later..I have an e550 on the boat now so should have it in a few weeks but when I placed the order nappa wasn't available

 

Headlamp washers were discontinued as they are not required by law in Canada. I suspect you will see this trend across most Canadian MB model lines over time.

 

YYZ, any information about whether the MB tex dash will be available in the US? Also, do you know what the Indigo Blue ext color looks like?

 

Sorry, no idea on what MBUSA is up to with respect to offering U09 - I did hear that power folding mirrors are now standard though. Perhaps someone with a 2014 E can verify.

 

I'm sure the people on the board who've done the DIY folding mirrors will be happy? Do hope the US models have this as an option....

Thanks for the response.

 

I thought folding Mirrors were standard on all non-USA cars. Hmmm, I don't think they have them on the USA cars, bbut anyone on the forum that has a US 2014 E-class let us know?

 

Power folding mirrors will not be available in US according to my dealer and MB corporate on the 2014 E class. I had a corporate tech specialist confirm that my PFM's work when my 2010 e350 was flashed with Canadian SW, but under US build they can only be manually powered and not through the COMAND systems.

This is MB conscious decision for E class vehicles in US since 2010 that I know of and continues into the 2014 model year. I've read the 2014 owner's manuals and they confirm US does not get them.

 

Samking, wouldn't the option just need to be turned on in the IC? (i.e. use the older version of DAS/XENTRY that does not require the authorization from the MBDe to turn on options?)

 

Between Indy shops and all the way up to corporate MB tech specialist, my PFM'S are just not working the way factory units would.

I'm moving on to another E class soon, and I'm giving up on the PFM's (for now).

 

Since it was never an option in USA, it's not so simple.

 

Sounds like more of a challenge. I guess with MBenzL offering to get one's datacard modified,, one would have to also get the appropriate passwords to get into the correct menu.

 

Love the interior! I just hate the gear selector on the 2014's

 

I agree 100%. I first saw it in the A-Class and it belongs in an A-Class, it isnt even C-class worthy.
It reminds me of the Climate Controls in the CLS. You have a Classy car and everything is top notch but then they throw in this one cheap part that totally undermines the overall class of the vehicle.

 

+1. another way to cut corners .

 

Nice leather!

 

 

sharp looking YYZ i like it..

 

very nice ! but guess you didn't keep the "special edition" floor mats and armrest protector, huh ?

 

VERY, VERY NICE!!!! Best of luck...
