2011 E350 4matic
New E350 owner checking in!

flew out to south dakota to pick up this beast over the weekend. 2011 E350 4matic, black on all black interior with the AMG wheel package.

Coming from a C class I have to say I am very, very impressed. It just feels so solid and much nicer inside - exactly what I wanted. The inside is designed and enginered very well, everything seems to make sense and is very easy to operate. The dealer debadged it for me and its already tinted exactly how I would have done it. Feels really good to have worked hard enough to buy my dream car - I have had the biggest grin on my face since I drove off the lot. The C class was terrible in the winter, cant wait to see how great this does. The road trip back to Michigan was fun and I actually got really good gas mileage.

Anyways, please share any helpful tips and tricks - thanks!!

Bill

thanks man!!! going to sound odd but as much as I love MB's I am just not super into modding them so probably will stick pretty close to stock on this one. im getting married in oct and plan to make some babies right away so i think my money will be going that way. maybe flat badge the front but i cant think of much else, i really dont drive fast so performance stuff really isnt my game.

glad to hear you are still digging your 550, that is great to hear!!!
