Congratulations and good luck with your new coupe. Diamond white with contrasting pano roof is a gorgeous combination and was my first choice until the red interior was introduced in 2012 and worked so well with black.
Here's your coupe forum: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-c...brio-a207-141/
But don't give up on this W212 forum! There is always interesting, informative and sometimes pertinent info here for coupe owners, as well as the great folks who participate. And don't overlook the bulletins and other stickies at the top of the W212 forum page, some of which can give you a heads up on important info for your C207.

got first set of spacers 10 MM
tried front rear one side only to see which set to get next
decided to go 10MM rear / 10MM front even 5 MM front maybe better
Of course some nice drop is pending but i am not ready to do it now on a 20k miles car
what do y think ? Should i get front 5 MM or 10 MM ?
right unchanged
left both front / rear 10 MM

I feel like the F10 is the E39's soul equivalent, purposefully done to be a nearly primary-focused evolution of the E39. Of course with lots more weight and amenities (what modern car isn't). I grew up admiring the E39, especially when I occasionally got to drive my moms, thinking that it is the ultimate in all-around automotive perfection, that if I were to choose one car in the world to fulfill all my needs at the time, it would be the E39 5-Series. One part sophisticated luxury, one part maturity, one part pure sexiness, one part youthful sportiness, one part brash and another part understated and elegant. All in one.
Many say that the last great E Class was the W124 and that "it's been all downhill ever since" as well. An uncharacteristic, emergency-drastic about-face facelift may confirm that theory. Unfortunately, progress is rarely absolute.

Trying to do it on the E Class but this forum's turned dead. The most interesting thread is about an E Coupe and an E39 BMW.

Champaign, how do you like the E Coupe's drive? Clearly it's a lot more modern than your E39 but considering the E39 is still a BMW benchmark in specifically sporting dynamics, I'd be curious to know how you feel the E Coupe feels as being someone accustomed to the former.

I came to test drive C350 as i was thinking it will be close to my E39 but ended up with E350 coupe after a test drive
Suspension+luxury in one combination is what made my choice , its very similar to E39 ( except steering ) , it is sporty/comfortable/luxury as well which is a very rare combination.
Yes it is not as fan as E39 ( the E39 steering feeling is one of the best ) but it has tons of features which i like and it is very smooth on a HW , nice cruiser
I like E39 to drive in City and MB Coupe to drive on a HW
And this coupe is sexy in every way and even has a dipstick !!!
LOL

Sounds promising. Come to think of it, I've never driven the "E" Coupe, as I always assumed it should logically ride like a smoother variation of the C Class.
The E550 Coupe with that lighter C chassis and a huge V8 wedged inside it is probably of AMG power delivery proportions. I should probably make it a point to drive the facelift E550 Coupe, must be a beast.

when you shift in a Sport mode / manual paddles this car definitely moves
it is lighter / smaller than E class and can do 6.1 sec 0-60 ( I am not a hard-core driving enthusiast anywhere ahh )
o and its not a jerky like a BMW
Also I like to get 500 miles on a tank HW and 400 City as well
