Great idea! Can not wait to hear user experiences, mpg and to test drive one of these.

Subscribed....this could be my next vehicle after my current GLK250 lease is up in another 20 months or so.

 

E Classy, Do you plan on leasing it once it arrives. If so could you share the MF and residual.

Horray for DEF drinkers.

 

I think its interesting my dealer knew nothing about these being on the ground this week. I think he just wanted me to buy the E550 he had in stock for month's end. Got to love how these guys work.

an e-class diesel wagon, now that would get me going even more

 

I must say that this upcoming BT,along with the BMW 328d,are very intriguing to me.I look forward to hearing of your experiences with the BT just as I'll monitor Bimmerfest to read about their "d".

 

E250 BTC has the twin turbos so there's a lot of room to overboost

328d and 535d are running on single turbo setup.

there's no glut of 550's here. For every 30 350's, there's one V8. After driving the 350, I had decided either a 550 or a 250. If the 250 was coming in wagon, I would have waiting to check out the new E250 first before deciding. Hard to argue with the numbers....

 

I'll be replacing my 2006 E320 CDI with this model. Have two on order, the first without 4matic, the other with. Placed the order for the RWD back in June and was told a Sept delivery date. Having second thoughts about the 4matic, we asked to change the order before the actual build date and we were told the new order would have a delivery of Early November. The RWD car had gotten pushed out about a month as well. The Dealer was happy to keep both orders active and will sell one or the other from inventory once we decide.

Getting mine in Polar White. Pretty much optioned it out with the exception of the ACTIVE distronic stuff. I prefer to drive thank-you. I also opted out of the panorama roof. Having experienced the warped drive motor in the CDI, I learned my lesson. Looking forward to the other safety stuff link BLIS and Lane Keeping as well as the new LED lighting package. Still no confirmed build date for either as of yet. Probably the deciding factor on which to choose will be whether the 4matic results in a major performance hit, either in terms of acceleration, or MPG. Anxiously waiting for the official specs.

I was once a big wagon fan and owned three Volvos years ago, but don't particularly care for that look in the E-Class, and with the spit rear seat (which I also have in the CDI), I find it accommodates "stuff" just fine.

I will be "loaning" the CDI to my daughter. It has 135K miles and other than the usual annoyances (warped sunroof motor housing, corroded satellite nav antenna feed, CEL for the glow plugs, etc.) its broken in nicely.

 

I have a 115lb four legged friend who won't fit under the rear deck ad through the split seats on my sedan. LOL

 

There are exactly 9 unsold 2014 e550 4 drs at dealers nationally....we just checked. They are very rare cars to find in stock.

 

wow. my dealer had one at their sister location and flatbedded it over for me. It had 7 miles when I drove it home.

 

Did you buy or lease? if leased, what terms were you able to get? I am thinking about changing my order from e350 to e550.

 

lease. My MSRP was $72k and purchase price was $64.2k; no money down but my payment isn't a good metric because I had negative equity on the Chrysler SRT8 I traded in.

 

Thanks, what was your residual and money factory ?

 

$42K IIRC and .62

 

appreciate it man

 

Bringing the discussion back to topic...

I was anticipating an imminent introduction of the E250 after the press event at Mt Hood in Oregon now over two weeks ago, Aside from a couple of youtube videos and short reviews by enthusiast web sites, its been Dead Air on the MBUSA site. What gives?
