My 2014 E 350 Luxury is on the way

I just learned today that my car is on the Goliath Leader with its first US stop, 30 Sep, at Brunswick. I don't know about possible other stops but it has an ETA to LA on 15 Oct

I will be happy to post some. My car is Diamond Silver but I have never seen an E Class in that color. My 2014 GLK was DS and I thought it was much richer than my Iridium Silver C350.

I've seen C- and E-class in that color (but not a GLK). Quite pretty. I prefer it over the Iridium Silver, but perhaps that's just b/c that color is SO common on older MBs....

Diamond is different - lighter than Palladium. It has a slight blueish/greenish tinge to it in some light. It is a very, very sharp looking color.

2014 MB E350 Luxury
Sounds great. My Luxury is 2 months old & 1750 miles in, & I love it. What are your major options?

To my eyes, Diamond Silver looks like ice-blue (so Iridium Silver w/ a tinge of blue).

Wow! That will be sweet!
Are you planning on doing any customizations? (not that you would even need to with that beauty!!)

My options include:
Diamond Silver
Black MBTex
Lighting Package
Lane Tracking Package
Parking Assist Package
Premium 1 Package
Keyless Go
Split Folding Rear Seats
HK Sound

This is my first MB, in many years, that I didn't order with leather. My 2012 E350 had leather with vented seats. I drove a demo 2014 E350, with MBTex, and for some reason those seats felt much better to me than my leather vented seats in the 2012.
I ordered the option for the 360 degree camera after having it on my 2014 GLK 350. One of my main complaints, on my 2012 E350, was that I couldn't tell where the wheels were when parking. Once I saw the incredible view, from the four cameras, I simply had to have that since it overcame my main complaint about my 2012.
A couple options that I once thought were a waste are the Keyless Go and Lane Tracking. Once I had them I wouldn't want another car without them. The KG mostly helps my wife but that Blind Spot display could be a life saver for both of us.

Go to marinetraffic.com and you track the Goliath Leader all the way in. I did the same with the Sunshine Ace while waiting for mine in July.

Thank you, things are now clearer even than before

samking's car is what I asked and definitely I will take it if I happen to trade my car

MB-JIM is right on , 360 split view is one of the coolest things you can have in your car no matter how professional you are on parking lots
Keyless Go is an awesome feature ,I first thought it was not necessary but now it's been a must-have for me too

I just took delivery of my 2014 E350 Sport last week. I googled the name of the ship it was on and found a site that I could track the ship's movements on. I was able to determined the exact time of arrival into the Port of Baltimore. It arrived in Michigan 3 days later.

My ship "Goliath Leader" is due at Brunswick today with an ETA at LA on the 15th.
I have tracked many of my ships and always enjoy the video coverage while going through the Panama Canal.
