They're telling us, early Feb. Actually, it surprises me that we're approaching a fully loaded car, yet there's nothing available. We are fairly flexible on colors. I wish there was a customer searchable database. My dealer spend about 4 minutes looking in his before he told me we'd have to order what we wanted.
Good luck with the car and the lighting package is a must too. But of course we also ordered the driver assistance package and parking assist package with parktronic.

Keep in mind there are options for the 2014 'E that are listed on the MBUSA website, and also more that are not listed -- there is a dealer catalog of these extra options.
That's how I added rear side impact airbags to my 2014, from the catalog. The rear curtains are standard

We ordered a 2014 E550 with many options, but not including the Premium package. It is excessively overpriced, offered no real advantages to our needs, and added more things to potentially someday fail and need maintenance.
An MB spokeswoman advocated the P1 package to increase resale value. However, cars, and their options, depreciate over time, so any gain on later resale would be far less than the added cost of the same option when new.
Buy the car for what you want it to do, not for what an unknown later buyer might want. He might want just what you want.
[QUOTE=Wrecked Em;5846367]My wife decided to pull the trigger on a new E350 today, but being unable to locate one we liked, we've decided to order something. We currently have it spec'd as follows:
