My First Mercedes!

Hi guys I purchased my first Benz a few months ago.. I've owned a bunch of different Bimmers in the past.. I picked up a 2010 E350 AMG package.. So far I added tints and black Amg license plate frames.. What are some simple mods u guys recommend I do?

Looks great! Congrats and welcome to the Mercedes family.

Firstly, get rid of the AMG plate frames, you don't drive an AMG. LOL

Second, LED side markers.

Third, if you have nav, go into service mode and enable Bluetooth Audio streaming(easy to find DIY).

Other than that, not much you need to do.

Nice looking car. I made the switch from BMW to MB myself in November. As for mods - better looking door pins would be one obvious option. You could also get a rear spoiler. If you can find them online clear side markers.

Congrats on the new ride! My first recommendation would be to spend a lot of time going through all the threads and pages on this forum. There's plenty of information that'll inspire you to mod your car to your taste and create your own vision.

Your mercedes dealership can assist you in ordering LED DRL. Or you can order at ebay.

Congrats! Purchase a Sprintbooster or an equivalent. Also maybe a trunk and window spoiler. And yes, remove the AMG plate surround.
