It is a e350 and very happy to be back and will miss the looks of the 5 er but no the drive as a daily commuter for me and this damn runflats and wheels. Once I clean it will post better pictures. Rain at delivery.

Looks very nice. I love the white. I came from an e60. The driving experience on my w212 is much better for day to day. Congrats!

A few reason. Cost is a big factor and the ride. My wife hated the ride and harshness of it. But you will miss the handling and the turbo for sure but here in DC very few places to enjoy the "ultimate driving machine" which I would agree with. Then you have the damn run flats that will kill your bank account for replacement tires. Overall the f10 is really hot car and the handling and the engine in my opinion are no comparison with the e350. The command in the Benz is no comparison to the BMW iDrive with the double screen and functionality. The e is just a really all around great commuting car for 70 miles a day and a good value. This is my 3rd e class and like I said happy to be back. I have said the BMW needs to be driven and the Benz just cruises painlessly.

I second that on the Distronic plus for your commute. If gas mileage is a factor for you I would take a look at the Bluetec. It is very quiet, not the loud diesel that many people expect.
