New E400 Sedan on the dock in Germany ....

Have the VIN - looks like they built it last week as promised.

New at this - guess it ships from Bremerhaven to Port Hueneme - then off to VPC in Carson, CA (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Entered the VIN on WW's site - nothing yet (as expected). The next vehicle carrier they list - Morning Cello - sails from Germany 10/04 - arrival here 10/29.

Can't easily find the NYK Line schedules - no worry - certain to have the ship info when it hits the water.

Looking forward the new MBZ - a first here.

J.

Nice! My E400 wagon is in production now. Looking forward to the new engine after driving the C400.

That is a pretty nice set up. You will love it. I am curious how the twin turbo V6 drives. I loved the N54 engine in my 2008 535 xi (when it ran). If the V6 turbo is anything like the V8 twin turbo it will divine.

2014 E63S; AMS 100 octane ECU dyno tune; EDOK TCU tune; BB intakes; sprintbooster
Also very curious on the 0-60 and 1/4-mile times on the TTV6

Have you guys seen the stats on the 2015 Caddy CTS V-sport model -- TTV6 producing about 400hp/400tq but pulling 2014 E550 numbers... 0-60 in the low 4's and 1/4 mile in the mid 12's...yikes

Sounds like you will soon have one lovely car !

Yes, good idea to research the clear protection films. The main MB dealer in Vancouver is now offering the 3M Scotchgard paint protection film. It looks good on the car, providing an entire panel (eg. front hood) is covered. Covering only one-half of the hood is not a good idea. It does reduce the deep paint gloss a touch and it is not that easily removed (must return to installer for removal).

There are many options as to where film could be applied; front apron, front hood, front fenders, etc. So pricing will depend on how much body work you decide to cover with film.

Best of luck with your new E400 !

Those numbers are impressive but Caddies are getting expensive. I would rather buy a Euro-sled .

With the difference in shipping - we might have them delivered at nearly the same time.

Curious as to your color/int/trim selection.

Mine E400 4Matic goes 1-100 km/h (nearly 0-62 mph) in 5.2 sec.
0.1 sec faster than in the official specs
