JUST ORDERED A 2016 E350
My dealer confirmed my new order today. He had a slot and the new car will be built around April 10th, WITH the Surround View Camera.
This car is for my wife, replacing her 2010 E350.
Here is the build:
2016 E350 Luxury Sedan
775 Iridium Silver
02R 17” 5-Spoke Alloy Wheels
319 Lighting Pkg.
818 Crystal Grey/Seashell Grey Nappa Leather
H14 Burl Walnut Trim
314 Wood/Leather Steering Wheel
P01 Premium Pkg.
389 Keyless-Go Pkg.
401 Active Ventilated Front Seats
432 Active Multicontour Driver Seat
U80 115 Volt Household Type Outlet
997 Driver Assistance Pkg.
996 Parking Assist Pkg. WITH Surround View Camera
298 Rear Side Airbags-SPC
839 Laminated Acoustic Glass-SPC
297 Rear Side Window Sunblinds-SPC
Interestingly enough, with the Nappa Leather, they would not allow heated rear seats. Go figure.
Anyway, the wait begins!

Curious. My 2011 has power folding mirrors standard. I too ran into rear heated seat issue with standard leather when I bought mine.
Sounds like a nice set of wheels.

However, given that both Canadian and US DOG state that #996 is no longer available from March production onwards, I would suggest that you ask your dealer to request the MB "factory commission" sheet which would confirm every feature for your car's build.
The other weird change is the deletion of heated rear seats with Nappa ? MY2015 Canadian DOG shows HR seats to be part of the Premium Package and no mention is made of them being deleted for the Nappa option. I wonder if this is another possible deletion for MY2016 ?
By the way, folding mirrors have always been standard for Canadian W212. There is no justification for MBUSA denying this useful feature for US owners until MY2015 !!!

Heated rear seats are of course available with Nappa from the factory, that would be an MBUSA product planning decision to not allow them.

Appearance of 2016 E350?
Dealer confirmed my order on Feb 14. He said the build date of my 2016 E350 is by end of this month and car should arrive at dealer by end of March.
My configuration is the same as Streamlier's without:
401 Active Ventilated Seat
422 Active Multi Contour Driver seat.
Does anyone know of any appearance changes form the 2015 model?

Yes it does, friend. Good to hear from you!
Actually, my new S550 now has a jack & spare as well, sitting on top of the trunk floor, instead of underneath where it belongs.
Say "hi" to the gang at MBA. Max threw me off. I guess I hit too many nerves!

We are replacing my wife's 2010. With all the crap MB has been pulling lately, such as using Run Flat tires and including NO SPARE on the S Class, we decided to go for another W212--which my wife loves, just in case the W213 has too many "improvements."

I have not verified this, but I would be astounded if they were to switch engines for MY2016. The 2016 model year will be very short, as the new model will be coming out soon. I think the odds heavily favor the '16 being virtually identical to the '15.

Like you, I was concerned about the potential changes for W213; we know that it will likely be a larger car and have RFTs which I loathe. The styling as indicated by the spy shots suggests a look very similar to W205, which does not appeal to me as much as the current W212, hence my decision to buy a MY2015.
Unfortunately, it seems that the next generation W213 will not have that E Class distinctiveness that the current car has. The new E will look very much like the the S and the C, the cookie cutter approach to styling. At least the present E stands out from the other MB models. With its very distinctive front LED light patterns, I can spot an oncoming E Class from a block away.
One new feature of the 2015/2016 E that might appeal to you and your wife is the single CD player that will record CDs to the hard drive. It's a great feature for assembling high quality music recordings.
Congrats on ordering your new E Class ! It's such a fine car !

CD players
However, I still enjoy the MULTI-CD CHANGER for those CD's I did not load into MR. While a single CD player works, it is a pain to change them while driving.
I have another vehicle where I have recorded CD's onto a thumb drive.
There are those who will disagree, but I do not think the music reproduction is as good on MR, thumb drives, BlueTooth, iPads, etc. compared to coming directly from a CD player.
