not sure if this will help. i have a sedan and a coupe but both in 250. the sedan is a bit bouncier which makes it more comfortable. the coupe is NOT uncomfortable by any means but you can definitely feel the difference between the 2. a bit harsher and stiffer on the coupe.

id say test drive both cars and compare for yourself.
but to be honest, the coupe puts a lil smile on my face everytime i drive it.
it has that sexiness and appeal that no other coupe can give you.

Yes, getting in and out of the coupe is entirely different than the sedan!

Our Convertible is a bit stiffer than the sedan but not harsh by any means. It has a good feel to it... and yes you can get good city mileage just have to keep your foot out of it

2011 E550 Coupe P2 Distronic
I think your is the same colour as mine? Steel Grey? Just picked it up a couple weeks ago. 2011 with P1 P2 Distronic but no reverse camera. I still don't know how I missed that lol. But this car is a blast to drive none the least.
