Are those 17" wheels? A car is only as sexy as it's wheels, perhaps moving to an 18" or even 19" rim from a high end manufacturer would change it's appearance?

cheap, quick and easy fix... dark tint, black side mirror cover, wrap side skirts middle part, wrap rear spoiler.

spend a bit...upgrade to 19s or even 20s, roof spoiler, upgrade to 63 front grille...

Those look like the stock 18 AMG. They look fine. Gloss black 19s would look pretty good too for contrast. I wouldn't go any thing bigger than 19s. My 19s are already a little harsh in terms of ride quality when going over pot holes and bumps.

Contrasting gloss black mirror would look cool too given the black panoramic roof.

Window tint is a must. Not because of the darker color, but you should do a ceramic tint that would block heat.

The car looks great!

+1, even little changes like tint and front grill is enough to drastically change the look.

You can also wrap it (to anything in the world) if you are wanting to spend a bit more on the appearance.

I have 20 inch wheels. and live in Houston. Ride quality is still really good, and I always avoid potholes anyway! Don't notice much of a difference from the stock 18s to be honest

As most members suggested, window tint and new wheels.

If you want to take it further, lowering suspension kit and Renntech carbon aero parts. The carbon fiber rear diffuser and the tips look really good! I'm sure the aero parts will fit the E400.

I would tell her "I'm bored with you, and get a younger chick".

Did you mean you wanted to trade cars with him or trade your wife?

I have the best wife, she loves her car. The OP should take his wife car shopping. This time, she better make up her mind on the color.

There's nothing wrong or boring about that car color

Sorry your wife doesn't agree

E400 is a sweet ride btw
