12 vs 13 differences
Hey I am looking at getting one of these year models. Can anyone tell me what the differences may be? I heard there is a nav update but that's about it so far.

slightly updated comand and instrument cluster, that's about it.

What's the difference in the comand systems? Is it how the map looks?

i considered a 2013 when I bought my 2012 E350. Negligible differences. I bought the 2012 because I liked the color combination better.

you'd honestly have to sit in both and play with comand to notice a difference, if any. just get the color, options, price you want. all things being equal, get the 13 for the extra year of warranty.

Is it possible to distinguish between a 2012 and 2013 from the outside? Just wondering.

Thanks!

2013 does not have the "Blue Efficiency" emblem on the sides, 2012 do.

In U.S., the white color paint on 2012 is calcite white. 2013 is polar white.

Deep knowledge x2!

White is is white to me and anyone can remove the BlueEff badge (albeit rare), so it sounds like the exterior diffs are in the range of “expert level 100!”

Is there any easy cheap tuning for an 2013 E3350?
