Back to Mercedes-Benz

Well, I sold my Mercedes back in 2014 to get a Chevrolet Silverado Crew-Cab Z51 4x4. I hated it and finally had the opportunity to get back into a Mercedes. The hour drive home from the dealership was one of the most enjoyable drives I've ever had.

On the 2 front ends they are different. One has no lower fog lights and the other has fog lights. Did you install the fog lights? or is it a picture of another car?

^ OP's avatar and sig are likely of the MB he sold back in 2014, photo is of MB just purchased, that would be my reasoning for the difference.

Sorry- forgot to change the Signature pic. That is my old C250 Sport-PLUS. I thought about adding foglights to the E but like the large openings.

I tried to put in fog lights on my sport model but no one has one that will fit properly. One day in the future someone in Japan will make ones that will fit and work

Congratulations on new car. Apparently you went from a C to a 4x4 pick-up to an E?
Interesting transitions.

I had a 2008 C300 Sport which was totaled when a lady crossed over the median and hit me head on. I then bought a C250 SPORT-PLUS Coupe which was one of the most uncomfortable cars I've ever owned but I loved the way it looked. I injured my back and shoulder and getting in and out of the Coupe was horrible. I loved the truck, but it was a Lemon. I took a hit on the Trade-In but it was definitely worth it to get back into the Mercedes.
