Model Identification Help!
I am having some trouble figuring out what I actually have here. I think i got the virus making me all stupid. I just picked up a 2016 E400 two door coupe, however the build date is 03/2016. Would this be considered the W212? It apperently has the AMG package and I need to replace the front bumper. It was in a wreck and entire front bits are all gone, I have a lot of parts to order and I am stumped on compatibility between the models here.

Pictures of front end would help I believe in my model year there were four different front end configurations. Luxury, Sport, AMG package, AMG, all slightly different, Guessing your MY was similar in variety.

Yes, I can't see the wiring harness for parking sensors, but it may have been cut by the tow truck driver if he needed to pick the front clip up off the road, looks like the headlight and side marker connectors are intact thankfully.
Others may have better thoughts, but I think it might be wise to get pictures of an exact car with Amg package off the internet to compare.

some of those parts, such as that radar module, require "flashware" programming, which requires a dealer and the xentry system. good mercedes indies have this system too, but I'm not sure they have the authorization levels to install flashware upgrades
btw, I believe I included the 'stiffener' drawing and parts list with all the subframe parts that support the bumpers, including that one that looks tweaked. note in particular 120 and 130 'absorber'

Yep, the driver side absorber is indeed tweaked a bit. Slowly getting all my part numbers around that I need. That Collision Prevention Assistant is going to be a pain in the ***. I got a nice scan tool/programmer for the SL500, but I reckon this module will be out of its league.
This is what I am envisioning the front of this originally looked like. I suppose I need to start posting in the C207 section now.

I agree. I am having one hell of a time trying to source the correct one now. It seems that the bumpers I am finding are for the model with the different headlights. I feel like I have a unicorn on my hands. Trying to avoid getting these parts from the dealer but its looking like that might be my only choice.
I am searching for 2016 E400 and I get the sedan items.
Search for 2016 C207 and I get W212 or E350 or E550 items.
Can't seem to find the compatible bumper with all the fixings.

Any 2014-2016 E-series coupe/cabriolet, be it e350, e400, e550, should get you the same bumper cover. looks like the coupes didn't have the 'luxury' grill and bumper option the sedan/wagons had. there was a 'sport' package but it was wheels and interior stuffs.
my various PDFs have all the OEM part numbers, those often work on ebay etc searches.

I got the E350 upper radiator support coming as the least expensive test(more for my own sanity too). Its just crazy how the W212 comes up a lot and the bumpers with the split lights. Even got some W204's in the mix somehow. I am just not to bright with all the configurations I suppose..
