B pillar
As some of you may know I own a E63 S213 wagon for the weekends, and daily the E550 to work (it used to be the weekend car until I got E63).
Driving it for the last 2 years has made me appreciate the ingress/egress on the W212. I have to literally avoid hitting the B pillar every time I get on the wagon.
No such issues with the W212. Some friends of mine wear out the B pillar cloth/rubber on their W213's after 50k miles.
I hope the W214 does not have this issue, when it comes.

I guess I don't understand why there would be any difference between the sedan and the wagon. Don't they have the exact same door width?
I rubbed the cloth B pillar on the C-Class (narrower door), so maybe I've subconsciously adapted with the W212 sedan (Sport), as I don't touch its B pillar at all.
