2015 E400"L" wtf?

I have seen several (2) 2015 E400L Cabriolet's.
Anyone know what the "L" stands for?

Mysterious Letter L...

could that "L" be Luxury vs. Sport trim?

How does the front grill look?

That would have been an expensive modification for one market and limited numbers!

MB’s of all kinds.
L is the Long wheel base. Only made for China market. Think of a E stretched to not a S but somewhat close to it.

Post the VIN. Maybe the datacard has some information.

Idaho E400"L" VIN WDD2074651F300183

Texas E400"L" VIN WDDKK6FF4FF307751

Arizona E400 (not an "L") VIN WDDKK6FF6FF302129

First 2 listed are the only cars I have seen online with the "L" on the trunk lid.

Once is like a fluke or someone adding "AMG" to some rando MB.

But I have never seen (USA) any MB on the road with an "L"

Anyone with any more ideas?

Thanks

Looked up all 3 VINs, nothing points to anything special about these cars. All 3 are just regular E400s.

Could be stupid dealer installed badges for whatever reason. Happens a lot here in the Middle East where the dealers sell S500s with AMG badges pre-installed on the trunk.
