Bought this car in March of 2019, still very pleased with it. With the elimination of "luxury" trim in this market for the facelift, this might be the keeper:

Wow, that looks just like my car only mine I did some aftermarket wheels. Ya agree about the luxury package, shame they are discontinuing it in the 2021's. I think mines gonna be a long term keeper.

The logic escapes me for eliminating the option, but I suppose the decision is above my pay grade. My car has almost all the options I'd like (acoustic package and HUD would be cool, but this car was on the lot and up for negotiation, so it worked out), and the interior still pleases me, so it might make me happy for a long time. Around 16 months in, it is still a joy to drive.
Cool wheels. I like my wheels a lot, but I have considered a swap, maybe for winter use. I have a thing for monoblocks and the unusual 6 hole wheels from 00s era V12 cars, along with modern multispoke wheels. I am also lazy when it comes to such mods, so probably won't happen.

2020 E450 Wagon
Your interior colour is my favorite and those 19" wheels on the Luxury wagon are awesome. My X5 lease ends in Dec and I plan on getting a 2020 E450 luxury wagon if there are any left. By then I might have to go with option and interior/exterior colour combinations that are left. I am not a fan of the new All Terrain, I think all that plastic cladding cheapens it and I'm not dropping $72K plus for that.

The spec of the car was a selling point - it was a car sitting on the lot, not a special order, so I maybe got lucky. I like the wheels, and the luxury trim was a must, I wasn't interested in a sport. I also wanted a lighter color car for ease of maintenance. The brown Tex with open pore brown wood is mellow, which matches the demeanor of the car in general. I have no interest in the All Terrain either, not looking for an off-roader, I want a somewhat traditional MB, and this is maybe as close as you can get in the current lineup.
I know late last year there were still plenty of 19s left in nationwide inventory - even mine sat around a little locally, which helped for an OK deal, but I no doubt could do a bit better on a 2020 right now. Facelift might help you though, and wanting Luxury as well - the salesman I worked with even said "people don't like that" in regards to the grille/hood ornament, worked in my favor perhaps. Good luck finding one, I bet you'll come up with something.

Is this gap on my hood normal?
Hello just got my diamond grille installed recently but I noticed there’s kind of a big gap between the hood/grille part of the car. Can anyone tell me if I’m right or I’m just being paranoid?

Thank you. It is at almost 5 1/2 milimeters
I took it to the shop where I had my grille done AND the Fletcher jones dealership (biggest mercedes dealership in the country). Both said they can't push it in anymore and that it is completely normal. At this point, I might have to drive further out to a different dealership/shop. My intuition was right.. but sadly, no one believes me

W213 Night Edition 220d. (ML250 SLK350AMG)
Very nice Gene, i have specced a car before with white exterior and beige interior and i love it. The sales guy thought i was a bit odd, but when it was built and delivered 4 months later, sales guy goes "it actually works". Yup.

My wife’s SLK is also white with light beige interior. She absolutely loves her car. White is also very easy to take care of.

I like white for a car you drive the most, but my two favorite cars are my SL55 and my CLK63 Black Series. Both look great when clean but are a lot of work to keep that way.

After nearly two years of ownership I realised I haven't posted a picture, so:
His and hers...
Original spec
With revised AMG grill, black painted chrome bumper strip and grey wheels repowder coated to black (as per cabriolet)👍 And a Samoyed!
