I placed my order at August 2021, and finally received my car at July this year!
I want all my added options are available, that's why I have to wait for so long
Bought this 2019 CPO about 9-10 months ago. As soon as the east coast winter weather broke and the road repairs began I got busy, So far.....35% tints all the way around, H& R spring set, Weistec blowoff valve, GT style grill, E43 rear diffuser, Black AMG wheel package (still 19's but look better imho), piano black dash swap from E43, stainless pedals & door lock pins. Coming soon.....caliper paint job, full exhaust, steering wheel & full digital dash upgrade.
grill upgrade
final form.....for now!!!
hey, NJ here also. Where did you get your grill from?
After a short absence from this forum (hanging in the SL forum), I couldn't pass up an opportunity to pick up this 2021 E350 CPO (lease turn-in). Lunar Blue exterior, Macchiato Beige interior with only 5500 miles on the odometer. All the bells and whistle I would want...except Adaptive Highbeam Assist. Then again, my choices are limited because I don't want a black interior (by far the most popular on dealership cars).
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.
its about sales. when they divided the models into sport and luxury maybe 3 generations ago I bet it was because they wanted to justify the trend in sales that they saw where most people picked sport. I think they changed it to amg line or styling to fit the global model. I think that the 213 not having the option for the 'exclusive' trim in the US is a shame but also based on the sales ratio.
