Beautiful car, I'd love to see better pictures of the paint.

PhilosophyAndre 08-30-2016 02:39 PM

The color is beautiful, and interesting. Depending on the light, it can look black, dark blue, or green. Here are sone pictures of the paint in direct sunlight and in shadow, but it will be hard to capture a true representation.

Piedmont Green
 
Andre, that is a gorgeous color! I am a big fan of MB's colors that change so much depending on lighting. I have a 2007 E550 in Granite Grey. It goes from light grey, to blue grey, to a pale green. I don't drive it much, when I do I'm still amazed by the color. If I were to replace it, I would also choose Piedmont Green.

Question: Does the US E300 have folding side mirrors? I don't see them listed on the MBUSA website, so I assume no?

Thanks.

Folding mirrors are listed as standard equipment in the Dealer Ordering Guide.

yes, mine automatically fold in when I lock the car and then return to their position when I unlock the car

They don't look that different since the last iteration of the w212 had already adopted the front look of the new model, the biggest difference from the rear doors back, a more swooping rear pillar and rounded rump with different tail lights. Even the wheels are a variation of the same motif (I like the new ones better). I cant wait for mine to arrive to see the brown leather first hand. Personally Ive never liked black on black interiors that was one of my peeves with my s2000.

IMO, that brown is the most unique MB color out there right now. I think it is similar to Dakota Brown in the US. The finance manager at the MB dealer I go to has a 2016 E350 in Dakota Brown - so sharp looking.

Let's put it this way.

We took a trip down to Serbia from Switzerland. On the way down we went through the Swiss Mountain roads via Italy then to Slovenia, Croatia and then Serbia.

On the way back we went through Serbia, Hungary, Austria, Germany into Switzerland.

Most of the trip the roads were ****ty. I had no complaints whatsoever as far as the comfort goes. I believe the car has handled the trip well, we did not feel tired or sore.

I say go for it.

That's great news! I'm coming from a Jeep so I'm guessing anything would feel more comfortable at this point. The fear of high maintenance costs is what's concerning me most for ABC, I'm happy to hear you're doing fine without it!

If you don't mind me asking, which Jeep are you coming from? Before I got my E300 I came from a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Yep that exact one (Overland, Hemi and all the stuffings). I'm gonna miss it, but I'm finding it's just too big for us in Germany. I mean it literally barely fits in my garage. Great vehicle and I see myself leasing one in a couple years.

Nice I just had the baritone Laredo E as a lease to get me through undergrad. It is such a great car. Right before I traded it in, I took a road trip from FL to NY and it makes a great road trip car.

Yep, I live in Dilworth - small world. I will wave if I see you cruising in your new E. I have never seen that color around here, so it should be easy to spot you. :-)

cardinal red 02-19-2017 06:59 PM

Very cool, I love the Dilworth area. I'm in Indian trail. I saw that you have a Piedmont green E class. Had never seen that color and looked it up. That's a really beautiful color. I'll look out for you! I also saw that you had trouble with the mbrace app. I was having trouble with that too, but got it fixed, and works great now. Let me know if you are still having issues with it, and I can tell you how to get it up and running well.

Best,

MS

Came out of a CLS 550 ... and loving my new ride! ����

How's the ride on the 19s? I just switched my order from the 18" AMG Wheels to these after obsessing over it the past couple weeks. Just felt like the 18s didn't quite fit with the overall look. I also opted for the Air Body Control too so that should help with any harshness.

DaveKarn ... I like the ride a lot ... certainly not harsh and handles like a dream. I don't have air ride control, but I don't miss it. And somehow the 19s just look right.

Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback and great looking ride! I basically got the same ride as you except I went with all black interior. Would love to go with your color but I've had bad luck with light interiors and also have a newborn...bad combo! Hoping mine is built and delivered here in the next couple of weeks

My 2017 E300, special ordered on March, 2016 and finally got it on 10/01/2016. I got pretty much everything on it (both designo in and out :)), maybe just a few accessories are not available (like the Comfort Box in the trunk something like that).

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...4aa792a127.jpg

Below is the link of the video that I shot for my E300, just trying to demonstrate the Parking Pilot function to my friends whom not in local a few months ago. In this way you can see the interior in a better way (sorry for using the cell phone to record this video, please watch in 1080p for better quality :))

Very sharp, love it! Like I said above, I'm jealous of you folks with the white interior, my jeans always stain them! Also curious to see how the matte paint holds up for you. I contemplated it for a long time, but it just didn't seem like a feasible option for me right now. Looking at doing a wrap sometime down the road though.

Anyways, congrats!

Don't be jealous us for the white interior, you have no idea the pain when it was rained outside and we get in our car, what a mess we made. I have to clean my white carpet and use some premium leather clean tool to clean and protect white leather every week, so as I said it looks nice but comes with the pain as well. However, we still love it, especially when we open the door, the designo diamond white exterior and the designo white interior make the perfect color combination that everyone see this moment will have a wow after that. However, it is my opinion that if you choose the exterior color as the Selenite Grey Magno (matte), then please choose the interior as the designo Black/Titanium Grey Pearl Exclusive Nappa leather. Since this will be the perfect color combination. The white interior does not fit for the Selenite Grey Magno at all (it is my opinion). See the video below as it is the official color combination for the 2017 E300.

Having ordered an E400 with the white designo interior, I was interested in your remarks on what you have to do to keep it clean. Can you please give some further details: what your regular protective routine is, which products you use, and any other good advice? I would be very grateful.

Well, nothing special actually. I wash my car every week (on the weekend) in the car wash, then I will detail it myself after the car wash. Then, for the interior I will use some premium leather protection and cleaning spray (for cleaning the white or light color leather). You can search online as there are many kind of these items available. However, the key in order to keep the white interior as white as possible is do not let the any dark color liquid (such as the coke, some food that with the juicy sauce on it and etc.,) and any kind of the oil (you know, the food) drop on the leather, it will be your nightmare and you will spend countless time to clean it out, and it will not go away at all. Therefore, do not eat or drink in your car is the key rule to keep the white interior clean for your car. The next is trying to wear the clean and tidy clothes as often as you can, especially the pants, do not wear the same pants more than two or three days when you sit in your car, because the dirt on your pants will eventually wear on the chair, so later on the chair will not as white as before (that's why I use the leather protection and cleaning spray to clean the seat every week to prevent it happens), so wearing the clean and tidy clothes is the best way to keep the white chair clean. That's pretty much everything I have, in order to let the white interior looks as new as long as possible is not easy, but it is worth as to me the desgino white interior is the best looking interior for the W213 :)

Julian, Mine has been flawless - the one issue I had was self-inflicted (I broke a trim piece trying to install my dash cam) and the dealer fixed it for no charge without an appointment. You may find the ride a little firm with the runflats, but I consider that a small price to pay for not stopping to change a flat tire. Enjoy the car!

Is your car lowered? I have been searching for springs for this car. Have not had any luck. Anyone?

joshg1001 05-02-2017 01:40 AM

^^ I believe Vic has the air body control and since he is an MB tech, he has access to the Star diagnostic system which allows him to change the ride height

vic viper 05-02-2017 02:00 AM

Correct, but using the Star Diagnostic you can only go so low, to lower even further you will need to modify the height sensors at each wheel using adjustable links.


There are two different H&R lowering kits available for steel suspension, they lower 30mm (on paper)


H&R-28.740.1 up to 1105kg front axle weight and
H&R-28.740.2 from 1106kg front axle weight


The latter is normally used for larger engines and 4-matic as they are heavier up front, but we usually use the lighter spring in all applications as it tends to lower a bit more.

The wait is finally over. Ordered November 29 or so, built March 24 in Sindelfingen and ready for delivery May 1. Hood stars are underrepresented here and so are wagons, so I figured I'd changed that a bit....

Love that color, I was going for it but over here that color is a $5000 option :eek:

salemraucher 05-04-2017 07:34 AM

Between ordering (blindly) and delivery, I had my fair share of doubts after starting to read about the care limitations with this paint (handwash etc.).
Can't say anything about that part yet, but just from the looks of it I am inclined to state that I did everything right... :)

RickInHouston 05-04-2017 09:15 AM

What care limitations for the paint do you speak of?

Here is an article about what not to do when caring for matte paint.

That's quite a downer article, but thanks much for posting.

From what I heard, the finishes supposedly got much better and less sensitive over the years. There are also plenty care products out that tend to matte finishes.

I will certainly not wash my car with two buckets every week (while I appreciate a nice looking car, I am not the type to be investing too much of my time in the upkeep I am embarrassed to say). I'll plan on dousing it down with a power washer every now and then probably, and pay the local hand-wash car wash a visit to see how they perform.

Can't be all that bad as long as you try to avoid auto car washes. And if it is, well, then I just have to drive it until it falls apart if I can't sell it. And I don't see a problem with that, if the fun driving this continues at even a fraction of what it is right now. Love this ride, and am relieved to see proof for the theory that happy drivers rarely post their positive experiences on boards like this, but the unfortunate owners who scored a lemon (rightfully so) air their grievances here. I was a bit concerned following many of these posts here over the past few months.

Best of luck to those of you who have issues with their rides. I hope one day you'll get to experience how great this vehicle is when all systems work as they are supposed to.

Car and brakes looks great! Who painted them? The dealership or an aftermarket body shop? I asked my dealership (United States) about painting the calipers on an E300 and they said they wouldnt do it.

Hi the dealership here has a paint and panel shop that you can take your car if you have an accident or need any body work done i was told that they do this a lot here and it was not that hard to do it even has a warranty on this work same as the car.

Sweet! I'm doing almost the same, but adding night package (MY 2018 has that) along with the air body control, 3 zone climate and panorama roof.

I still have time to change the color and I *do* like the Lunar Blue. Please let me know if the interior gets too hot or not :)

Lol - 2 colours I'll never buy again are Cavansite Blue (the ill fated sedan I had for two months) and the green my colleague has. In UK light they pretty much always look black! What a disappointment!

They are not and its kind of silly. The 20s offered in the US for the 300 are simply fuggly. Im not a big fan of the new dynamic design of the other 20s on the 43, I guess Im turning into an old fuddy duddy. The turbine design is both sporty and classy.

joshg1001 06-06-2017 11:53 PM

Yes, it is odd especially since the C class can have multi spokes.

I've had black for so many years and have spent so much time washing them to keep them clean, that this time I went with selenite gray. Hides dirt very well!! But as said before, nothing looks better than a clean, shiny black car.

We are back home from Germany now. Thank you for your nice message about my car. My current car, which I'll enjoy till the new one gets here, is black, so I understand your preference for that color, which is always classy. But we were really pleased with the red when we saw it in person--not red-orange but a lovely deep crimson.

Can you please take a pic underneath so i can see how the they setup the towing hatch ?

I'm planing to buy one here in US next year and i'm wandering how it may possible to install because here we don't have tow pack available.

Thanks.

Week 2 enjoying the E400 Coupe. The new body style is definitely a head turner.

The Blue looks amazing especially with the Brown interior.

I don’t know if y’all knew about these but I ordered these from my parts department. $250, and boy are they comfortable!

Cavansite blue w213
 
Took delivery of my first Mercedes, the last time my family had a Mercedes was a blue w123 over 30 years ago. Continuing the legacy with a cavansite blue w213 and
staying with the traditional grille exclusive version.

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...e065ab3102.jpg

W213 cavansite blue exclusive

No regrets on this colour, it's rich and dark that looks black indoors.

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...8d54225a97.jpg

Dealer ordered white keys which I think are awesome!

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...edebc4220a.jpg

Staggered 18" Goodyear F1 AS3 RFT, 275/40/R18 245/45/R18. Tires too new to comment on them, decent and comfortable enough so far.

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...ffa14c3c4a.jpg

I liked the vertical piping of the seats, fingers crossed on the nappa leather holding up to my family's usage. I liked how they fitted brown seat belts to match the seats. Headrest pillows not included.

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...192a2412f0.jpg

Did not take the widescreen cockpit that all reviews were raving about, I don't miss not having it...So far.

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...4473b8605a.jpg

Picked up some small scratches on the center console during delivery, guess it's inevitable, kept a microfiber cloth for me to clean the oily fingerprints from the shiny trim pieces during my daily peak hour traffic jams.

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...55796f9768.jpg

Easy pack boot box, the adjustable depth is very useful, I do not need to worry about groceries rolling around in the boot when driving.

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...7bb3fa2f97.jpg

Finally, the ambient lights that makes early morning school runs nicer...

Very classy color combination, especially with the traditional grill. Just one question, is that 9-G Tronic badge on the back fitted by the dealer?

It's there when I took delivery but I'm not sure if it's fitted at the factory or by the dealer here.

Mine doesn’t stay clean for long enough to take a ton of nice pictures, but here’s the outside at least. Inside I have widescreen cockpit, hud, drive pilot, black nappa and I also went for air suspension. I suppose the idea was sporty on the outside, comfy on the inside.

The rear does look a bit low. Any way to adjust it?

What do you have planned next?

nashvilletn 09-28-2017 11:11 AM

The technicians at Mercedes pointed out that the factory wheel arch is lower in the rear so it gives the illusion that it’s lower. I wish vogtland would’ve compensated for that.

Thank you my friend.

to be honest i never wanted a silver E Class, although that combination is normally ubiquitous.

I was going to order a Kallaite Green, which is known as Piedmont Green in America, with beige / nut brown interior. There was a special edition launched in Australia called the Night Edition which includes: black lamella (not silver) grille, black accents, panoramic roof, AMG pack exterior, elegance interior (therefore you could order beige), and a few other good options, metallic paint, black and bright silver wheels.

In Australia the cars are always specced higher than overseas markets so they include things like COMAND, Apple Car Play, leather, full digital dash as standard

If you have AMG pack in Oz you cant get beige, if you like a lighter interior.

They offered this on the 200 and 220d and as i do a lot of distance driving (drove 452km yesterday one way) , the 220d has been a great engine. If they offered the night edition in a 350d or a 300 i may have chosen that but it was a limited special edition. I chose the saloon over the coupe as i have elderly family members to take in to consideration and i was this >< close to the coupe with magno paint and porcelain and black interior :slap:

Pretty much the same for me, just ordered the E class in silver, with the AMG pack, should be arriving in Australia as well next year. Wish MB Australia give us more choices for interior color and trims.

mickhoog 09-30-2017 05:38 AM

I was first worried that the 220 wouldn’t be enough but like the Carsguide video i was watching its more than enough.

Also a great resale color :)

mickhoog 09-30-2017 10:34 PM

I must admit i prefer the silver with the night pack - somehow the black lamellas make all the difference to me.
I also love the mixed colour it brings, not sure i could do a black car with black wheels. I don’t mind a silver or white with it.

I recently sold my SLK to make way for the E class , but now i am missing my baby - does anyone else have a Mercedes convertible?

I hear a lot about the resale of the car, but truth be told, in Australia the e class has terrible resale regardless. The best performing cars on resale are the SUVs such as GLE, ML, etc. Pity really as i think the E class is what Mercedes is all about. So perhaps its just quicker to sell as opposed to financially better (i wonder) :-)

Yes, I keep an SL which is my own car. My E Coupe is a company car.

I can well understand why you would miss the SLK - Mercedes do these grand touring convertibles with a lot of style and comfort, even though the weather in the U.K. plays a big part in how much I actually use it!

Dad has an SL 500 and its a beautiful car. I just miss the top down experience.

I wouldn't mind the C convertible however it doesnt have car play in Oz, i like the car play so i can do messaging when i need to on the go. Whereas COMAND i cant make text messages with iphone 7

Do you want the actual AMG wheels or aftermarket ones that have the same mesh style and can be ordered in any sizes you want while still being more lightweight and more durable than these?

Those look like original equipment, which I'm surprised fit an E300. I like the look...black mesh with thin polished rim. If they are OE, I would like to know more (part nbr if possible).

What similar rims do you have? I like the mesh style, AND, don't want any that stick out beyond the wheel openings.

Aappreciate any help.

We specialize in custom forged wheels meaning we can pick our own fitments and have the wheels completely flush with the fenders (never passed them). I have tons of options like the HRE P40SC. Feel free to contact me directly to learn more.

The car is in the showroom, going to collect it next month. Dealer sent the pics below (they are potato quality).

Luxury/Exclusive
Obisidian Black
Nut Brown/Espresso Brown Interior.
Driving Assistance Plus (Drive Pilot)
Technology Pack (Wide screen, HUD, Comand + some other stuff)

Next steps: Replace ugly piano centre console, better rims, black tint, thinking about max legal in the front and limo black in the back.

If you find a burl walnut center console, post pics, source and price.
I have not been able to find one.

I'm actually not even sure if it's burl walnut I have it's what I thought I ordered, can't remember (dealer couldn't do open pore ashwood so I said I don't really care they all look good except the pin stripe ones)

I usually look at kunzman.de but I haven't seen a walnut one either, not sure what other centre console will look in-place.

Not sure if you guys have seen, MB has made gloss wood trim available on the center console, so perhaps we can order it and place it on the E class.

c4004matic 12-07-2017 09:36 PM

I pesonally dislike glossy wood finishes they have so much laquer that they might as well be plastic.

thanks very much, see below for side pic :). It's sitting lower than a normal exlusive/luxury cause it has 677 rather than 485, going to get the dealer to let me change it out if I don't like the ride. I made another post about it.

I'm not sure, I think the 20s multispoke AMGs look the best and they maintain the exclusive/luxury look, but I think they might ruin the ride. might go for the 18 AMGs, but then they might ruin the exclusive/luxury look :(

Against the trend of matte, flat, and dark, but I like it. Sort of old school.
Settled for a P1 car a year ago. Sales guy called me (my 4 or 5th purchase from him) and said he has my colors in 2018 P2 package. The rest is history.

:rolf: Definitely not a homie...BUT what's old is new. Chrome is making a comeback. Check out this 2018 AMG S63 Convertible with chrome mesh lower grills and near chrome wheels. Bottom of the link page.
You guys should jump on the trend early. :Happy New Year.

Just picked this up from dealer inventory over the weekend. 2018 E4004W, Luxury Line, P1, natural grain brown ash, black on black. If I had ordered this I would have gone with burl walnut but otherwise this is close to ideal. First car with mbtex instead of leather, so far I'm not offended by it.

Thanks. I had just come from the BMW dealership and in my opinion MBTex is competitive with BMW Dakota leather.

mobster600 03-19-2018 04:55 PM

I was in the same boat as you, wanting leather and not one car had it. Leather is nice but does need maintaining and is ~2k option. The mbtex is rugged and durable. I don’t get worried about it as I would with leather. I think the trade off is worth it

Turned in the C and picked up a new E300 sport...have to say this really is a nice car, only wish I would have been able to get the car with the factory 19" AMG wheels, so I could just add spacers and be done.
The 18's that came on it look ok with the dark package, but the 19's look so clean, and I want to be sure and do a wheel that does not cheapen the look of the car or the brand.
Decisions decisions? Love seeing some of the different cars and combinations here, some nice cars, congrats to all!
I need to do some paint work as I did with the C class, so I will post pics when it's done, but for now here are the pics before I picked it up from the Dealer.

Cheers!

220D in cavansite blue with avantgarde trim, machiatto beige leather, dark ash wood, and a variety of extras, the stand out of which is so far definitely drive pilot, which is amazing.

It's specified for comfort, hence the 17s and it feels pure luxury.

​​​I've not tried the multibeam headlights in earnest yet, but they look cool when they turn on with the dancing patterns and the blue accents.

The sunroof and sound system are lovely extras.

Your car looks fabulous. What kind and size (especially width and offset) of wheels are those?
I am looking for 20" for the winter mode even though I have the original AMGs with summer tires at home now. But I want something different.

I would just want to have a look at it how it would be with -60mm or something in park :).

Whut? How is that possible? I mean in standard mode the car is high enough to park in front of curbs.
So how is it possible to scrape the front?

I drove a lowered 3-series wagon before and it was almost impossible with it to get into a car park building. The additional front lip was broken multiple times, but with the e-class this wont happen.

ua549 04-23-2018 03:51 PM

I've scraped a couple of times leaving a local shopping center. I now avoid it by making sure to exit at an angle, not perpendicular to the street.

Congratulations on getting back into an E-Class. I love the contrast in the photos. I also like how you lowered the car even though it really shows off the weak offsets from the OEM wheels. Are you going to go the aftermarket wheel route so you can get wider wheels & tires + a better stance?

i am going to go with spacers for now to see how that looks . It’s on a 2 year lease so I don’t know if i want to go aftermarket wheels and tires especially when i have tire and wheel protection built into my lease . Roads are not the greatest on Hawaii.

2 years is a veeeery long time to be looking at stock wheels every day. I know from experience as I have a 3-year lease and got tired of looking at the wheels month two and order HRE P107's. Best decision I ever made with the car.

Lowered this on the eBay lowering module. Worked great. Currently sitting at - 39mm Too bad my winter tires are still on with terrible offset. New rims this week!

These rims are really special but for some reason I'd prefer others on this car.
Furthermore I don't like the silver/bronze colors to the blue/black of the car. But the car and rims itself are awesome. Just my opinion.

Can you confirm that the rear is 11" wide? I can only find 10.5 " wide. Also, what tire size / brand did you go with?

That set up looks perfect! Are those S63 take offs, or an AMG Replica wheel? I gotta say, that application and spoke design look really good!

Thank you. I wanted to stick with oem wheels, the issue is the E300 requires higher offsets, cancelling out all OEM amg style wheels I was interested in.

The wheels on my car are replica S63 wheels. I bought them from ExtoicWheels, they were the only seller I could find that had these wheels in the correct offset for the E300. If you go on eBay there are sellers who have these wheels posted for sale and say they will fit the E-Class, they are selling wheels with an offset of 35 on a 20x8.5 and 20x9.5 wheel which will fit the E300 but will poke out past the fender.

With a 45 offset, the wheels are flush with the body front and back.

MBJIMBO 05-10-2018 11:58 AM

Thanks G3710 for the wheel info. I am still not sure what to put on the car yet, when I turned in the C I pulled the spacers I had on the 19's and put them on the E with the 18's just to fill out the fenders a bit, for those wanting to maybe do the same I am using 12mm front with 15mm rear hub-centric spacers, but the wheel design and pad thickness of this particular wheel is different from the 19" multi spoke, so I had to get different bolts and I am using black 60mm bolts front and rear. It is amazing how much different the car looks with the fenders being filled up.https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...503bc1da03.jpg

I ran spacers for the time I had my 18" stock wheels as well, your car looks good. Do you plan to lower it?

Honestly no, I hear the front lower valance scrape in dips and in my driveway from time to time if I am moving the car too fast and it gets a good bounce, and already a tire block barely clears, so I just think lowering it would cause me more headaches than not. I think filling the wheel wells with the right offset and size wheels and tires will provide just the right aggressive stance. I guess I am getting old LOL!!!
That is not to say that the car would look really killer lower, for sure it would, but just from a functional standpoint it would cause me more trouble and paint repairs than it would satisfaction for looking cool!

Very jealous, this is the colour our estate will be. Very unusual to see one with a light interior (here in Germany). We were going for the beige interior with our SE (Avantgarde outside of UK) and then adding a set of 19" alloys, but have now gone AMG Line (NAS sport) with the 20" multi-spoke, but have had to change the interior to Saddle Brown as MB UK don't let you have beige interior with an AMG Line car.

I haven't mashed it yet, but the sound is more refined and you know there's a whole lot of power under there waiting to be unleashed. My partner is perfectly happy with the E300. It's got plenty of power and I'm sure I wouldn't have had an issue with it either, but after 3 years with the C300, I really wanted the Bi-Turbo V6 of the E400.

My wife is slightly more conservative. That said, it is nice to go out on a really crisp winters day on snow covered roads. Always laught when I see those cabriolet owners (of any brand) who clearly regret the lack of heated seats or airscarf type equipment as they sit there in puffa jackets and woolly hats, whcilst we just set the heating to 28c and drive as normal! That said given the drop in temp from 28c last week to about 9c this week it won't be long before the winter tyres go on.....

Even though it was ceramic coated, I still like to have a coat of high quality wax put on. So my detailer just spent 4 hours detailing the car and the wax I prefer is Collinite pure carnauba. It's amazing wax, long lasting and very durable. So just a few more pics!

Putting a ceramic coating on a car is a great thing. It truly protects the paint, but there is still nothing IMHO like a high quality wax over the ceramic coat. Doing one immediately after the ceramic coat produces what my pictures show. Sublime brilliant shine!

Those wheels look very nice on your estate, and I am a sucker for that interior.

Bfgslkman 11-11-2018 02:02 AM

Thanks. Considering they are wafer thin the ride is excellent, whether that is because if the air suspension or not I do not know as I have never driven a non air car. However, given a concrete road surface they do rumble a bit, but I think that is because they have run flat tyres.

I have to say though that the inside is more tan/toffee coloured than the pictures suggest. Personally I would have liked the light beige interior, but MB UK won't let you have it unless you buy a petrol "proper" AMG model but there was no way I was going blue out and black in.

Finally getting around to posting the new 2019 E450 Wagon with AMG sport package. In short, she's a vast improvement on my old 2015 E350 Wagon. Lithe, stable, finesse and linear power. I'm counting the days until the break-in is complete!

Hi could you please post more pictures of your ride??! I have the night paskage as well and its “blacked out” —not really Mercedes. Your black accents are exactly what I want to do on my car. You already got me sold on the front grill. Looks so much better. Could you post another picture of the rear? I want to see the black badges and the chrome strip off. Thanks!

nycebo 12-16-2018 03:45 PM

I too love the front grill. Is it OEM and what's the price?

The grill itself is OEM its a MB AMG sport line grill which comes also on the E class with the Night package which has most of the chrome removed. The posted pics we were talking about above are that grill is either vinyl wrapped of painted to black out the entire thing and pretty much a chrome removal as it should of been included in the actual "night package" from the factory.
Im going to do a complete chrome removal I just want to see some more pics of what im going to expect. As for the front grill im 1000% on board.

Here is the night package grill in OEM form.

'19 E450 Wagon Luxury Trim Silver Designo Anthracite/ Grey
 
4 Attachment(s)
Got a sunny day for once to take some pics of my new wagon. I know it's a bit dirty. I actually had OptiCoat Pro+ put on a couple weeks ago and I'm supposed to wait a few more days before it's first wash. I'll have them coat it up with a nice wax as well, then hope to get thru some of this winter. I enjoy washing my cars in my driveway and garage- hopefully we'll get an oddball warm enough day.

Will see how I do thru this winter on these all-season run flats. But typically I much prefer separate sets of good performance snow tire & summer tire- no run flats.

I don't love the luxury grill, particarly the terminator radar plates & eyeball. But I did want the slightly higher ride & travel heights for our crummy New England roads.

Otherwise I figure a silver MB wagon finally qualifies me to go to the grocery with all the other mom's in town! Stealthy!

These mods are nicely done, especially those E 43 style front bumper side fins with the chrome edges. Can you tell us where do you get the diamond front grill and those E 43 style bumper fins?

I left some rain spots and smudges from last night's rain- just to trigger the OCD among us. :) I'll have to clean it and then repark to keep the wheel hub covers oriented perfectly vertical.

I had a great morning on an airport run, pushing it harder than I had been (1000 miles now, whoop!)- Feeling a bit smaller to me than she had. My wife says they are "Judy Garland" tail lights.

rbrylaw 01-06-2019 01:48 PM

As a founding partner in the OCD, I don't see the rain spots you said are there, but I'm impressed if you do and applaud your intention to wipe it down properly!

I think your wife has coined the tail lights perfectly! They are Judy Garland lights!!

Finally ready to post
 
Hello all,

Though I've been a member for years and have been active on several threads, this forum included, I'm finally ready to post pics. This is a story of a W212 and a W213. This is a somewhat happy, sad, and bittersweet story of sorts, so bear with me. It has a happy ending though.

Having grown up with my dad driving MB diesels ('95 E300D, '99 E300TD, '05 E320 CDI, '09 ML320 CDI, '11 ML350 BT, '14 ML350 BT, '16 GLE 300d, with one exception, a gasoline 260E), I have always loved MB diesel engines, so when I bought my first MB, a 2014 GLK250BT seemed a logical choice. I had even bought a used 2008 ML320CDI for my wife as a wedding present, though it became clear that its high mileage and rust belt origins wasn't a good long term solution. So, in In 2014, I ordered a 2015 W212 E250BTC4. If there ever was a car that was a "soulmate car", this was it. I anxiously waited for 3.5 months for it to arrive. This car has driven us up to Ontario, and all the way down to Key West. It brought our first child home from the hospital two years ago in 2017. In 3 years, we had over 71k miles on it.

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...bbbd756eec.jpg

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...ba567c65cd.jpg
It's by and large the most beautiful car I've ever had.

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...61ea2ef50a.jpg
However, in April of 2018, disaster struck. I was proceeding through a green light very close to home, when someone turned left from the opposing side, right in front of me. I was going 45-50 MPH at the time. The other driver was clearly not paying attention at all, and continued to drive in front of my path even though I was feet away from hitting them. It was 45ฐ and raining, and we only put winter tires on our GLK. There was no avoiding the other car. All the safety systems had kicked in, but the colder temps meant stiff tires, and the rain meant there was no stopping. I jerked the wheel at the last moment to avoid killing the other car's passenger. We collided on front quarter panels. You can see the results.


https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...96d3d5931f.jpg
A cop came 1.5 hours after the accident and faulted me, despite no witnesses or cameras. Fortunately, though the insurance case went to arbitration, they ruled in my favor. The initial insurance estimate was $7500. That gave me a good laugh. $28,000 later, the car was fully repaired.

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...26aa25e0a3.jpg
It almost looked good as new! I was thrilled to have the car back 1.5 months later. For those of you in the Louisville area, Precision Collision does the best body work I have ever seen on any car, bar none. Can't recommend them enough. I got the car back in June. On November 9th of 2018, I received two calls from my insurance.
The first said that I was not at fault for the accident. Two hours later, they called back and told me that they needed to buy back my car. I was shocked, and upset. The car was in perfect shape! However, under KY state law, spending more than 70% of the value of the car in repairs means it's a total loss. Apparently, the insurance company had not added up the repair costs as they continued to approve twelve repair supplements. After a week of finding my bearings, it was clear that the insurance buyout was the best option. The value loss was simply too high. But still, imagine that, six months later, your insurance tells you that the car is totaled! I was especially sad because the OM651 and its siblings are no longer available in the US. I know, some of you will say that the OM651 was underpowered. There may be some truth to that. However, in general, it was an unbelievable engine, and got me 50+MPG on good days, even with 4MATIC. I had hoped to keep it for much longer. I'm grateful to still have it on our GLK, though it is a bit less efficient due to the tuning and the GLK's tall body.

I contacted my dealer, hoping to find an iridium silver E300W4 with the driver assistance package, pano roof, 4MATIC, and the multibeam LEDs. We found what looked to be the perfect car, but it turns out it had already been sold to someone else. So, we found a build slot to modify, which would have delivered a car by December. While we were changing the options, and getting manager's approval, the build slot closed! At that point, I couldn't count on the insurance to stretch the buyback to February or March. So, I scoured the region for a car, and while I compromised on color, I actually think that the Designo Diamond White is an incredible color. See what I found below!

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...da5bf191bd.jpg
Our new 2019 E300W4 at the dealer.

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...dbc439b83d.jpg
The E300W4, along with the E250BT4, which was about to be bought back by insurance.

So, at the end of November or beginning of December, I brought my old W212 to the dealer, along with keys, to have the insurance pick it up there. I inquired where the car would be resold. The insurance company informed me that it would go up for sale on the auction site Copart. I began pitching the car to friends and family. The timing turned out to be just right, because my in-laws were interested in the car. Long story short, just a few days ago, we were able to win the car back at auction! I am so happy and grateful that the car will stay in the family! I was so relieved that this was the outcome, as the car is in flawless condition, with all major services and almost all consumable items almost new.

Anyway, I do love the new W213 E300W4. The old W212 is the best car I've ever had. The W213 is better. Though I don't get nearly as good fuel efficiency, it's more fun to drive, is lighter, much more responsive, Distronic is far more advanced, it drives like a dream, is smoother, and the tech is all around better. One thing, however, is that the long interior (and to some point exterior) design lineage that traces its roots to the W124 is no longer visible in the W213. I kind of miss it. Others didn't like it and found it outdated, but I really enjoyed it. Still, I'm very happy with the new car, and it's a phenomenal vehicle to have. @rbrylaw , you mentioned that of your many MBs, the W213 is the best you've ever had. I can probably agree with that.

All in all, I'm very grateful for how this turned out. That's the story! Thanks for bearing with me, if you followed along. Happy driving!

stephos 01-07-2019 07:13 AM

A happy ending indeed @bytemaster0

A real shame about what happened in that accident - I can relate!

Great how things turned out though and both cars look amazing.

Welcome to club 213!

rbrylaw 01-07-2019 09:02 AM

A great post and I'm so happy you agree with me that the W213 is the best car! The story and pictures were great. So sorry you had to go through what you went through, but it appears the outcome had a happy ending! Here's to many many happy, healthy and SAFE miles in your new beauty!!

Nice Brabus front lip, How did you install it, and does it require any drilling of the front bumper?

Thanks. Drilling is suggested, as it comes with places for them every 4-6 inches but that seems a bit too excessive. There are several ways you can do this, drill only, 3M double sided tape only, or use epoxy type glue, or a combination of any of the three. I used only 2 screws kind of in the middle points and then 3M double sided tape. And the lip simply slides onto your bottom bumper like a C shape kind of, this is where I used 3M double sided tape if I ever decide to remove the lip then I can remove the screws, no one will never see those that they are there since they are under the bumper, and there shouldnt be much scratches on the bumper from the lip touching the lip due to the cushion of the tape. In my previous car I used epoxy glue and it worked great also but that was more of a permanent type install. It was already rain and wind tested and holds without budging.

Nothing else at this time. The Brabus modifications are a little too extreme with other accessories. But I did love the front lip. I initially went with a CF option from another brand but I decided that I want to keep the theme gloss black instead.

Amazing, 20x9.5 et20 upfront! I tried 20x8.5 et18 and poke was about 12mm. With your setup, my poke would be a full inch. Two differences - you're lowered, I'm not; E43 vs. E450 (however, to my knowledge, unlike E63, all fenders are identical between E53/43/450/400/300). The only reasonable conclusion is: lowering allows for significantly lower offsets, which otherwise would be impossible.

Yes I am assuming that the negative camber caused when I lower the car compensates for the poke. When I raise the car up (I have fully adjustable air ride, via obd lowering module) I notice that the wheels look more flush with the fenders creating a bit more poke.

I’m convinced the cabs are one of the best looking cars on the road. I like your color combo. One option I wish my cab had was the digital dash plus u get that extra led ambient light over it with that. Which tires does yours have. ? I got the Michelin primacy 3s with mine and really like them. Great ride. Not quite as solid in the corners as my wagon Goodyear Eagle sports but much more comfortable and less road noise.

rustybear3 03-25-2019 08:31 AM

I have the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Run Flat, and though I traditionally hate run flats, these tires have been quiet and smooth riding. I most likely will go back to conventional Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus when the time comes, but until then, I'm more than happy with these tires.

I agree, I just love the digital dash and the ambient light system. Best 800 dollar option I've ever gotten.

I agree the MB CABS are absolutely stunning! I get comments almost daily on my beauty. I'm just jealous I can't have the top down as frequently as you do; however in a couple more weeks...look out!!!

rox 03-26-2019 07:09 PM

Rusty it looks very nice and those vents with ambi lights are stunning.

fleuger99 04-01-2019 02:38 PM

Absolutely lovely wagon. Could you post a pic of the seats? Is this the Nut Brown leather interior? I'm going to be ordering my wagon in May/June and looking to order the Lunar Blue Metalic with the Nut Brown leather interior. Happy motoring with your new baby.

rbrylaw 04-01-2019 02:45 PM

While not a Wagon, I do have a 2019 E450 in Lunar Blue with the Nut Brown Leather. Here's an interior photo:

Thanks for posting a pic. That looks great, you have the same wood trim I was thinking of getting. Any regrets with this interior color? I usually get black so thought the Nut Brown might be a nice change. The Macchiato Beige is nice but too light as I have my two Greyhounds in my car daily.

If you haven't relooked, I replaced the single photo (turns out wasn't my car) and replaced it with two photos, which ARE my car. And no, NO regrets at all. I absolutely LOVE the combination.

The Machiatto beige holds up really well too 😀

its practically industructable and cleans up very well. Looks good. Does not feel as soft and smooth as real leather I guess they made it a little more course to give some people the incentive to spend the extra money. But it’s not like I’m running my hand over my seats constantly lol. I’m sure it’s more tough than leather the seats in my Cabrio with leather will tear long before my seats in my wagon in another ten years.

A new car for me had been in the budget for a year. I'd been waiting for the E450 to come out, and I looked at this wagon at my local MB dealer back in November when they got it in. I thought we were going to wait until May-June because of taxes, but she was able to pull the trigger on it early as a Valentine's Day gift. She's sneaky. And awesome.

Edit: Least you feel sorry for her, she drives a 2018 Porsche Cayenne S.

The back passenger side wheel has started to make a hollow/floppy sound over bumps between 20mph-50mph. It still sits level, the handling hasn't changed, and I'm the only one who seems to notice it. I have 3,400 miles on it, and if it continues, I'll have them take a look at it during the 10k mile service. Other than that, it's been AMAZING.

Finally got the windows tinted
 
Had it done this weekend. Went relatively modest given NY state regulations. 55 pct transmission up front and 35 pct transmission in the rear and trunk. Think it matches the black package much better now and visibility all excellent.

As for tint, I used Xpel Ceramic ring installed by Enthusiast Detail in Mamaroneck. Great group of guys and unbelievable cars on hand getting serviced.

Here is my 2019 Mercedes E300.

List of things done so far

- Xpel PPF (whole car)
- Ceramic window tint (15% back and 35% front)
- Debaged
- Blacked out front grill, lower lip, door handles, window trim, rear difuser, exhaust cover, etc (Chrome delete everywhere possible)
- Painted stock rims gloss black with red "AMG" calipers writing
- Carbon Fiber front lip
- Carbon Fiber spoiler

grossmsj 06-06-2019 10:06 AM

Debadged. You are taking off many or all of the plastic stick on things, like E400 (on the trunk), or AMG on the front fenders. Gives it a cleaner, meaner look.

The picture looks like it is inside the dealership. So my guess that this was already there prior to the poster buying the car.
And you can get the chrome pieces on different websites if you search.

I didn't order the night package, but did order the tint on all windows.

After looking at @mcflo pictures of his blacked out wagon - its got a really aggressive look to it. I might have to get the chrome bits wrapped in black....

I got 100 octane as it is only one thats unleaded. 110 and 112 were both leaded. I typically get 5 gallons in. It was $11.99 per gallon at the track. The gas station local to me is $9.99 per gallon for 100 octane. And yepp its a 4 cyl. 2.0L.

Do you prefer the blue or the white?
And, like other posters, do you find the 19 anymore refined or just the same?

amaximeya 07-31-2019 12:23 PM

I like both colors. The blue contrasted well with the Macchiato Beige and black ash wood. The new one (white) looks sharp too and is also Macchiato Beige but with walnut trim. I'm not yet a fan of the walnut look (too shiny) but time will tell. I do love how the white exterior contrasts from the all-black roof (panoramic roof option).

Driving wise they both are the same except the new one feels tighter. THis is all due to the age / miles on the old car (17k miles when I drove it last).

I do like some of the new / updated features like themed ambient lighting and recording ability for satellite radio. Having a non black trim center console is nice as well. Drove me nuts on the old car, always looked dirty and was fairly scratched up.

My favorite new feature is the new steering wheel design. Worlds better than the old one.

Can you try to expand on the tighter feeling?
Do you just mean in suspension overall? Because honestly i dont think 17k miles should beat up a benz unless it was driven really aggressively and even so haha.

amaximeya 07-31-2019 04:42 PM

You'd be surprised what 17k living in a city (DC) with not always the best roads can do to a car. It's not really that big of a difference but you can notice it. A new car is a new car. An old car is... well... an old car :)

I was disappointed they didn’t have any with the night package until I learned it can all be vinyl wrapped. I thought the only alternative was to have them painted, which I was not going to do on a lease.

The tires are not run-flats, I did p-zeros... they originally came with lexani tires but they were garbage and the road noise what’s worse than a truck with 37’s. Not going to lie, the wheel setup totally kills the ride over stock. Additionally, I bent 2 wheels already due to the rubber band tires and had to buy 2 more. Roads in NY are terrible.

Unfortunately, most aftermarkets do bend really easily compared to stock...

I believe the wheel quality are the biggest factor in your wheels bending so quickly. I have customers in New York with 21" ANRKY's & HRE's that run even lower profile tires than these and they haven't had a single bend for months.

With aftermarket wheels you can select from thousands of wheels that span across a wide price range. The majority of these wheels are stronger and lighter than OEM wheels. When you hover around the $2k mark for a set & below the wheel options typically are at the lower end of the quality spectrum.

They were well over 2k and are rotary forged... which is the strongest of strong. When you hit a pothole the size of Texas, any rim will bend

I see them listed here for significantly less - https://www.carid.com/vertini-wheels...819008983.html. And "rotary forged" is basically a fancier way to say cast wheels. A truly custom forged wheels is the strongest wheel you can purchase.

With all this said I hope that the wheels work out for you and any others that have them. We find no pleasure in seeing this sort of damage to wheels :(

Looks like in the 20's it is $1520 for all 4 wheels. I got the Mandrus 21's on my car and got them for $1200 for all four. So far they are standing up well to the rough roads here in RI. But ya, like you said if the pot hole is big enough it will do in any wheel and tire. Heres mine.

Hi
i had my car in for wrapping yesterday.
1 they couldn’t wrap the roof rails. They said the rails are flush with the roof, and there is no place to tuck the 3M wrapping.
2 they weren’t able to wrap the silver part of the wings in the grill. I see yours is completely black. Is it original night package grill or is it painted?

Nice wheels. What kind are they? So, ceramic is for tinting now, too? Confusing...

Nice to see mud guards, and they look good. Are they MB OEM or what? Where did you get them?

The wheels are Velox Custom Ordered Wheels . You probably didn’t notice but the calipers are also painted

Correct, ceramic tint is more expensive than dyed tint, however it blocks more of the uvula violet rays and dissipate heat much better without being too dark. The day I tinted the car it was almost midday and was a very hot day in the upper 90’s. I was unable to rest my hand on the door armrest because it was so hot. On my way home a couple hours later, I was blown away with the difference on how much cooler it was and was able to rest my hand on the door

The car on an a whole is much cooler in the day. The bright sunlight during the day and bright lights at night are no longer an issue. I even had the panoramic sunroof tinted as well. Now I can enjoy opening the interior shade which I had not done much in two years

Mud guards are not MB OEM because I didn’t want to spend the extra money. The MB OEM was appropriately $200 and I paid $50 on eBay, instead them myself.

Did you tint the windshield too? If so is it a clear tine? Didn't think you were allowed to tint the windshield.

I agree, but hadn't found mud guards on eBay that said they would match newer Luxury models, and the side lower structure is different with AMG trim. Do you have a number or link? What year is your beauty?

You then select the year and model. May only be available for Luxury model but I could be wrong

No I didn’t tint the windshield only two side front, two side rear, rear and panoramic sunroof

Non run flat tires are the difference between night and day in my opinion. I have the Luxury model with 17” wheels and my car now feels like a S class. The Bridgestone Quiet Track are also designed for quite and comfort. Purchased 4 for what I would have had to pay for 2 run flat tires. I used one original rim with a run flat tire for spare in my trunk with a jack

Hey, thank you very much.
The tinting is original MB from factory. The front and side windows are not tinted at all. It might look like on the picture but it's not tinted.

Interesting. I just purchased a new 19 E4504S with the night pkg but really didn’t notice the OEM glass tint before driving it 2o miles and dropping off for clearbra and ceramic pro. Will pick it up in 2 weeks and will look closer.

Sorry, maybe there is a misunderstanding. The tinting is still optional equipment but it can be ordered from the factory. That's what I meant :)

The pictures make the tint look darker than it is in person. I don’t actually know the percent tint. I told the shop to go as dark as is legal. its not listed on my invoice. To my eye, the driver and front passenger tints are the same as the rear passenger. I’ve read that 38% is what we can do here, but I vaguely recall my shop talking about 35% some months back. I’ll check with them. I moved here from a state where we could do 25% (which is what I had on my w212), so it just doesn’t seem that dark to me.

I've never seen a tinted glass option on the (U.S.) web building process or the DOG, and when going over (supposedly) all possible options when I ordered my wagon - pardon me - Estate, tint was not offered as well.

fintail 06-13-2020 11:21 PM

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.

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.

fintail 06-15-2020 11:31 PM

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?

I used the attached specs for my MY 2018 pre-delivery acceptance inspection. The gap should be ~4 mm.

anxx3 07-02-2020 12:14 AM

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 :(

Gene Gorman 07-14-2020 02:59 PM

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.

Gene Gorman 07-14-2020 07:36 PM

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.

Just a quick photo of the wagon. Finally finished putting in the new grill and the wheel spacers. 10mm in the front and 12mm in the rear. Thanks to the forum for the help in selecting the sizes for the spacers. I think it looks perfect now.

Gene Gorman 08-17-2020 05:49 PM

It’s funny that you say that. When I had the bumper off some of the parts are stamped AMG.

2012 merc amg 08-17-2020 06:40 PM

Lol. I’ve had both a 2018 e63 amg wagon and a 2019 e450 wagon. I actually like the way the e450 wagon drives better than the amg lol. Much more comfortable and with the Dina. Tuner the star has gobs of low end torque. Tempting to go with a full tune. Very happy with the e450. I guess maybe I had a Friday car or something with the amg. It just didn’t feel right at all and I hated taking trips in that car. I wanted the trip to end lol.

crazy though because I really liked my 2012 that’s why I got the 2018. Should kept the 2012 looking back on it and just driven it over 100k miles.

Gene Gorman 08-17-2020 07:03 PM

I had a 2012 e63 wagon. It was originally owned by the German government and picked up at the factory with every option. It then made it to Washington DC to be used as a diplomat vehicle. The was bought by a independent Mercedes shop in Virginia who also was a RENNtech dealer. It had over 700 hp and over 800 tq. It was a blast to drive. I regret selling it. It was a very special car. I do like the e450 but there is no comparison to the 2012 e63. It was just crazy fast but still drove like a nice Mercedes .

Brand new (to me) E400 Wagon, and boy do I love this car! Have wanted a fun wagon for a while now and this car delivers. Fitted a new grille as well as some little performance bits and a tune. Next up, some tint and something done about this whisper quiet exhaust!

Hello from Bulgaria, there is my little (2.0L Diesel 4matic mod) everyday toy...I have it from 6 months and this is the most sophisticated car i've ever drived. Here in Eastern Europe, if you searching a car with small engine it's very valuable if it has more options for further sale. Despite of the fact that here we have bad roads and highways, i love air-matic option. It's really like a boat in the lake.

Had it done at the dealer and paid way too much. They had it for a week... They had not done the retrofit in E-class before and kept getting the wrong parts. I guess it was more difficult because I have the camera package. They told me they eventually had to get the parts list by tracking down the VIN from someone who had this done in the same model.

I can name multiple things that I am more ashamed of. Unlike the lot, it gives the car an unique look and is easy to recognize. Audi Centercaps and Mercedes centercaps are different sizes - and running with no centercap or a china-one is really not giving me less shame, plus it will look less complete(IMO)

A little passage of time since purchase, but here's my new wagon. Canvasite blue, but a gemologist acquaintance of mine said MB has no idea what they're talking about. At best, it's sapphire!

Thats interesting a E300 AMG. It even has the AMG tips. Are those the stick on fake tips? Thats pretty darn rare though a E300 with the 3D audio. I have the 3D audio in my S class and really am enjoying it, the sound is pretty incredible. What year is that car? Did you do the AMG badging and tips or the former owner?

The previous owner did the badging (which I am going to remove) I don’t like having that badge there when I know is not an AMG car and the tips were there too but those I do like, so I’m leaving those. That’s exactly what I thought when I notice it had the 3D sound system, which sounds incredible!! I previously had a 2016 c300 and had the burmester sound system which was good but nothing compre to this one.. it’s a 2018 model with 34k miles on it.

2012 merc amg 01-08-2021 09:07 AM

I agree on the tips they do look good. Good find on that car ya the 3D audio is amazing.

Can you tell if those tips are the ones that you stick on or the entire exhaust tip came like that (as in the middle part is soldiered on).

Awesome car!!

Is it normal to have two different interior trims, the gloss around the controls in the middle and the matt wood along the dash?

The tips are the stick on type, I will take a close up picture. Is hard to tell just by looking at them but it’s obvious up close haha

im pretty sure is normal because when I was shopping around there were multiple cars that had the gloss black in the center and the ash wood in the dash. I want to change the gloss black center piece to ash wood but I can’t seem to find one yet.

Interesting, I did not know that. I wouldn't touch a car with that piano gloss black. Hello scratches and fingerprints. The C class is a dumper in that regard.

Depends on the year, the center console was not available to match the wood trim.

Gene Gorman 01-09-2021 07:38 PM

Ours is a 2019 and the center console matches the rest of the open grain wood. Our steering wheel also has different leather than yours. No perforated leather just all very soft matt finished leather.

That looks a lot better in my opinion, that’s what I want but the brown ash wood. I will keep looking on eBay and other sites hoping I find one for sale.

jhpmbusa 01-10-2021 09:48 AM

even if you do find one, it wouldn't be from one piece of wood, but should be fine if you arent ocd ;)

Wow I love that color!! Where can I ordered me a brown ash wood center console piece? I heard on a different thread that it was discontinued but I’m not sure. I guess I should go to the dealership and ask?

Posting my new 2020 E450 wagon. Took delivery on Jan 15th in Ohio and drove it home to Texas. Just got it back today after a full detail and last week had PPF and tint done. For the PPF I did the entire hood, front bumper, headlights and fender flares. Here are some pics I snapped this afternoon. I'm loving it so far and learning all the features and options. In the near future I want to vinyl wrap all the chrome trim pieces with black vinyl, it will look a little more sexy.

I love the look of the 'Luxury' trim. I was on the fence about which trim to get but by the time I pulled the trigger there were no 2020 'Luxury' models available in my price range so the decision was made for me but loving the sport trim as well. Agreed, white is an awesome colour on these cars.

So after several months owning this beauty. Finally I remember to post her picture in this forum.

I took this picture before the ski holiday where I drove her to Arctic Circle in extreme winter temperatures while using German winter tires.

In these pictures she was wearing the winter wheels, they are from W222 S Class 18” original winter wheels set. That’s why the tires looked so fat.

Picked this beauty up about three weeks ago, ordered in December.
Absolutely love the car, smooth ride and the hybrid drivetrain is great.
E300e, Diamond white with AMG package, night package, premium plus, heated steering wheel, drivers assist etc.

We had the E300de version as a loaner for a while, I feel the petrol drivetrain is more refined vs the diesel. The diesel contributed with lower consumption though.

That is the only downside of the 20's in the potential damage due to potholes and the associated cost of replacing them. I saw for the 2021 model, they have an optional multi spoke wheel that look just like this but they are 19's. I was wondering if they would fit a 2020 E450. They'd also be cheaper than the 20's as well.

Hi everyone,

A few pictures today from Cars & Coffee in Newport, RI. Over 470 cars registered, and several Mercedes, including this four day ol 2021 E450 All-Terrain. Included a close up of the 19 inch rims for those who may not have seen them. Seems many of those listed for sale online have the AMG rims.

I look on the brand as being like a franchise. Each country... Mercedes-Benz USA or Mercedes-Benz UK is a part of this franchise and chose what models with what features they want and that is all we can have. We can only have what ‘teacher’ tells us we can have. If for argument's sake, I wanted the remote garage door opening feature (a button on the underside of the interior mirror) No sir that is no longer a feature! Wrong, it is simply not a UK feature. I wanted a light-coloured Nappa leather interior, No sir that is not an available option. I will not name all the features that the UK do not want but I am guessing it is no worse than every other country, although different countries will make different stipulations. We simply get what our National marque deem that we want??

Yes, we live in Torquay and yes it is the town connected with that brilliant comedy series Fawlty Towers. Now to sadly bring some reality to that series. YES, the scripts are derived from the once owner and his wife, but the hotel you see in that series is possibly located in London and bears absolutely NO resemblance to the hotel here in Torquay which was not even called ‘Fawlty Towers’ but never let the truth get in the way of a great comedy series. (Just don’t mention the war) :)

Got it Major Gowen! :) Yes, it was a fantastic comedy series. I was about 13 when I first saw it and living in South Africa. I ended up buying the whole series on DVD back in the 90's while in university in Canada. It is timeless humour.

I agree with how each country gets their options and there are limitations to that. The biggest here in the US, is the decision no longer to offer diesels which are perfect cruisers. My last diesel was a 2018 BMW X5 which got fantastic fuel consumption numbers for its size and the 20" staggered wheel setup that I had on it. I drove from Texas to Toronto Canada (1650 miles) averaging 30.5mpg with an average speed of 77mph. That is real MPG measured by miles driven divided by gallons at fill up. I was impressed. On the MB side, I wish we could get the folding tow hitch like you can get in the UK and EU.

Thanks for the extra pic. Your estate is lovely.

glojo 08-19-2021 11:26 AM

To get the car WE wanted I had to buy it in Europe, these pictures show our car and I have compared it to the front of both the S-class and the AMG-Line UK equivalent. Folks in the UK might like the shape of that variant but obviously we like what we purchased :)

MY21 E350
 
about 2 weeks ago i took delivery of my new MY21 E350.. am enjoying the new ride (after a 2017 E300) with all the cool features i wanted. almost 6+ months wait but it was worth it :)
happy to answer any questions or post additional photos of specific areas
the car is black with Neva Grey leather , designo Black Piano Lacquer Flowing Line, 19-inch AMG 5-twin spoke aero bicolor
and pretty much every package offered
a bit of an adventure as the car i ordered in Dec is still waiting to be built (missing parts) but dealer was able to pull some magic and reallocate this one. only difference was the missing sun protection package

Hello everyone,
Here are some pictures of my 2021 E450 All-Terrain just back today from the installer of paint protection film and ceramic coating. All painted surfaces were wrapped in X-Pel and then all of those surfaces were ceramic coated. Also had coating placed on exterior chrome and plastic trim and entire wheels, as well as all exterior glass. Pictures are not great but hopefully provide some sense of the shine. Happy to answer any questions.
Regards,
Justin

Hey Justin,

Car looks great. So you did PPF on every part of your All-Terrain that is painted? You really want to keep your car looking new :)

Looks fantastic! I also like the luxury trim especially. That color was my first choice but couldn't find one at the end of 2020 so got my second choice of Polar white. I think the wagon's lines and shape look awesome in silver. Happy motoring, they are awesome vehicles.

Hi Makii
Your car looks really nice and 'well loved'

I see that it is a 2017 car so how does the front of your vehicle compare to our new car (built June 2021?

Do you think they are identical?

At a first glance I thought they were identical but as soon as I look very hard there are indeed subtle differences. The car I opted for has a totally different front-end to the AMG-Line and it is very much a case of each to their own regarding like, or dislike

Thanks.
That’s right, got out of a 2016 into a 2020. I had a read through some of the most recent posts and realised most we’re using gens rather than year so I just copied I guess. Also here in the UK the W213 started in 2016 so one overlaps the other

Lanzz 09-04-2021 02:35 PM

Just picked up a 2019 E450 Wagon - was difficult to pass up - 12K miles, cardinal red, driver assist, air body control, panorama roof. Did well on my GLE350 trade - and didn't do so well on the price of the wagon, so I guess it evened out.

The Mercedes designation for this style of E-class is actually 'Exclusive' If it's any consolation, this model is also not imported to the UK market. It's all crazy. Nappa leather comes as standard as does the upgraded hi-fi system..

For those who are wondering where the hybrid battery is located then here's a picture. The boot still has ample room for whatever we want to carry, but I guess if you have long objects that need to rest on the floor, then I would suggest you check before you buy. Incidentally, in the UK that rear compartment is only offered in black!! Makes sense to someone :(

Bought in the UK in August - 2017 E220d AMG Line Premium Plus with 19K miles.

Work so far - full single stage correction with ceramic coating, centre console piano black replaced with wood ash, and more foam added to the dashboard top cover to prevent rattling.

Still do to - replace the vents with the coupe style, and probably some more that I haven't thought of yet...

Congrats on the new wheels. I think our wagons/estates look fantastic in red. The 220d is a 4 cylinder isn't it? What sort of fuel consumption numbers are you seeing with that? I have owned several diesels (Jetta TDI wagon, Touareg TDI and an X5 35d) in the past but after dieselgate they were all taken off of the US market. I'm jealous of you that are able to still acquire them.

The colour was a bit of a compromise - I really wanted the dark green but it's a very rare choice, and the spec of the rest of the car was also quite rare with low mileage and at a decent price so I just had to compromise in the end. Yeah it's a 4 cylinder 190bhp which is really all I need for motorway cruising - it has enough poke if I need it and easily does 50mpg, so about 800 miles to the tank.
When the 213 model was released over here you could ONLY get it with diesel engines unless you went for the E43/E63 - it was several years before they brought out a petrol version!

Yes, the dark green is lovely and very rare. Estates here in the US are very rare in any colour. I'm assuming the 50mpg is imperial which is larger than a US gallon. If you're getting 800 miles on a tank and divide that by the 22 gallon US tank then that equates to 36.5mpg US which is very impressive indeed. In late Sep I drove my E450 estate to Toronto Canada from Austin TX (1650 miles) and I was getting 510 miles to a tank. I was also moving when not in cities doing between 80mph and 90mph. I was seeing around 25mpg US overall.

Someone from Switzerland just posted their E450 estate and I was surprised to see that the E450 was available in the EU. I thought it was only the 220d models. Happy motoring with the new car.

To be fair I did actually find one that colour with the same spec and only slightly higher mileage, but when I looked on google street view at the garage selling it I rapidly changed my mind. Not handing over my cash to a company working out of a portacabin...:D

The modern diesels just sip fuel over here, definitely helped by me being an old git and just sitting on the cruise control at 70mph because I can't be bothered dealing with a speeding fine. If I could do the whole tank like that on your road trip to Toronto urban driving it would definitely get over 900. Went there on holiday a couple of years ago before the pandemic hit and it was an awesome place!

I think the tank is about 66 litres which is 14.5 imperial gallons, and at current fuel prices here it's costing about $133 to fill it up:eek:

The model numbers probably don't equate to the same ones you have over there - I don't think we have the E450 petrol in the UK, but we do have the E400d. The GLC 300 petrol is a 2.0 Turbo so it's all a bit random really...

When I was in Canada, premium (93 octane) was $1.36 Can a litre and it cost me $112 Can to fill up. Here in Texas it is typically half that to fill up in USD.

My wife typically likes boxy SUV's and is starting to look at a GLB 250. She barely drives 5K miles a year, even before COVID as we usually go out in my car. Here in the US most of the SUV's under the GLE are either 250 or 300 designations and both of those are 2.0 turbo four cylinder engines.

Just a quick update regarding the benefits of buying a new vehicle and stipulating EXACTLY the benefits of getting the specific features that we want, the options, and of course the powertrain. that we want.

Mercedes-Benz UK knows best, they KNOW exactly what the UK owner wants and if we want to own an estate car,then these 'educated' folk know best and we have but one choice unless we want the beast of an AMG powered vehicle. The estate car has to be powered by a diesel-powered engine! A brilliant, clean, and very economical powertrain. BUT....TOTALLY unusable for the type of driving our vehicle will experience??? The diesel particulate filter would very quickly clog up and this would then involve an expensive repair. Strangely enough, I believe that we the owner of the vehicle know best!! We KNOW the style of driving, the distances we drive and we know what engine is best suited to meet those requirements.

Putting our money where our mouth is.

When we took delivery of this 2ltr petrol hybrid in JUNE 2021, we filled the tank with petrol. Yup a 2ltr petrol hybrid that achieves 0 - 62.5mph in just FIVE seconds?? So not only does this beast take-off like a scolded cat..... The vehicle drives with the economy of a push-bike! We took delivery in June 2021, my wife did not 'over-fill the tank, the computer tells us it was 91% full. We are now half-way through MARCH 2022. SAME tank of fuel but it is now just 83% full?? Yup we have not re-fuelled our car and no idea how long this fuel will last. Will the fuel become unusable?? No idea but we could not have purchased this vehicle in the UK because Mercedes-Benz UK ASSume they know best. When these 'clever' :( people 'ASSUME' then my thoughts are that only the first three letters of the word describe their competence or should it be incompetence??.

I love looking at these gallery pictures as it helps folks to look at features they like, or dislike. 'I want that feature' or 'I don't want that feature' The three-pointed star on the bonnet is a prime example. I wanted that iconic item which is such a brand feature. I wanted it, I got it :)

In this age where petrol is getting to be mega expensive, our car recharges the hybrid system by using the free electricity generated by our solar panels :) :) I just hope the petrol in the tank gets agitated enough when the boss drives this vehicle on the highways and bye-ways of South Devon??

Here's my new 2022 AT. Went with the Graphite Grey and Night Package. I wasn't a fan of the new AT design when it was first released, but I've grown to love it already. The air suspension is a neat trick. The dual screens are also useful (I had the old analog driver's screen on my 2019 E450). The rest of the interior is very similar to my old 2019 E450 and more of an evolution. I'm glad MB still has physical buttons and switches for the volume, climate, etc. Haven't really pushed the engine yet but the drive is smooth. Overall, I'm very pleased with my new AT.

Made the jump up to 20" alloys today with a wider rim. Also used my old 12mm front spacers on the rears, opinions are welcome, was going to space out by 5mm but my bolts weren't right so stuck the 12's on till I got some more but quite liking the aggressive stance (20X9.5 ET42 + 12mm)

I just bought this 2019 E450 last week. It has some interesting options like the rear safety package and high end burmester. It's really an interesting build. So far this forum has been helpful with understanding coding for the multi-beam headlamps which I very much am looking forward too!

That's a stunning car, Cavensite - congrats. I had a 2019 E300 that had the rear seat safety package and air body control, but otherwise, was pretty plain. I loved it. Yours is really uniquely equipped - high end 3D, plus air body control plus Designo interior, plus rear seat safety package - WOW.

Cavensite 02-08-2023 09:48 PM

Thank you :) I’m excited to have it. My last Mercedes-Benz was also a neatly built one so it’s fun I was able to find another one

the rear seat safety pkg seems to not have caught on as in ‘20 you could no longer get it.
did you order yours?

No, I bought the car used at Bob King Autohaus in Wilmington, NC. Just good fortune to find it with air body control / acoustic comfort package / rear seat safety package.

Picked up a new W213 wagon today. It seems a bit tight inside though space wise. :)

All jokes aside, I have a white W213 wagon so when I saw this online I ordered one. It is a 1/18 scale so looks great in my office. It is pretty heavy so very well constructed. All body components are metal. It was also super well wrapped and protected for shipping. It took about 3 weeks to receive from when I ordered it.

Always loved the MB wagon in silver, just a classic color that also hides dirt and scratches. When I was shopping for a new 2020 E450 wagon in Dec 2020 I couldn't find a silver car with what I wanted anywhere in the country so went with my second color choice of white. These are great vehicles.

A wagon was something I've wanted since I was a kid, but not something I ever actually sought out, more so going with what was around. It's my first MB, which I've so far been a huge fan of. The color is just so classic to me, something about MB silver that has always stood a test of time on almost any model.

I was lucky enough to pick up a 2019 E450 Wagon 2 years ago in Iridium Silver.

https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ml#post8285418

I've put over 25,000 miles since I bought it. So far only problems have been I had to replace windshield from flying rock on interstate, and replacing 2 tires.

My previous 2 cars were wagons, and before that was a Saab 9000 Turbo, which probably had more room in the back than the 3 wagons.

My 2020 E450 only has 12469 miles on it after 2.5 years. 4000 were from a trip to Canada in 2021, 1300 driving it home from Ohio where I bought it and the rest is my regular use. I have two vehicles so my wagon doesn't get used a ton. Prior to this, I've had two Volvo wagons, a Golf Sportwagen and a Jetta TDI wagon. I love wagons :)

Cool.

If you lived in Germany, this would be an occasion to pull over and have a sip of champagne!

W213 FL E300

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:)

Moved over from W212. Stock E400 CPO purchased earlier this year.
We loved the E350 but unfortunately it was totaled in a rear-end accident.

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).

Huge wagon fan. I can't afford an E63 or an rs6 so this e400 will do. Documenting my changes on my YouTube here if you're interested.

macchiato beige for the win

digital_b 02-10-2024 01:56 PM

its what chavs do. like a lot of tacky 'mods' their cars all look the same.

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.
