Smile A Dream come true : E300 2018

Hi guys,

I'm pretty excited tonight. After 10 years of hard work, I finally ordered my first E class . It's a dream come true, as the E class has been a mythical car for me since I'm 7 years old. A very mature and classy vehicule with a unique spirit.

E300 2018 4Matic
MLX - Luxury version
MET- Lunar blue metallic paint
LEA- Nut brown leather
736- Dark ash wood trim (open pore)
597 - Windshield heater
U80- 115v power plug

The assembly date is december 2018, for a delivery on March 2018 (My C300 lease ends only on March...)

Congrats !

IMO Luxury trim suits the W213 better than the Sport trim.

Kinda regret about not getting the Lux trim

Good for you Rubi!

I had that same colour and trim combination in my w213 and it looks seriously nice - like being in a gentleman’s club.

Enjoy!

Congratulations

Let me add my congratulations to all those you have received. I remember when my father bought his Mercedes 190 when I was a child. He kept it for sixteen years. Then I remember driving my grandfather's Mercedes 300 SEL when I was away at school. Then, more than forty years ago, I resolved, when I could, to get a Mercedes of my own. It took most of that time before we were in a position to start setting aside money for the car, and the rest of it before we had done it, but last month we picked up our 2017 E400 luxury wagon in Sindelfingen, drove it around Germany for a week, and are now awaiting our reunion with it. It was an inspiration to read your message last week, and I wish you the same delight of your new car that we had with ours.

Glad you went for the Luxury model. These days, you see so few of them and I feel that if the vehicle is an MB sedan and it doesn't have the little 3-Pointed Star on TOP of the hood, where it BELONGS, that the car is just another sports car wannabe. IMO, the Luxury model exudes class, sophistication and traditional, understated good taste. Enjoy it!

When I was learning to drive and getting used to being in the right place in my lane, I used to line up the right side of the road through the star on the hood. So for me there wasn't any question about which trim to choose on the E-model.

Congrats. I love hearing stories from owners who set a goal of one day owning an MB and then finally achieved it. In the middle of a night class in grad school I promised myself I would eventually get a Mercedes. The dream carried me through the rest of the program and several years later I reached the goal.

Congrats on the new Benz! I’m currently in Law school and on my first Benz (E300). It’s awesome hearing success stories like this from other owners! The E class I personally think is the best model because it always has the new technology first and it gets the newest styling first and all the other models copy later on (as seen with the 2018 S class).

2018 E300 Luxury - P3 and more
Congrats! Glad you went with the Luxury trim... After all, it's not a proper Merc without it. Also, wait until you see the nice little upgrades the Luxury trim provides on the car, from the extra chrome trim on the sides (which contrasts great with the blue exterior) to the stitched doors & dash. Also, the Luxury trim + 17" wheels will give you a smoother, quieter ride too.

Enjoy!
