2019 E450 Dealer Ordering Guide (34 pages)
I see your confusion. Some reports have the future I6 (M256) at 362 hp, some show 369. I’m thinking it will be more.
The M276 that is in the 2018 E400, however has been retuned to 362hp also. That is the engine to which he is referring.
Nobody else in this thread is talking about the I6.
Am I correct 4dimension?
Nothing else official on the web though. You are correct. Dealers don’t even have base pricing yet.
No worries. It is a serious pain in the *** that we all have to do so much research on our own, and cannot get answers from the source.
Ordering a car without knowing the base price is asinine. I called MBUSA yesterday and they are beyond useless, referring me to the dealers, who know next to nothing. Am I buying a Yugo?
I hope the rest of the owner experience will be better, but for now I have my expectations set very low.
Frustrierend und entmutigend.

For sedan and wagons, E450 has July production slots, E53 has August production slots. For coupe the E53 has Sept production slots. Who knows when they’ll actually be on sale due to the yearly certification delays.
I have an E53 coupe production slot, and an 2018 E400 Wagon that I ordered earlier this year arriving in 2 weeks. Not sure if I’m going to take delivery of the E400 or order up an E53 wagon. I loaded up my E400 quite a bit so the gap would be only $5000 or so (based on E400 vs E43 sedan pricing) so hoping the dealer will give me a huge discount to take the E400 instead.
These changes in year 3 really caught me off guard. E400 basically obsolete before even taking delivery.

Good recommendation. I lucked out for a great salesperson. So far it’s a amooth process.
Do have some concern with possible trade issues.
