First surprise that I notice. The steering wheel has black trim, rather than silver as shown in DOG guides. I wonder if ALL the wheels will be liked this? Congrats Sackboydad!

2019 Order Experience
Has anyone’s 2019 E Class sedan/saloons been assigned a build date yet? My dealership doesn’t seem to know much about it and we haven’t had a build date assigned to our E450 yet. I’ve seen that cabriolet and coupes have been built for some people already but haven’t heard much about the sedan.
speedo and tach as well as without the front window speed and nav as they couldn’t give me a delivery date and it wasn’t that important to me. In any case it arrived at the dealer the first week in September and I took delivery on 09/06 and everything worked, no gremlins to fix, everything worked fine. I ordered mine with the Acoustic package for $1100 and if you’re going to order an E sedan, save yourself $1100 as this package isn’t worth the money. I traded in a 2018
E300-4matic without it and I can’t tell the difference. The only reason I traded a 2018 for a 2019 was because I couldn’t find a 2018 with the options I wanted, ie;
1). Premium Pkg. 1
2). Luxury Styling
3. Warmth & Comfort Pkg.
4. Distronic Package
5. Multicontour Front Seats
6. Power Rear window sun shade
7. Burn ester Sound System
8. Soft close doors (Another waste of money as the doors close themselves) with no effort
Lastly, don’t waste your money on the parking system, it only works about 40% of the time and it takes a long time to park the car, save your money. I’ve been driving MB’s for 25 years and while this car is good it isn’t Great! If I didn’t mind waiting 6 or 8 months I would have bought an Audi A6, it’s a better car for less money with a standard v-6 engine.

We ordered our E450 Sedan on April 5. It has been in Baltimore since July. I learned today that it will be at the dealer, if all goes well, tomorrow. The dealer is 1 1/2 hour away so delivery is scheduled for 9/27 in the afternoon. Really looking forward to it.

MB w213 facelift
Hello guys,
I’m looking to order Mercedes-Benz E350 2019 this November and will probably arrive in February, However, am really confused because I don’t want my first Mercedes to get facelifted in less than a year from my purchase. The salesman told me that he is sure it won’t because they have already made some changes to the engine and the steering wheel. When i looked to the E class cycle the facelifts are every 3 years or so which is due to 2020. Should I wait or buy it?
Sorry if this was the wrong thread!

Originally for 2019 there was going to be an E350, 4 cylinder with 48 volt lithium battery and the E450 was to be a straight 6 plus 48 volt lithium battery instead of the present V6. Those models were delayed a year and will be 2020 models.
Sorry, cannot help as to whether there will be changes to front, side and rear of car.

Just read write up of the Mercedes A sedan in Motor Trend. The new A sedan has the MBUX instead of command system so I assume the 2020 E will also have the MBUX system.

I can't see Mercedes not giving the E/CLS MBUX at facelift time, but that likely won't be for the 2020 model year. The facelift going by Mercedes' usual 5th model year in practice, will be the 2021 model. They could do it early because of the competition, so anything could happen, but history says 2021 model year. Also the year of a new S-Class.

Just out of curiosity, how long does it usually take once the car arrives at the VPC to when it’s delivered? I think it’s been a week since it arrived in Halifax so I’m guessing I should receive it pretty soon (maybe a week or two?) since there’s no big government regulation hurdles anymore.
