It is the very reason I bought it in Stuttgart because it was different from the ones I saw in the USA- which had the regular grill with no Mercedes logo in it and the star emblem on the hood.
In my opinion this just looks so much more sportier with a sexy front-end. I haven't seen many of these :-)

Really! They are literally all over the place in the US. I see the sport grill far more than the luxury grill on the C-class and E-class. In fact, you can only get the sport grill on the W214 in North America. Likely because when there was the option for both, the sport outsold the luxury by a large margin. I believe the S-class only comes with the luxury option.
Obviously everyone has their own opinions and tastes. Mine is that on the E-class, the luxury grill and hood star are much better looking. It's not a sports car IMO and I bought it for luxury. If I wanted a sports sedan, I would buy an AMG. Don't get me wrong. The sports grille looks great but the luxury grille is more the classic MB look.

I guess the S class still has amg line and the avantgarde I think MB calls but yes you do get the standing star on both versions.
It is truly hard to believe that you've had your vehicle since 2017... The overwhelming number of W213s sold in the US are the sport model like the one you showed in the photo. If you are out driving, finding a W213 with the upright hood ornament (the Luxury Model) is a rare sight.
The take rate for the luxury model is so rare that MBUSA discontinued even allowing the W214 Luxury Model to be sold here -- its the non-hood ornament only model. Whether I like that or not isn't the issue.

Wrong I bought it in Stuttgart Germany in 2017 brand new!
Thought I read that you said you recently bought it in one of your threads, I forgot which one, I might had mixed it up with another forum member though.

I literally have the same exact spec/grill/hood/everything as you do on my other E300 that was bought in the USA. All E300 sports look like that in Europe and in the US of A. I still don't know what you're trying to prove to people about "i bought it in Stuttgart..." I can bet my left kidney that you did not buy it in Europe and that you've bought it in the US. As I've mentioned before shipping and insurance is free from Mercedes when you pay to do the experience with MB to drive your car in Europe first. You mentioned in a previous post that all you had to do is "pay shipping" which is false.
Again, your cars not anymore special than any one elses on this forum. It's literally a US spec Mercedes E300.... Relax big guy.

@Billyismyname You are wrong about MB's free shipping. Shipping is free only if car is purchased in USA for EU delivery. Purchasing in The EU from MB or any EU dealer does not include free shipping. BTDT

Yeah just ignore him he's a moron he's worse than any stalker ex-girlfriend that you could ever have he just keeps chiming in to this conversation with his ridiculous allegations and making false statements which many people here have proven him wrong but he won't stop really psychotic!

I have been a mechanic for over 20 years for MB and before that I was in sales and worked overseas (Germany) sales as well exporting to the US. You are wrong about almost everything you talk about and further more I have been talking to Massimo, he has given me hes information, Vin etc, it was in fact bought in Stuttgart. Not only that I read all your nonsense talk about the piston rings, you are wrong on that as well, it only affected a small amount of people in the US, mostly C class and GLA from 2015-2016, a few E class's! Massimo's car does not have the defective parts that has been verified as well. Man you need a life, I have to admit you do sound like a nutjob that just makes things up out of your butt. No wonder it happen to your E class, Mr. I race my e class, put 89 Octane gas in my car, etc. You Sir are not to bright! Get your facts right and get a life, you spread hate and bad information.

Wrong. MB waives your shipping charges and even gives you a discount. You can literally find it on their website.
I personally did the MB delivery program before they shut it down, and my uncle did it as well. We did not pay for transport. We are from Europe so it gave us an added benefit to visit Germany and our families. Not sure why it's so hard to grasp the concept that Massimo DID NOT buy his car in Europe and have it delivered to the US. He should've looked up what's included and what isn't included with the delivery program before lying to people.

Funny how your account was just created in October and how you have 0 posts or comments else where on MB World.... Funny how you also type/sound exactly like Massimo....
Massimo, you're not fooling anyone here

Hey dude you're a deranged lunatic psychopath with narcissistic behavior you're absolutely wrong you look like the biggest oxymoron I've ever met you know nothing you're going to try to tell me after I worked at Mercedes for over 20 years as a mechanic and in sales you're going to tell me after I looked up Massimo's VIN number that his car didn't come from Stuttgart when I saw it came from Stuttgart you really are a babbling idiot please get off this post, you're pretty pathetic and been proven wrong with other posters over and over that's what makes you a good narcissist, please please get a life with your very bad information

Weird how Massimo also uses the word "oxymoron" to insult people! Hmm, could it be that Massimo has an Evil twin????
Massimo, I would just stop honestly. You did not purchase your car in Germany. You lied about your mom having a Gasoline E300 in Germany that has over 300,000 miles without a single issue, you lied about paying for transportation fees to the US for the delivery program when in fact it's free (i posted a screen shot directly from Mercedes website to prove it to you), you think that putting 91 octane fuel will blow up a car that takes 93, and you made a fake account to make it sound like people agree with you.
Also this whole "i bought my car brand new in 2017" thing. Isn't it weird that you joined MB world just last month and started making YouTube videos about your car just last month as well? Isn't it weird that you didn't notice certain things about your car just until the last few months? Call me crazy, but I learned everything about my car within the first 5 months of owning it. I knew every single bolt, charger, item inside and out. And you all of a sudden don't know if your car is a "sport line" E Class or your wireless charger charging slow etc. You're not fooling anyone.
I literally have 3 people private messaging me making fun of you and saying they think you're lying, including me.

Things that make you go hmmm? Mercedes Mech it is strange that you have only 4 posts on this site and you've managed to connect with Massimo so quickly. You've gotten his VIN info and purchase location? All since joining in October?
I'm not a mechanic nor do I play one on TV so I'm not weighing in on mechanical issues etc that have been debated. It just seems unusual to me that Massimo only recently joined the forum and yet so many of his questions and comments are like those of someone who's recently acquired a W213. Massimo steadfastly asserts that he bought his new in Stuttgart but his posts cause me to be dubious. I've been a member on this forum since getting my w213 new in 2018 and I've seen a lot of the commentary by new owners and I have a general idea of what those types of comments look like. And here you are Mercedes Mech, an S63 AMG owner and you and Massimo have partnered up so quickly sharing personal details so that you can attest to Massimo's statements about when and how his Mercedes was acquired.
I trust UA549 implicitly because he has shown himself to be a fount of knowledge about the W213 specifically and Mercedes'/BMWs generally but I'm not sharing a copy of my bill of sale with him or any other personal details even after 7 years.

Just look at how Mercedes Mech writes. it's exactly how Massimo sounds. Also, Massimo said "Yeah just ignore him he's a moron he's worse than any stalker ex-girlfriend that you could ever have he just keeps chiming in to this conversation with his ridiculous allegations and making false statements which many people here have proven him wrong but he won't stop really psychotic!" but what's weird is that my ex girlfriends used to make fake profiles too to try and stalk me. Just like Massimo is doing. Not sure who's the psychotic one here.
I just don't understand why he'd lie about pointless things. Just enjoy your used E300 you bought down in Florida and relax. Unless he provides his VIN number, every statement he's said so far is false and can't be believed.
Lol yes, I've ignored him but yet he keeps chiming into my thread with his nonsense and misinformation!
Stupid is as stupid does!
Yes, you've ignored me to the point you had to create a fake profile and lie to everyone on this thread that you sent that guy your VIN and purchase information about your car to make it sound like it's true hahahahaha you are a psychopath.
