Camouflaged benz- Charlotte, NC

Don't know what model but I know it's a benz.

There was a REALLY nice benz driving behind it but I didn't have time to take pics of everything. The benz behind it wasn't camouflaged or anything but all I could make out was it had a long word where like "Kompressor" or "AMG" would be except it started with a "B". It was def. a luxury class not anything sporty.

Anyone have any ideas? Also why would they be in Charlotte??...

It's best shot I got...out of the two...2nd shot is just a drive side shot kinda far away and really crappy....taken with my camera phone while going like 75mph

Look at the size and dimensions. It's the new E.

There is no need to drive camo'ed C63's around. They've been uncovered in So Cal for months now.

As to why in Charlotte? Well, for one, MB put about 14 million test miles on the W204. MBUSA is in Montvale, NJ. It is not a stretch to think that one might be able to see a test mule somewhere in the next 14 million miles, even if it is about 6 states away.

well it just looked like it but if it were actually the new E that would make more sense.

I have to second that. It does look like an E-Class. Maybe its time to hit the E-Class forums to see if they have similar pictures also.

The only thing I can tell from this picture is that your tint is badly scratched.

Yes, it looks like an E, the stance is a clear give away.

Oh yeah, that picture screams "E". The new E is scheduled to be introduced next year, so this is perfect timing to see the mules out there.

If this pic had been posted first, we'd have all known it in a second. Nice find.

A luxury class, not anything sporty? What would you consider a CL or S65 AMG? If it started with 'B' and was long it must have been Biturbo.

It looks like the next generation E-Class, so it probably was a Bluetec.

You really can't tell it when your just looking at it.

Also it wasn't a bitturbo....it was WAY to luxury style'd to be a bit
