Yeah my last toy car was an 06’ Subaru STi a few years ago, and this is very characteristic of it in the wait it handles and the power.

I can’t wait to throw a tune one it, lower about 1.5”, black powder coat the wheels, and carbon fiber lip kit with carbon lip spoiler and roof spoiler

I do have question tho as I’m new to Mercedes.. I was under the impression that they didn’t make an E400 AMG.
But the bill of sale and title both say E400 Sport AMG, and it has the AMG wheels... am I just looking at AMG parts on a Sport, or something else?

Welcome! Looks great. A "full on" AMG will have engine upgrades and model designation, ie E36, E43, E53, E55, E63. "AMG line" is an option package consisting of appearance parts and wheels.

Decode your VIN here and you will see the options you have: datamb.com

Options codes 660 and 772 are the AMG bits.

Ok, thanks. So it’s just a Sport with AMG options then.

next question... it lists a remote start option, but the Mercedes Me app doesn’t show it. I called yesterday and set up the plan for safety, security, and entertainment for 3 years.

The other features work, but I’m just not seeing the remote start option..

Ok, I'm extremely confused... its a Sport with the premium package, and the VIN says that it came with remote start, but Mercedes-Me techs are telling me that remote start isn't an option on the vehicle and can't be added to the app... Does anyone have some clearer info?

This is listed on the VIN breakdown:
J8A DSM STAR1 FBS4 REMOTE STARTABLE

She also said that the entertainment plan doesn't come with options like iheartradio and weather apps, but both of those do work...

And a couple of other things I can see from your photos - spoiler, skirt, flat bottom steering wheel, perforated front discs with MB lettering on callipers, stainless steel pedals. Great looking E!

301 ASHTRAY PACKAGE” - wonder what this is? Substitute to trays?

Thanks! I had been looking for a white/black E350 for a while when I just happened to come across this one a mile from my house. I rarely ever see the 400s, so I got extremely lucky to find the exact one with all the options I would've picked myself

In the event that you still want remote starter coverage for this vehicle but don't get anywhere with the app, you can look at these super reliable options that we design and manufacture.

This article gives the impression that not all vehicle models are remote-start capable for 2016.
