P.S. Dont like the wheels though ... a view of the front would be nice ... but this shape is just sooo much better than the BMW 5.

stevebez, google the car if you're interested in a view of the front.
There's a thread in the W211 forum that has better photos, front and back of the car...
They've ditched the electric brake system and..............................................
The bubble(oval) headlights...the new ones are more sharp edged and diamondish...like japanese headlamps
Doesn't make sense to me...i liked the bubble ones, it's supposed to be a classic look - my dealership has a great poster of the old E's front and it says "Look at that face? How can you not love that face?" I gotta buy that poster..its a "OEM MB poster"

The front headlights remind me of the LExus GS headlights....

You sell yours?


I like the look, especially the flat grill. The grill and fogs are the only things I don't like about the E63.

just my .02

Starting to lose hope on anything but the ole N/A motor.

Record sales of current models (even if not the E, it can justify keeping FI off), great reviews of E63 as "all around" great car...forced induction on the new E (W212) is slipping away isn't guys?
