Anyone ordered an 2008?

Just wondering if anyone saw the color "diamond white" or know if it was available on previous MB cars?

Diamond White Paint

The color looks very good. It has the same sparkly particles in the obsidian black but on white. This color was offered a few years back on the CL, but I couldn't find any decent pictures over here...

E63

I didn't see that color, my car will be Arctic White. I have the first 08 E63 off the production line, will be here early august. Yes I did get the P30 special edition =]

The car is loaded out, black leather, all but parktronic - because its for old men and makes the car look bad.

They both have P30 packages, but they are different stuff, I think they might be trying to distinguish the 2...? I'm E all the way =]

Interesting.... I was told my car is the LAST 2007 production model...

Nice coincidence... you'll have the first 2008 and I'll have the last 2007...

The designo for CLS63 is called "Mystic White"

That's not logical why does parktronic make the car look bad?

See on the picture of the CLS in the above post, there are those little round dots on the front bumper, they are also on the rear bumper - those are the sensors and they look like ****. Infact it was the sole reason I didn't get it.




Ugly little dots, makes it look busy - much more aprent in person and on a white car (mine)... YUCK

Just a styling detail and/or personal preference. What are those big holes on the bumper, does your 08 have those??

Lower hole next to the parking sensors on the left is where they attach a screw-eye to secure during flatbed towing. The other 2 located just below and between the headlights are the headlight washers.
