right there with you. i don't drive the E in the rain either - only time shes wet is when she is at the detail shop (AJ's in San Jose every other week) - now when I had my S4 that was a different story - that was good fun

When it rains I pull my E out of the garage and let her bath in the pure heavenly water. Of course I pull out the wash mitts and soap buckets to wash the car and then I will let the rain rinse it. Then I bring it back into the garage to dry it off.
This way I avoid the hardwater from the hose (Orange County is notorious for that).
Three neighbors saw what I was doing and after an explanation they now wash their cars when it rains too.

You guys need this http://www.detailperfection.com/standardD.php Our water is ridiculously hard here in Dallas too. This thing is like magic. Literally dries with zero spots. My detailer uses it.

I was once told by the AMG factory that rain will not hurt the paint on these cars so they can be driven in inclement weather.

I drive my E63 in the rain all the time, it's hard not to in Virginia. But, I do take advantage of Mercedes Free car wash at the dealer.
