LOL! WTF is wrong with this E63?
 
I've never seen one with matching body color surrounding the roof antenna on a panorama roof? Did someone grab the wrong part out the parts bin in Germany? It's a 2016.

silly kev!

Do u think hanz makes things for no reason!:wwf:

This my dear fellow is new age aero tech!
By changing the color pattern right around the antenna it creates a swirling vacuum effect, which enables the shark fin to slice through the air with its dark shark fin! Creating better aerodynamics and down force

It also boosts data single quality for that late night viewing away from your laptop/desktop which the wife/ kids use/ monitor. Dady has to have his alone time sometimes and the AMG might just be the right girl for it ;)

That off-color piece sure looks out of place.

Could it be some transport tape that wasn't removed? The interior shots still show some transport protection plastic.

Yeah, could be. Great guess.

So the 2016 night package includes black trim around the windows?

Unfortunately they forgot to add black to the emblems and trunklid trim though.

Yours have that? Mine does not have black emblems or trunklid trim?

No, I'm saying it appears they tried to do a more true nightstyle package in 2016 by doing black trim around the windows, but missed the emblems and trunk trim.

My 2014 has chrome around the windows. The nightstyle package on mine only included the front bumper insert, mouldings below the doors, and exhaust tips all in black.

Yeah I see now. I see some 2014 on autotrader that appear to have silver along the lower window trim:

sorry but that looks much better than the 2017


sweet ride

Night styling adds so much more sportiness to the E63. It should have been standard, and let people order the chrome separately if they wanted. I'm finally getting around to having mine blacked out with 3M wrap.

I just installed black mirror housings, which made a huge difference, and was very easy to do.

In 2014 they didnt black out the lower chrome on the window trim, but added that final piece in 2015 and beyond.

What do you think about blacking out the spoiler and that chrome piece just below the star emblem on the truck? Or even blacking out the emblems as well? Too much black?

Would look great and bring it all together. Chrome sucks.

best part of wrapping is that you can go back in time and take it off

chrome is out, black is in

i think it would look good OR matte silver like the non night package silver matte inserts on the rocker panels
