Really like the E-Class.
I have a friend with an E500 Avantgarde which I drove for my wedding recently, beautiful car that makes you feel special to drive. Love it - love the colour to. |

Thanks! The color is really unique, I wasn't sure I was going to like it until I saw it in person. You definitely see different colors/shades and different light/angles - silver, dark blue, light blue, it is really a head turner!

Great looking car. Why did MB place an annolog clock in the driver's gauge cluster? Not what I want to see when glancing at the gauges.

Thanks again for the comments, my Father is loving the car for sure.
I don't know much about MB, but I think the whole analog clock thing is a Mercedes statement piece, I think it has an elegant old-school classic quality to it. The minutes tick incrementally, not gradually, which I kind of like. My gf's Dad has a W211 E500 and he has the analog clock there as well.

Interesting how different peoples' tastes are. That'd be my last choice in color and I'm not a fan of the 4Matic Benzes.
Congrats regardless

I wasn't a fan of the color until I saw it in person, and although I wouldn't choose the color for my own car, bottom line, my Dad is happy which means I'm happy. He was also sick of swapping out summer wheels for winter wheels twice a year since he turns 76 in April hence the 4-matic. Do you have a merc? Is that a CLS in your sig? My gf's Dad is looking to get a CLS550, and I am trying to convince him to get the CLS63 AMG

I saw a GTR in the same color and I admit, this color is really striking. Doesn't look bad on this E350 either.
Congrats man, hope your dad enjoys it to fullest.
