Selenite grey is a gorgeous colour and "easier" to maintain. Why did you choose black leather? The car inside will look very dark.

Hey guys! New here, just collected my e250 yesterday night! Hoping to join you guys at meet ups and also learn more about my monster! 

Im currently looking at getting my car tuned as well! Any advice? 

[Cbenz]

Collected my ride w213. 

Selenite grey with brown interior. Noticed that my dashboard and door trim is little different from most i seen on the road. Not wood or silver, more towards carbon trim but not exactly like those in Amg models. Lol.. I am a confused man

[E Edition]

E Edition. Now, driving E200 W213) 7 months old from C&C. 

[Mikepact]

Traded In my W212 E200 and Book a W213 E250 AVG. Expected Arrival Sept/Oct 18.

Only 4 colours available 1)Obsidian Black, Cavansite Blue, Selenite Grey & Iridium Silver.

I finally choose Iridium Silver but don't seem to see anyone else mentioning this colour.

Not sure if this colour is offered only recently or it is not a suitable or preferred colour for the E250 AVG.

Will appreciate some advise/comments.

I went to the dealer who happens to just bring in a fleet of CnC Mgmt cars. Saw a wife range of colors. Actually I was also looking at this blue (indeed unique classy) and another dark blue before I settled on grey just simply because only the grey comes with brown interior and rest are black interior. Got a bit sick of black seats and dark feel.. plus grey is much easier to maintain . It’s been about two weeks since I last washed my car and it still look fine. 😎 car Color is very personal and subjective. Go with what you like.

Which grey did you go for? Any pictures to show? Grey with brown interior does seem like a good choice!

Selenite grey. Google the colour.. probably better pics online. Snapped some ext/ext combo for you.

Hi guys,

Just got my ride 2 days back. E250 CGI. Looking to make some friends and have some questions answered if possible over coffee. I spent 2 hours looking for the 3 1/2 inch jack Aux input yesterday and another half an hour figuring out how to reset the trip odo. 

And about the Odo, I have a inkling suspicion that it was tampered. Bought a 89000km car, 8 year old, condition of the car is good other than... the driver's seat being worn out with some discolouration. Anyone knows how we can get this checked? 

Also, pardon me for the dozens of questions, I've managed to get my phone connected via bluetooth but while in the phone module I can't seem to find anywhere to play music through the bluetooth. 

Really noob questions.. hope to meet some of you lao jiao guys soon!

[Knightfal]

Found a cable that fits my old iPod (iPhone 4 type cable). Decided to try using that for songs instead.. save my phone battery..

If you use bluetooth, you have to use a music app like spotify or your phone music app to play the songs.

Have we stop updating the E Class post? Just join SGMerc 

[CH_OldMerc]

Welcome tituman,

 

Uncle me drives a 11yr old W211 E230  2.5L n.a.

Been a happy owner since March 2016. 4 year more good years to go.  

Guess most W211 owners have given up their ride by now.

I do read W212 more active now and more & more W213 coming on board. 

Anyway, welcome and enjoy your e-class.

All I can It's really a class above the rest. Haha.

Hi CH, I have just renewed my W211 E230 last month.Bought this new in 2008 Am very happy to renew my COE. Its a solid ride, this E230. That's all I can say. Other than the cold start in the morning which brings along the common gripe of loud engine noise and not much pick up, my car is smooth and quiet after about 15 mins of ride in it.  Thanks for the welcome and nice talking to you. David here with you.

[Ivo]

Currently on Iridium Silver W205, waiting on delivery of my E200 Selenite Grey in Nov/Dec.. Will post more when i get my hands on the new ride. Love my W205 to the core now..

[E Edition]

Intend to buy a W212 year 2010 ro renew COE as a spare car. Can anyone advise the pitfalls of this model. Gearbox, aircon, and ..........

[Calvyn Teo]

Hi all, have ordered a W213 E200 Advantgarde Hyacinth Red with Nut Brown interior from PI with a lot of factory add-ons. Expecting delivery in November. Can only say that with the add-ons, the price difference between C&C and PI is $80k+. I have two questions:

1) Has anybody changed the Benz logo on the bonnet to the Benz Star Emblem on the Advantgarde? Any picture of it would be highly appreciative. 

2) thinking of changing the stock rims to 19” after-market forged staggered rims. Was looking at the Mandrus Arrow. Has anybody any experience with Mandrus forged rims? Read mixed reviews from the USA MB forum. Or, if you have good experience with other rims, kindly recommend. Thanks.
