Where did you install the Burmester cover and spoiler?

Burmester cover from taobao. Spoiler from Taiwan supplier bought on eBay. Don't buy spoiler from taobao because they are non-OEM and looks different from the original.

Which model are you buying from C&C?

[swissfondue]

I will post my mods on the W213 mods thread later.

Saw a W213 at C&C. From far, exterior looks like normal Exclusive line, nothing special. On closer look, it is an indent model with highly desirable options: Designo interior, Burmester stereo, multi beam LED headlamp. No Exxx, C&C logo, or 9G-Tronic badges at the rear.

C&C should seriously consider doing away with the 9G-Tronic badge -- uniquely Singapore, but in this case it spoils the beautiful design of the E Class..

The 9g tronic inscription is one way to differentiate a cnc w213 from pi.

You probably saw the E43 AMG. Was it in cavansite blue?

This purpose is already well served by the C&C badge. There's a Chinese saying 画蛇添足

Yes. Cavansite blue. Don't think it is E43 AMG. Normal Exclusive line exterior, with the standard 18" rims even.

True.  It won't be long before we see some pi w213 with cnc and 9g tronic inscription.

Two other ways being:

1) the C&C badge

2) the number plate holder

When the PI's brought in the E220d in the early days, they brought in the SE which has low spec. In trying to differentiate themselves, they throw in things like pano roof. So if you see a W213 with pano roof, it is likely to be PI.

Not this one?

Nope. Not this one. It was a Exclusive line model but with indent options.

By the way, E43's blue exterior is not Cavansite Blue, it is a brighter shade of blue -- I think it is called Lunar Blue.

I think you're right. I thought the blue for AMG was different so I asked my SE. But she insisted that it is cavansite blue. I think our eyes are more sensitive than hers

Lol. Nowadays customers have become more knowledgeable than SE. Many of us would have gone through numerous video/written reviews, and even pore over owner's manual downloaded in PDF before going for test drive.

Once an Audi SE purported that A3's DSG gear box is the wet type. Asked her to double check and confirm in writing. Never heard from her....
