New car (finally!) here

[hk7]

Hi guys

Just wanted to share pics of my new E220D Coupe (MY12) that I collected last Saturday.

As some of you may have read (http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/gene...w-car-order-command-online-dealer-issues.html) I had a few issues with my dealer around COMAND.

In the end I opted not to cancel my order and the dealer agreed to a very agreeable goodwill discount for all of my hassles. The handover (including part-exchanging my Astra) was seamless and the dealer spent considerable amount of time talking me through everything about my first Mercedes

The options I selected are;

19" Alloys
Panaramic Roof
Dynamic handling
Harmon Kardon speaker system
Auto

And here she is in all her glory (more pics to follow soon)...

Very nice. Congratulations on the new car.

This will be an Astra-nomical difference!

Enjoy!

Very nice car.

I really like the E Coupe. Went and looked at one in the showroom which had pana roof and was disappointed (as I liked it so much) that it was just a little too small all round for our needs. Cracking motor though.

What was the outcome? Did they match the Carfile.net price with a further discount for no command?

What system did your car finally recieve? The APS50 or Audio 20?

Looks nice I have to say, but like Kingy it would be completely impractical for us as a family.

Lucky don't have a wife and kids to ferry around yet so the coupe is just right!

Carfile.net tried extremely hard to source me a slot with COMAND, but in the end came up short and couldn't get me an Ed125 and thus would have had to pay £2k for COMAND and Jan delivery.

So I ended up negotiating a goodwill discount (to the value of COMAND normal RRP) on top of the discount I originally obtained. So pretty happy.

It has APS50, which does the job.

Calcite white. I wanted Diamond white but it has been unavailable on the E for quite a while now due to the Japan tsunami and subsequent supply issues.

I have never been in a panaramic is it a glass roof or does it just look like it from the outside?

 

[Dr-Nab]

Congrats, looks very nice!

 

[AJA]

B-E-A-utiful.

It is a retractable glass roof and also comes with a electric blind.

 

[crockers]

Looks great. Wheels look nice but are they a very harsh ride?

 

[Mercman786]

Mercedes-Benz Of Bedford or another dealer???

And congratulations mate.. beautiful car

To me personally the ride is perfectly fine, but then I only really have the old Astra to compare it to.

Thank you. Nope, was through Mercedes Southampton.

I was going to ask the same question as I'm waiting for my own C350 125ED coupe to arrive but in diamond White!
HK7 when did you place the order for your motor? Because I heard about the diamond White shortage as you mentioned also and was hoping I wouldn't get that call saying it's not available when did they let you know it wasn't available in that colour? At purchase or late into your order??

All that aside, thats a real head turner of a motor you've got there - congratulations!!

Also you couldn't post a link to your original thread so I could have a quick read at your problem with car file etc could you? I've tried looking for it with no avail


Congrats once again
