Hi P,
I got very carried away with the options!
Wanted the E Class estate as i've got 2 young children with scooters, bikes etc.
Went the amg night edition premium plus in hyacinth red.
Initially ordered the 350 diesel but as i only do around 5,000 miles per year decided that the 250 petrol was probably the more sensible choice. Would've snapped up a v6 if they were offering though!
Only wish i had a slightly more powerful engine.
As for options i went for
Airmatic - so air all round.
Drivers assistance pack (last minute decision as you know!)
360 camera
Privacy glass
Taken a bit of a risk as no 250 petrols locally for me to try.
Also, other than getting taken out in a S63 amg i've not experienced an e class with air all round. Mixed views on this - especially with owning one outside warranty - so another risk. But hopefully it'll be fine.
Bit of a change to a few months ago when i set out to buy a 2-3 year old A6 or e class estate. But i believe i got a good deal and now also the new car warranty to put my mind at rest.
Enjoy it when it arrives!
Hi
Wow very good!
Ah yes the E class should be a great choice then lots of space.
Wow that’s a very nice car you have ordered there, and I think the hyacinth red will be very unique. Congratulations.
5,000 miles hey, it will take a while to complete the run in procedure then.

Perhaps a road trip is in order in honour of the new car
Ah ok I wonder if that’s why you could’t get the 405 Multi Contour seats, perhaps the combination of the 250 petrol engine and the red, however yours sounds like a factory build too so maybe not.
I was considering the Airmatic, in the end I concluded just on the back would be fine. Hopefully that will reduce motion sickness for the kids! I had the same worry about reliability, I am sure it will work out well, I think its quite a proven technology. For me the E Class will be such a step up in rid comfort I and sure I will be blown away.
Last night I was reading the online manual about the 360 degree camera and concluded I would just try it when I arrive! I was trying to figure out if I could just get it to act like normal reversing camera.
Re not driving a 250, I didn’t even take one test drive, I was won over by the technology, lights and driver assistance pack.
Ah yes but with the round out discounts I think you have made a wise choice buying new and if you choose to you can extend the Mercedes Warranty I believe.
Will you take out the service plan, I am thinking I definitely well.
oh I will, I wish you and your family many happy and safe miles.
Cheers p
