Hi Forum. I'm new to MB with an E350 Bluetec AMG Night Premium Plus

[Bopo]

Just saying hello and hoping for advice on my beautiful E350 Bluetec AMG Night Premium Plus.

September 2015 model with only 26k miles on the clock in amazing metallic pearl white.

I'm new to MB ownership but having done the rounds in the last week test driving 2016 BMW 330d Luxury, 2017 Jaguar XE 25d AWD, 2015 BMW 530d Luxury, 2016 MB C250d Prem+ and finally the E350d I have become totally hooked on MB interiors.

Outside, I'm not personally a fan of the standard E-Class styling but the AMG Night pack and wheels really makes it look special and my metallic pearl paint just screams quality.

Looking forwards to a long relationship with my new baby.

Hi Bopo and welcome to the forum. We need to see photos to believe you!

 

[Bopo]

Here's a pic taken at twilight last night after cleaning. I spent 5 hours today polishing (including the glass roof) and adding a paint protector layer. Then I did the inside windows and cleaned all the touch points. I'll detail the interior properly this week.

Didn't take any more pics after all that work because I'm an idiot. :-D

I can post more tomorrow if anybody wants to see her.

[EDIT] Forgot to say... thank you for the welcome to the forum!

Welcome. Lovely motor. I've got an E220 but the 350 is a different beast.

Welcome I have a 2011 version of the 350 also in white, but not as clean as yours.
Had mine 7 years with no intention of changing, its been very reliable.

Welcome nice indeed

Thanks for the photo - @Wighty will definitely want to see more.

I’ve just seen that you are local so if you don’t know them already look up MBS https://www.mbsofsouthampton.co.uk/ who are one of the very respected Indies on this forum and based in Southampton. @Cole@MBS will do a great job looking after your new pride and joy.

Welcome, Bopo, lovely motor and particularly nice in white with the Pan roof.
( A tad biased of course )

Thanks for the recommendation. My first question was going to be to find a local indie!

Welcome to the forum Bopo .

Double badged

Double badged

Shame that !! No taste

Welcome, looks lovely.

Indeed well spotted....hoping there’s not a spurious ‘other’ badge on the back

Have I committed some breach of MB rules by having a gun-sight on the bonnet? And how many should there be on the back?

 

[SmartAmg]

Oh, very particular on here about double Merc badges on front. And woe betide if you've got wing badges, and side trim on (Jon) . You haven't so your OK.

Gun sight is good with the normal ‘non sport’ grille - i.e. the one without the big 3 pointed star on it, OR keep that grille and have a flat bonnet badge (no gunsight), a gentleman never has both...
Oh, and the badge on the back I refer to is an ‘AMG’ one which some folks insist on putting on non AMG cars.....
This is all a bit of jest by the way, your car, your choice....

 

[A.J.]

John is the head of the 'AMG' task force, so just be aware of that

But but...if you have the Bluetec AMG Night Premium Plus (pauses for breath)...does that count?
