E-Class (W213/C238/A238) Mercedes-Benz E-Class W213 Photo Thread

My 2 Euro cents:

Were it not for the tacky black roof rails, the stacked, vertically accentuated taillamps (giving the rear of the car a "tall, narrow appearance") and the "rather less than premium, snap-on" appearance of the front end valance/bumper/grill element, the W213s' exterior design would be close to immaculate.

Mmmmm E43 vs the Brabus Edition.

^ E43 is a gem and a car I would consider. Brabus is just too “loud” for me.

That is just the exact e Class I would own,color,rims and everything are all right.perfect.

I am still deciding between the E 43 wheels or the multi spoke ones that comes standard...

Will the dealer do a no cost swap for you?

I'f you're going to keep the car for as long as you've kept the W211, I'd go the multispoke. They're timeless and complete the sporty yet elegant look perfectly.

I personally also don't like cross fitting of accessories that are supposed to be unique for a certain model.

Yes, they will do a no cost swap since both wheels cost the same on their ordering system

Agreed.

Me too, but now that the multispoke wheel design is used across the entire MB range, it might seem a bit too common.

E 400 spotted again..soon, very soon. IMO the rear 3/4 section of the car looks far more elegant and well resolved than the C class.

 

[Star&Car]

^Yes,and I believe it's the advantage of it's bigger size.It's very clear in this pic below,the E's size is spot on, which makes the overall appearance much more mature.

Indeed, when you see them side by side on the road, it is quite easy to tell them apart because the E class is clearly one size up.

IMO the W213 design is one of the classiest E-Class designs yet.

IMO the W211 has a slight edge over the W213 design wise, its styling is distinctive enough to stands out from the rest of the range at the time, also there is no awkward bonnet shut line like the W213.

Been trying to find some photos of the E class and C class side by side but there doesn't seem to be any online. This is the best I can put together, both white cars with black AMG interior.

Really think the ones with luxury grill looks very classy.. I still don't get why the UK don't have the option..looks beautiful.

I love the W211,i still stare whenever i see an E55..and the sound of that Kompressor V8

 

[klier]

^ I like that E63 with those wheels. Picture this one in black, blue or silver, fully debagded... the ultimate “stealth” high performance sedan.

Fully agreed. And just image it with the Elegance (?) grille with the star on the hood! That would be something IMO
