Since yesterday it is possible to order a central console in wood

I guess the factory is gearing up for the mid year model year change. About time I say.

I.would have loved the black wood in my car .

Great, it looks far superior compared to the shiny plastic!

Maybe you can retrofit in wood @fortuner. Should be possible.

It is possible, this guy has done it here, the wood trim piece isn't cheap though.

Interesting, but I'd just let the dealer handle that. Far too much effort imo

It's just a bunch of screws and clips.

They should have matched it to the dashboard trim from day one.

Think that the piano black looks much better,but because of swirls and easily scratch surface the wood trim is a good option. Aesthetically wood trim has never looked good to me. Are those the only options available?

^ Also AMG carbon and silver fiber.

Are the lower dashboard wood trim limited to matte/open pore wood choices? Can it be matched with gloss wood trims?

 

[Wolfgang]

^ Not yet. Here are the dash options.

Wow, lot of nice combinations out there, when I ordered mine only gloss black was available

• More than 250,000 units sold of the new E-Class Saloon and Estate since market launch
  
  The E-Class is as popular as ever. In April 2017, 28,827 customers decided in favour of the E-Class Saloon or Estate, which is 52.4% more than in the prior-year month. This was a new April record for the two models. The success story of the new E-Class started a year ago with the market launch of the Saloon in Europe. Since then, more than 250,000 new E-Class Saloons and Estate models have been sold.

I have a feeling that 2017 will see close to 350,000 E-class models sold as now there is also the E-class All Terrain as well as Coupe and Cabrio models joined the range.

Where does the sales of all terrain, coupe and cabrio fall under?

According to my dealer, they are selling quite a lot of E43 and E63. Much more than to be expected, taking price et cetera in consideration. Those are the new successnumbers...

Don't think so, it was rather early in the morning... Talking German dealer. Don't know how the Dutch situation is.

So I have been given a E class for the weekend to see if we really like it or not...unfortunately it is only the E 200 because they don't have anything else.

So after spending today with it, I will say, the doors actually feel much heavier than the C class. The interior do feel a bit more luxurious. Overall refinement is a step above the C class as it should be.

Thanks for the insight @Monster, this is more inline with what I was expecting..

I will also say even though the design, technology and features feels more than 2 generations ahead of our W211, the driving experience doesn't feel that much different. I know it isn't a fair comparison, but that 2.0L turbo engine is a step backward compare to our E 350. The 4 cylinder engine has no place in the E class.
