I really should stop reading the forum at 3 AM......I get really sleepy and misunderstand the posts. For a second I thought you said that you sold your E60 and got an E350 ..............What??? .....you DID do that for real??? 
All kidding aside....I am sorry it came down to this but you have to do what is right for you.....but for God's sake why an MBZ....you could have at least gone with an Audi......................just kidding
......OK I'll shut up.
I would like to thank you again for meeting with me and letting me listen to your B&B and take the video clips. That helped me make up my mind and order the B&B (which by the way was ordered 7 weeks ago and it *should* be here this week).
By the way, your Silver Gray E60 looked so sweet with the M-Kit that it would be the only other color I would consider (other than my Titanium Gray). The M Kit makes all color E60's look good, but the M kit + Silver Gray + Shadowline Trim just looks amazingly special. If I were ordering my E60 now, no other color (with or without the M Kit) would sway me away from my Titanium Gray....the Silver Gray WITHOUT the M kit certainly would not do it either,.........but the Silver Gray WITH the M Kit and Shadowline looks really....AMAZING, and would have me tempted to go with the Silver Gray.
Again, sorry to see you go....but I know you'll be back soon.

from BMW quality to MB E classe? Uhmmm you will be back soon. I guarantee you. Maybe we can bet. I understand you particular 545 was bad and problematic but in overall E class has very poor quality. Well but I wish you all the best and maybe you will be an exception as well as you E60 was(in a bad way)

Having owned a few W211 E's, I do see that the quality has improved from the early ones. And your car lloks great. But it's just hard for me to stomach what that car costs now--looking at your pix and descriptions you've got the AMG sport package, pano roof, entertainment (changer /L7) and maybe more. I just have a hard time with that car being $60 plus k for a SIX cylinder. But the main reason I've stepped back is just the MBZ DC attitude that is prevalent now. I've been an MB customer for over twenty years now, and a third generation one. Just glad my ancestors didn't live to see the 'NEW" attitude at Mercedes, where nothing matters but the dollars. At lest they could act like they care. I know, BMW has their own set of problems too.
Nice looking 211.
