Sweet Euro version! I love the color, here in NY all we have is people buying silver or black and it's really getting boring! Shame when there are so many nice colors like this available....

What is it about the 500E that makes it sooooo cool? It just looks "right" in a way that very few cars can equal. As the owner of one myself, I know I'm biased, but every time I see one I can't help but say to myself...WOW, how cool!

Ricardo:
Your car looks great! Thanks for posting your pictures

Arrow Your comments

I strongly appreciate your comments and of curse as Jim said “very proud poppa”.

Alon
You might not recall, but four or five months back you advised me in regard of the type of tires to get for my car “Dunlop’s 9000” Thanks again!!

Kevin
WHEELS are 15-SPOKE FORGED 3-PIECE made to order. The wheels have forged center and spun rim. They are 18x8 (offset of 34mm) front and 18x10 (offset of 19mm) Rear.

Arrow I don’t drive the car every day

Jshiuan

I don’t drive the car every day. When I drive it to my office is only 6 miles each trip. And on weekends…time to ride!! Of curse I’m not the regular Sunday driver!!

I tried to keep the car clean. The color Pearl Blue helps very much!! Nothing special to take care of, only wash and dry regularly and apply wax when I lightly run my finger over the top surfaces (hood, roof or trunk) and the paint doesn't feel as smooth as glass. I usually do surface prep and polishing prior to applying wax protection, I use Meguiar's!!

For the interiors nothing like letherique!! I use it for the leather and other non-leather parts of the interior of my car.

Regards

That's one sweet 500E!!! But personally, I would feel weird driving a 500E w/out a tach to watch... hehe.. :p

Neverthless, the trip comp is very cool, indeed...

Hey Ricardo. are the wheel center caps custom or are they standard MBZ OEM size? They look a little smaller. I have a set of wheels that will not accept the larger OEM caps and I want to put MBZ star in the center. Did you have to rolled the fenders to fit the tire size you have? Thanks.
