I sent my applications in some time ago for both (about a month) and I still haven't seen them. Wondering how long of a lead time others have experienced in getting their badges? Of course as soon as I post this, I'll probably go home to find it waiting for me.

It takes awhile, I waited about a couple months. It takes some coordination between Montvale and the Classic Center in Irvine.

I had to wait 3mos.

Ok. I had read somewhere that people got theirs within a month and I'm just getting antsy. I don't mind waiting a little longer. The first of hopefully many mileage badges is a cool milestone that I want to show off.

It will take a while. I submitted my application in the end of august and didn't see the prizes until December 15th.

At this point just sit back and forget about them until they come. I ended up taking mine off because they started looking like crap.

It took me almost a year, applied for mine in March last year and it just arrived this past Monday.
After many e-mails and phone calls to Mercedes Canada I got it sorted out. The ironic thing is that the 250,000 km badge is for my long gone E320.
As soon as it warms up i'll install it on my 360,000 km '85 T200.



'96 E320 Traded for '85 T200 after blowing head gasket.



Here's a copy of the last e-mail I sent to Mercedes yesterday.....

I'm still pissed at the jerk that totaled my 240-D. I was less than an oil change away from reaching 300,000 miles.

When I applied for my 250,000km badge, the 240D was already close to 500,000km.
I got the 250,000km badge in about 1 month after applying.
THEN:
Three months later they automatically sent the 500,000km badge, assuming I had reached that figure....I was impressed, surprised and delighted!
