The car rides real nice. Definately will take some time to get used to the power difference.
I think the thing that is taking the most to get used to is how big it feels. I don't have good judgement with the size of the car and I Definately can not make power moves. You definitely feel the heft of the car, but it feels like a tank.

I actually really like the new/current E-Class. Then again my friends make fun of me for having an old person's taste in cars... heh.

haha. Maybe you should have gotten the sport package 
My wife has one and she was barely 30 when we got it. Little bit of window tint and some accessories... and you'll be good to go.
There's also an E-class/Mercedes thread on here as there are a few other owners... https://acurazine.com/forums/car-talk-5/official-mercedes-benz-discussion-thread-838696/
Ours has been bullet-proof so far. Enjoy it!

Seriously, nice pickup. Enjoy! That's a huge change from an M3 for sure, and probably better gas mileage and winter use as well.

Great looking car! I love the current E-class.
What made you want to ditch the M3? Size? Reliability?

I wouldn't say that's an old man's car... more like someone with class. I love the E350, wish I could afford it because it really is one of my favorite current Mercedes models. Enjoy it in good health!

Nice, I don't think it's an old man car. My only issue with the E-class is that damn analog clock they put into the cluster. Other than they they look great...

Thanks guys! Sarlacc, I'm not sure if it's my style, either! But, it's nice. Never thought I would have a four door car.
Junior, it does have the Sport package and the Pano roof which my wife loves.
I got the car because of wanting to feel comfortable on my long ass commutes now. The M3 wasn't the right car for now. It gets decent gas mileage, is supposed to be very reliable, and fits a carseat very easily
Plus, I can buy a toy next year! I have permission....

Well, at least you're an old man with lots of money.

I like the M3 but the W212 is equally as hot, if not as sporty.....even with a V6!
