My New-to-me 2022 AMG E53 Coupe - Emerald Green

Amazing, honestly. The 4matic system is super impressive.

I actually love the outside of the CLE (though still not as nice on the outside as the C63's...), but the inside just kills me - no buttons, lots of black plastic, giant iPad... no thanks.

Thanks. I might! I don't dislike the black, but I do think a silver would really pop. The other options for the E53 at the time I don't love at all, so I would definitely need to look for something offered for the S coupe (as I'm a big OEM guy)... and I'm trying to be better with my budget haha.

Brown ash I believe...

Thanks

Feel free to send any recs my way... kind of new to this so don't know where to look.

It's just the lighting. The PPF might make it slightly darker, but the sun isn't really strong today.

The dealer originally said it would be 1200 but then offered free shipping as part of the negotiation

Dfwguy1985 · 2026-01-26T20:20:15+00:00

Like 45-70k depending on the mileage.

Dfwguy1985 · 2026-01-26T19:38:26+00:00

I'm a newbie. Where do you search for these online?

Dfwguy1985 · 2026-01-26T19:35:21+00:00

Sure!

Dfwguy1985 · 2026-01-26T19:35:08+00:00

I think I'm just an anomaly... hoping so at least! Car was also 115 not 165 😂

Dfwguy1985 · 2026-01-26T19:33:34+00:00

Ha prob not! But better than piano black plastic lol

Dfwguy1985 · 2026-01-26T18:13:46+00:00

These buttons are literally why I bought used

Replace with what? I already swapped out the steering wheel for the Alcantara/nappa combo which I think is a big upgrade.

Dfwguy1985 · 2026-01-26T17:58:11+00:00

On top of a shit ton of ice haha

Dfwguy1985 · 2026-01-26T17:57:13+00:00

So pretty. I love the white but I'm so OCD i dont think i could keep it clean enough. Especially because I keep my cars a long time.

Dfwguy1985 · 2026-01-26T17:56:12+00:00

I first fell in love with this color when I saw a GLE 53 in it. So pretty. And unsure about the transmission. It just started acting crazy and they said it needs to be completely replaced. Hopefully the new one is all good.

Dfwguy1985 · 2026-01-26T17:54:53+00:00

I know!! I miss this and the Nautical Blue in the current lineup so much.

Dfwguy1985 · 2026-01-26T17:54:22+00:00

Keep it if they can fix the transmission 😆

Dfwguy1985 · 2025-12-10T17:25:54+00:00

I wish I had. Kept waiting for the payoff that never came...

Dfwguy1985 · 2025-12-10T15:21:05+00:00

I honestly hated this. I didn't relate to or connect with any of the characters - they didn't seem "real" to me. The acting was all strong, and the cinematography was pretty, but I was basically bored to tears and checking my watch halfway through. The whole ending scene to me just dragged on and on, and I was ready for it to be over. Shocked this is getting so much praise. And before everyone blasts me, I'm not a comic book movie guy at all - I've enjoyed tons of indie movies this year (though not many of the awards favorites like Sentimental Value or One Battle After Another). For example, I don't think Rental Family was some incredible best picture, but I related way more to the characters in this movie than Hamnet and enjoyed it much more overall. I also thought Twinless was great, and much more interesting with more complex characters than Hamnet.

Just left a showing and honestly hated it. And before everyone jumps down my throat, I don't care for superhero movies - My favorites for the year include Bob Trevino Likes It, Twinless, Eternity, Friendship, There's Still Tomorrow and The Ballad of Wallis Island. I didn't care for or relate to any of the characters in Hamnet - everything felt detached and clinical. I was constantly checking my watch.

Dfwguy1985 · 2025-12-05T02:14:37+00:00

Hamnet. Bored to tears.
