Hi all,
I have just received my E350 Cabriolet. It is all great except it came with wrong badge, E200 instead of E350 and 4matic. Everything including documents, VIN no, existence of EQ boost (only other EQ boost model cabriolet is E53) confirms that it is E350. Besides, there is no E200 cabriolet at all and 4matic is only available on E450 and E53 Cabriolet.

Mercedes confirmed that it is just a wrong badge and it is booked for rebadging.

Has anyone had similar experience? Given sticking a badge is the most trivial part of the production, should I be worried that something else is wrong as well? To be fair, Mercedes confirmed that they will do more checks other than rebadging. Please, let me know. Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone for your comments (some could be less rude). I don't think I have option to keep E200 or remove as Mercedes confirmed they will rebadge as E350. Just wanted to know if anyone had such experience and if I have to be worried for anything else. Thanks again.

All sorted. E200 is now replaced by E350. However, 4Matic is still there (non 4Matic car) - I don’t mind. MB did check up and there was only one issue(I reported before check up). It was unpowered 12V socket which was subsequently powered (apparently never connected and it was not only new car which had same problem fixed that day in MB Brooklands). I hope I won’t find more problems in the future. Thanks all for your valuable contributions.
