Question e90 daytime running lights question

hi... I still haven't received my MB e90... two weeks late so far... :mad:

Anyway... since I don't yet have the vehicle in my possession, I don't know the answer to this...

I was looking through some specs on bmw's site and noticed that the coupe models can use the rings (angel eyes) around the headlamps as DRLs. Is this the same for the sedan models, or is this just a coupe feature?

Thanks, guys...

sorry, I meant monaco blue, but I understand the confusion. and thanks for the reply, canucklion.

speaking of which....

...warning...

...have you guys seen the new 2008 C-class? am I the only one who feels m-benz "borrowed" more than a couple styling cues from the 3-series? I mean, they even ditched the signature m-benz round headlights...

I think a lot of car companies borrow many styling cues from BMW. I guess Bangle wasn't such an moran afterall. For the record I like his designs, well except for the Z4--drives great though.

you know what, the more I look at the new C-Class, the more I like it, it's certainly more striking than the last gen C-Class

FYI, the C-Class had never had truly rounded headlights like the E-Class did (the W203 was as close as rounded gets, W202 and W201 all have rectangular headlights), and the design cues came from the S-Class, not a E90.

It is more striking, that's true... it also really does look more like a bmw than a merc.
