I took them. I have relatives who live in _______ and Chris Bangle lives right across from them. He drove a black 740d at the time I took those shots. Don't have them anymore and that was the time I still used Hotmail - which sucked so much that I went over to Yahoomail and never looked back. Since then my old Hotmail account has been deleted because I never checked it.

Obviously yes, but they can still sample useful information that will be used to potentially style or develop different kits that consumers can purchase in order to individualize their W212. The Internet is a powerful tool!

Just visited the German MB website and can't find the pictures.

I was just speculating anyway that these are teaser shots to see how people in car forums react. By now it is no secret that their marketing departments actually screen automotive forums for feedback, positive and negative.

Re: Official: W212 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Looks like this really was a real picture of the W212 even though some doubted it:

In the German Mercedes-Benz front page move the cursor on the "Mercedes Welt" panel and choose "Aktuelles". Then click "Typbezeichnung" on the left (or scroll down until you see a link to an article called "Neue Namen, neue Technik" with partial picture of the W212 rear end and click "Zu den Details").

Clearly those are the not the exact same cars!
