German Car Zone

This is the Mercedes-Benz shop across and left from the Feldherrnhalle in Munich. I was in the vicinity when I spotted the small W212 E-Class exhibition they had going on. The highlight were the various E-Class headlights from different generations on display that would illuminate on and off.

I took some videos too to give a feel of the place. The best thing about this is that this place is located in a section of Munich where there are many tourists. This is therefore a great way for the car to get exposure.

I heard and saw people for example from Spain, Russia, Italy, Australia and America. They were talking amongst themselves about the new E-Class. The Australians loved the E-Class. I should have taken a video of them, maybe next time. The Americans hardly talked about the W212 but were more interested in that SLK350 for some reason (which was weird since they were a huge family of five kids and two parents!).

I didn't know there is a Mercedes Shop!

Anyway, this idea with the old front lights is totally awesome! Thanks for the photos Christian!

Hmmm...



I think I'm starting to like the look of this thing...

great display, using all the old e class headlights to feature the new one!

By the way, the hood on that thing wasn't properly closed. I didn't risk getting into the car, opening the hood release mechanism and shutting it properly because there were so many people crowding around this thing all the time. I had to wait until I could actually get a proper people-free shot of this car.

cawimmer430You live in a wonderful city for someone interested in cars. I remember your beautiful photos of super cars on streets of Munich (thanks for all btw) and this time not on the road but a stationary mercedes-benz in a different exhibition. It is obvious that you spent many hours for photography, I think it is very important for making an enthusiast of photography a dedicated photographer. Thank you very much for sharings.

I'm really in love with that car,i want a black one

Awesome pics chris..as usual

Thanks for those kind words.

I went there again today to take even better pictures. Still have to sort through them since I took about 200.

Great to see a special shop for the W212!!! Love the collection of headlights…and absolutely happy to see the W211 ones!! Still my favourite E-Class of all time!!

You can be really glad, that you're allowed to take pictures at the dealer and here…I have to get a permission of the dealer management now - with detailed information, why I want to take shots etc… they have no idea about advertisement for free…

Wow.....great coverage as usual Chris. The E looks better and better, only a few more months before I see it in person.
