Does anyone know what happened to the EQE Configurator ..... it was there last week

Hopefully not updating with less equipment due to chips! If you open this page in chrome it will likely offer to translate for you (probably has more options than UK version where options come more packaged together)

Well the configurator is back on line with the AMG versions offered and the 350+ removed and replaced with the 300 but still no rear wheel steering that is offered everywhere else except UK. Also I notice that the 300 version specification shows a slower 0-60 time of 7.3S where it was 6.4S for the 350+............. slowly losing interest in purchasing the EQE after the initial excitement.

There are a very small number brand new 350 with immediate delivery on Autotrader right now. I suspect insurance cost / group goes up for 300 vs 350 vs vs 400 vs 450 vs 580 vs 53. Hopefully more options will become available including rear wheel steer in UK not just for 53 at the moment. Mercedes is considering allow direct-to-factory orders, bypassing local dealer strategy, which might increase model options for specific markets, not sure. It might be worth asking for preferred spec to be purchased by extra special order, though this may require extra special circumstance
