Funny enough, I actually think BMW was the first automaker to use an electronic shifter in the E65 Bangle 7 and it was actually column mounted!
First and last time they used one, it's a cheap plastic column shift reminds me of a 80's squared off Cadillac and not sporty or premium a bit like Mercs old foot operated park brake....thunk!

Merc make some nice cars but for me the c class isn't one of them.
