Not while your driving thankfully It won't open then. But it will make you wonder why the window isn't going up when your pressing the button done that enough to be glad they thought that through. But the button placement gets me. Why there and not the nice flat spot under the park brake release?

And why is 1st gear not straight back from 2nd on the shifter gate instead of on the same angle from 3rd to 2nd.. ever go for 2nd gear from 3rd and slide on through to 1st?

Also why does the MAF/air intake sit right over the very hottest spot under the hood. I've always wondered why the abs module and air boxes aren't swapped in their locations instead of going across the engine/exhaust manifolds with the intake.

But then again nothing is perfect it's still a fantastic car. But certainly things that make you wonder.

for newer cars MB designers changed switches for facelift cars

Wow really different. Your shifter gate is different too. Very nice, looks like you have all the extras.

Not going to lie.. Kinda jealous be nice to have a sunshade and parking distance warning.

I wonder if a guy could swap shifter gates or gear selector module to the pre face lift 97. Does the 43 have the same transmission?
