I have it. It comes with P2 in the US.
Works great. I put it up everytime I park in the sun and that, along with a front sun shade, keeps most of the sun out of the car.
Works well for keeping the sun off of the kiddo's too.

C300 Sport/Palladium Silver on Black/P2
Yes, it's nice. If you have rear passengers regularly, it's an even added bonus cause when the sun at their backs it really helps tremendously.
Is it something people could live without? Probably. However, it is one of the cool features for this class of car (sorta unexpected by some people). I like it.

'08 C300 Sport White w/ P2 MM & Pano
I love it. I wouldn't get the car without it, even though I never have passengers in the back.
I use it when people are tailgating me

I don't have one on the E350. Don't really miss it even though I live in Florida. I used to put it up whenever parked as well as a sunshade in the windshield. I don't really notice a difference without it in the new car. I still use a windshield shade in the front.
Your experience may vary.

'08 C300 Lux Barolo Red Beige Leather P2 MM 18" wheels '84 944
sunshade
<<Does anyone have a rear roller-blind? Does it work well? Any problems? I'm considering whether to get this or get extra window tinting.>>
This is my 2nd MB with the rear sunshade. I use it whenever I park tail into the sun. Protects my leather seats a bit and keeps the heat down a little.
Just one more good reason to specify P2. And a whole lot more useful than the Pano roof.

I have it on mine and on my previous car and I really like it.
I have it up all the time and rarely have to retract it, even at night. It really cuts down on the glare from headlights from trucks and SUVs as the auto-tinting rear view mirror could only do so much.

OK, here in Australia the roller blind costs about US$800, about the same as tinting. The factory tint is not bad already. If I get extra tinting, this will cover all the windows, but I find it too dark when reversing at night.
If I get the roller blind, the side windows still lets heat in, but I think it blocks out more heat from the back. I also like being able to put it up and down, and also having more buttons on the dash!
Maybe I can get the blind and only tint the side windows?

I cannot afford the local speed tickets and the W221 appears to attract amazingly odd vehicles (the vehicle type pretty much reflecting the driver intelligence).

I got your rear shade brotha, I love it. I use it when I dont want people behind me who share to stop. And I also use it when I get a big truck behind me at night or goofs who drive with high beams on. Anyway I love it and very glad I got it.

Hello,
This would seem like such a superfluous feature, but I've had loaners with it and I am real sorry that I don't have it. It's really a nice to have item.
