If you want your xenons to have levelers, which consist of sensors all around the car.. This would be a pretty expensive project after you buy the car if im not mistaken.. Not to mention the cheapest projectors cost a lot to begin with.. Besides its so much harder to sell a amg car without some basic options like xenons

I went through this delemma as well when I picked up my C55. My thinking ended being that I really didnt want the bumper squirters. I wanted the Bi-xenon lights but not the washers, so I ended up not getting the lighting package. I had worked out w/ my dealer to retrofit just the lights, all that is going fine, but the more I look at the car (and my buddies' cars) the more I like the look of the car W/O the bi-xenon. I think the head lamp is prettier w/o the chrome back plate and projector.
Anyway, its probably just my imagination, but I've heard it from a few ppl as well. I'm still 99% going to go ahead and retrofit the lights.
As for Command...I didnt get that either...I have it in the E55 and never use it, so I didnt even bother with this one.
If its the car you want then get it...if its a car you're sacrificing for...ie you WANT the lights and command but can't get them...then don't get it.

When I picked up my C55 this morning at the dealer's warehouse parking lot, I did take a very close side by side look of a 200K and my C55 ( without and with Xenon ); a C55/C320 without Xenon will look like a 200K for sure.
If you go to take one more look , you know what I mean.
Don't buy that C55. The shop you walk to is like many "pre-packages" car sellers I have seen in HK, they simply made a bad decision to cut the Xenon even we can forgive they do want to make the price more attractive for the buyers.
C55 is gonna be a very good looking car comparable to CLK , the Xenon will contribute 30% to that overall look and feel result.

My guess is that your C32 doesn't have them either. Most people I know, after having Xenons would never go back.
