premium 3 w/ 3d star?
i was thinking of getting the premium 3 package but I don't like the 2d star. can I get that package without distronic plus and therefore keep the 3d star? or alternatively, can I just swap the 2d star for a 3d star after purchase? Would that break anything besides distronic plus?

i'm getting feedback from the dealership that "it will cause the entire drive pilot system to stop functioning which will cause check engine light and other warnings on the dash"

Interesting. the 3d star is designed to house/protect the DISTRIONIC PLUS radar, so there is nothing to interfere with, if you don't have the driver assistance pack, which if you did, would mean your car would already have the 3d star.

the difference in the star is evident. I'm not sure which you would classify as 2d and which as 3d.

3d is the one that has a 3-dimensional star, which is the one without distronic. the star with distronic looks 2-dimensional.

yeah, the difference is clear. i just didn't realize until now that there was a difference in the first place, since mine doesn't have the distronic, and i assumed that all cars have the 3d star.
3d is the one that has a 3-dimensional star, which is the one without distronic. the star with distronic looks 2-dimensional.

i am considering getting premium 2 instead of 3 because of the star lol. the only thing i care about in premium 3 is the dynamic headlights and perhaps adaptive high beam assist

The 3D star really does look better but I only noticed this because of this thread! The 2D star looks 3D from a distance and without seeing a 3D version nearby seems quite normal

Do people actually use the distronic features? My first MB included it, but it was useless, because anyone that I tried to pace on the highway would be continuously on their gas peddle, then off their gas peddle. The constant acceleration/deceleration drove me nuts.
