K2, K3, K4, also came with AMG styling I (430 wheels), CD Changer

I love my xenon lamps and moonroof the most! Heated seats and headlight washers aren't that big of a deal in Texas.

Being that I have back problems from being rear ended twice, the heated seats are awesome IMO. However, currently my left one is broken, and gets hot enough to my upper thigh. I also smell something burning when I turn it on, which I hope is the seat and not me.

Electric memory seats
The additional lumbar support stuff on the seats
folding mirrors
parktronic
sunroof
auto-aircon
rear blind
COMAND
6 CD
Bose
integrated Nokia 6210 mobile phone
Voice recognition [retrofit, wasnt available in UK]

Additional deadlocks on boot (trunk)
Alarm with motion and anti-tow sensors

Ok so I'm not alone in this...

The sales lady that sold me the car advised me to get the heated seats but I did not listen to her. What a mistake. So far it's been a mild winter up here in Canada and I still think I would have gotten good use out of them. I also didn't get the Nav system.
It's a $4200 option (Canadian dollars- about $10USD...lol) and I figured it's not worth the money.

Don't know what are in the K3 or K4, so I guess I'll just have to list. I have the MB price card beside me

Command system
Headlight wash system
High performance Bose sound system
Rain sensor wipers
Heated front seats
Sunroof, glass,w'rear pop up feature
Xenon high intensity discharge headlamps
6-Disc Compact Disc Changer

....I think that's it.

Question to Christy, or anyone that has the upgrated Bose system:

Did you listen to both standard & upgrated systems before you ordered that option? Is there much of a differance is sound performance? Is it worth the upgrade?

Options

The K3 package (sunroof, rain sensor wipers, rear power sunshade)

Multi-contour seats, 6 CD changer.

BTW, in the U.S. models the CLK is standard with the "Audio 30" Alpine/Bose system with speed sensitive volume compensation.

I wouldn't go without any of the options I got.

I decided to pass on the K4 package (xenons, headlamp washer, heated seats). plus, I didn't care for the looks of the front bumper with the headlamp washer units in it.

I could have ordered the heated seats individually, but the climate is so mild where I live I didn't see much use for it.
