E400 Coupe Sport Package

I'm ready to place the order for an E400 4matic Coupe, but unclear about whether or not to get the sport package. I noticed that one of the features of the package is a sport tuned suspension that lowers the ride height. I'm a little concerned about how that will effect handling in the snow. (We live in New England.)

I'm interested in hearing thoughts and experiences...

It'll be fine...the drop is very small and the 4matic and all seasons with be sufficient and snow tires will make it superior but is definitely NOT necessary

E400 With Sport Package

I have the E400 and sport package. I live in Western NY, and we've seen everything this winter. You'll be fine. I'm running the stock Michelin tires and have had no issues; thanks to 4Matic!

2015 E400 Coupe
I got my e400 in November with 4matic, Michelin A/S tires, and sports package. I had no issues during the blizzard this past week. I am in NYC/LI. The ride is perfect IMO. It is stable with minimal body roll but still comfortable on NYC roads.
