Pictures of my MBenzNL mods... updated on my website.
For those who wanted to see them, I did new photo's of my car with the Steve MBenzNL Mods..
All that's missing is the folding mirror switch which is enroute as I type this from Holland to be installed by my stealer.

Ok... I'm a real moron now! 
I posted this on the W210 forum... it should be on the W211! 
I will now move over to the W211 form, THEN hit the post button!

Seriously, the washers are completely unneeded as the seat heaters in AZ.. Airmatic sounds good, but costs too much, and Keyless Go same thing (Steve said he wouldn't touch it!).
Next is ventilated seats...

Yup my Volvo had the xenon, and the park assist... and to drive the MB without both was just WRONG.
For me, just as WRONG is MBUSA not making those standard and raising the price a few grand.

The local BMW dealer does seem to order all 3 series with them - and their reason is that people expect a BMW to have them. I would think people expect a Mercedes to have them too.

that is my gripe I tell ya!I went to look for a car (I hate to order and wait!!) and they had 5, the most of any dealer at the time... all were STRIPPED! They must think diesel owners are cheap (Stupid American MBUSA perspective on their customers).. I wanted the works! And I got vinyl seats for Gods' sake!
