Split rear seats for W210?

Did Mercedes ever sell a split/folding rear seat option for the W210 like they now do for the W211 series?

If so, is it retrofitable?

No, because behind the rear seats is the gas tank. So that just wasn't feasible. It's sad, cuz that's one of my favorite feature.

Hey - thanks for the quick response. And now that you say that, I remember peeking behind the panel there and noting the gas tank; that slipped my mind.

I'll save my pennies for an E320 CDI when they finally become available here in CA...and am enjoying my 99 Turbodiesel a lot so far.

There's that thing i read on the CDI section of the forums, where if you get a CDI w/ 7k miles or something like that from outta state, that you can legal register it here in Cali... you should look into it.

Believe me, I thought about it...in fact, there was a 05 CDI at a dealer in Florida, with 5,000 miles on it, advertised online last month (the drive back would have put it over the 7,500 mile limit). The law here reads a bit ambiguously and it wasn't clear whether they'd allow it in. I'm OK to wait until I can get a brand new one with my choice of color and options (maybe even do European delivery).
