Question Options on '04/'05 E500 Wagon

What are the available options on '04/'05 E500 wagon?

It seems all of the options that W211 E55 sedan has except the followings as I never come across any '04 / '05 w/ them:
- Parktronics
- Panoramic roof
- Ventilated seats (heater / cooler)

Anyone knows for sure?

Parktronic is not available as an option for the wagons in the U.S. Pano roof is not available in the wagon, period.

Thanks.... just one more option to be answered - ventilated seat.

Hey, you do have both E55 and E500.... does the power feel totally different? I know it's a stupid question.... but is it reasonable? I've never test driven an E500.... so not sure how 304 hp feels like.

Thanks.

Ventilated seats are an option on the wagon I believe. Heated seats are definitely available.

Power between the E500 and E55 is significantly different. Ride, steering, etc. feel different. Ergonomics are largely the same. E55 has "tighter" seats and alcantara headliner. Hope that helps.

ventilated seats

My 05 E500 4matic wagon has the heated/cooled seats. Of course, in Texas it never gets hot enough to need the cooled seats. One day it was 111*; but with the wind chill factor it only felt like 110*.

I have heated/ventilated seats on my 04 E500 wagon, too.

Thanks guys..... am considering for a gently used E500 wagon.... hopefully, I could get the one w/ the right options and the right price. I wish the wagon had parktronics option.... that'd be useful for my wife who has scratched the bumper couple times in parking lots

Have Parktronic on my W210 wagon

I have this on my 03 wagon, and would not want to give it up. I have ranted on other threads re: the stupidity of not offering parktronic on a WAGON, in which the visibility is worse than the sedan (on which you CAN order parktronic).
