"what is that thing passing us up so fast?"

The driver's side mirror cost an arm and a leg (in spite of the MB dealer in Aachen giving me a great discount since he was happy to see me again). Since it gets dark along with the center rear view mirror and it is heated it is the most expensive. The passenger mirror that is just heated was no big deal.
Here is a picture, the Euro mirrors have a vertical line that indicates where the mirror is extremely convex and helps eliminate the blind spot. I would recommend these to anyone (if you have the money to spend on this kind of stuff).

The butterfly console cup holders don't grip a cup well, and there are electronics under them that would be an expensive disaster if they got wet... but they always amaze people when they unfold & deploy!

i really like the new facelift, the front grille with the emblem is nice, and it's more wider and V like grille, the bumper kind of remind me of the last generation RL facelift bumper
