More Info on E3 Sport Package

I just got off the phone with my dealer and he ran down the options that I had order for my E320. The sports package has changed a bit for the E320 then what is reflected on MBUSA.

Dealer stated Sports Package-
· Airmatic Dual Control
· Headlamp Washing System
· Bi-Xenon Headlamps
· 5 Spoke Wheel 17"
· Drive-Dynamic Seats

MBUSA stated Sports Package-
· Airmatic Dual Control
· Headlamp Washing System
· Bi-Xenon Headlamps
· 5 Spoke Wheel 17"
· Avant Garde Package

My dealer could not verify if the Avante Garde package is still part of the Sports package with the Birds-eye wood trim and the chrome trim gauges. But atleast we now get Dynamic Seats as part of the package.

My dealer said they are anticipating around $4,900. Could be more, could be less, cause nothing has been formalized yet.

So the sport package is around 5 grand and does not come with an AMG body kit. Is there any available sport package for the 500? Or does the 500 come standard with the AMG kit?

There is a sport package for the 500 as well. I will cost slightly less than the package for the 320 because the 500 comes with Airmtic DC standard. As for the AMG package in the U.S., you will not be able to order it as a factory installed option. You will have to go aftermarket. But in other areas of the world, the AMG package is available as a factory installed option.

The C never really had an AMG bodykit included in the Sport package (had AMG wheels at one point I believe though-before the redesign). The E had an AMG kit, along with AMG wheels for the E420 Sport package. When the model changed to the E430, it had the same kit....but no AMGs. Eventually the Sport package and E55s front bumper got a styling change (in 2000 I think). The S, SL, CL models all have AMG kits/wheels included in the Sport package.

So, now the new E doesn't have any AMG parts at all included...at least for the U.S. .
