2000 E 430
Can any of you guys confirm that the E500 will have a sport package that includes the sportier 5 spoke wheels and more importantly the dual exhausts! IMO the dual exhausts I've seen in other pictures look awesome and I didn't realize the standard production model would be without them.

2000 CLK430 Coupe
JCM5,
The 5 double-spoke rims come on both the E320 and the E500.
The E320 comes with a 16" version of the wheel and the E500 comes with a 17" version.
I wish they both came with the 17" version.

WOW!! hahaha..that looks like my E500! well..same color, same wheels but diff. spec...looks absolutely stunning. I saw this car in hong Kong before, but was in dark green/silver/black. it looks smaller than the current E class but definitely slicker.
This car has the Elegance package, which comes standard. the 500 has the choice of 17" wheels and 16". The so called sports package is the Advantgarde package that MB is offering, so you will noT see the AMG skirts on non-amg E classes. at least that's what my salesman told me. the Advantgard is to have black burl trim and 5 spoke rims with the different skirts. i'm not sure if it sits lower though.
oh yea.... teh silver E500 in these pictures look Higher?? than the blue E500??? why is that? or is it just my imagination?
and last thing. I have seen the AMG package in hong kong, and it is absolutely STUNNING!! it was parked in the Zung Fu(hk mb) parking lot upstairs where my dad took delivery of his CL500 this summer. I tried to take pictures, but i was quickly stopped by the personel there. too bad...but it is a very very nice looking package.
