2003 E320, looking to buy a Black 03 ML500
Bought my E320 today!

The wife and I bought a CPO 2003 E320 Desert Silver/Stone with 40K miles, Wood steering wheel, and heated seats.

We could not be more happy and I really do want to thank all of you for your answers to my questions.

I'm looking forward to tricking out the car with chrome and wood trim pieces from Performance Parts. We also Comand Nav replacement, but we will see.

What other aftermarket items should I consider?

Thanks
Will

17 or 18" wheels. The 16s that come with the e320 look way to small IMO.

Congrats! I'm sure you'll enjoy the E320. I'm already very happy with the baseline E200K, so I'm sure the E320 will serve you well.

Congatulations!

Not sure on all the chrome (mirrors, headlight rings, door handle shells, etc.). Make sure this is what you really want.

Suggestions:
17" or 18" rims
35% Tint
Euro Impact strips or clear corners
Flat hood badge
Aluminum door pins
Schatz shift knob
OEM sport pedals from SL/SLK
Cat back exhaust
Lowering springs
AMG or Sport model grille with 5 slats rather than 4

Good luck and post pics when you get it complete!

Our '03 is in Desert Silver/Stone also. Desert Silver is, in my opinion, an elegant color that changes with different lighting conditions. At dusk it sometimes looks like pure silver. It also doesn't show dirt and so reduces the need for washing. Pity that Mercedes chose to drop it as a color choice across the entire M-B line.

Go to www.zainostore.com and buy a bottle of 8 oz show polish, and the zfx accelerator kit. It produces amazing results, with not much effort.
