No, you can order it......only items on delay for the Eclass is the DVD Nav, Trunk Closer, and folding rear seat.

Thanks, guys.

I changed my options to include panoramic roof today. My options also include Sports Package and active-ventilated seats. (The sun can be brutle here in So. Cal.:p)

I did not order changer b/c I was told MB dealer can install the in-dash cd changer as a dealer-installed option.

Sorry dens, for not replying ealier.

Was in NY over the weekened, hot, muggy and thunderstorms, very happy to be back and living in So. Cal.

I ordered mine from House of Imports, but do not have a production date yet since I changed my options, which would probably put me to the back of the list.

The person I deal with at HOI did not tell me about any restriction on ordering panoramic roof before it comes out. He was happy to change my option list to include the roof.

I ordered my E500 with the pano roof. The order was accepted but my saleman told me that MB may dleay production of the car or substitute the standard roof. He just doesn't know yet if they are ready to fo with the pano. Only time will tell. I'll be sure to post if they change my order or push back production of my car.

dens,
I take it you're somewhere close to the Pasadena area. If Rusnak is not taking orders, try Calstar Motors in Glendale or Penske Motorcars in Covina. I ordered mine from Calabasas.
