My dealer confirmed it for me today, it Acquired a
2006 Alabaster white/stone E500 for me today. It has Sport package, 626 pano roof premium package, Black Birdseye trim AND trunk closer.

This is the 4th Eclass they have tried to acquire for me in the last week. Shipping company will be bringing it from florida, and should be in boston with in the week I believe!!! So excited.

I think the steering wheel shifting is only for the AMG.

personally not a big fan of the white ( resale value), but the rest of the options you have make this a great deal. finding a e500 with sport and pana packages is a good one.

the ML is sitting nice and snug in the driveway... she is going to spending QUALITY time with the mechanics at our garage... new springs and shocks, new tires, I believe we need to repack some hub bearings, and need to get the front bumper replaced again... thanks to some ******* at best buy

I am still AMGed

thats the exact one i want but with the 350 engine! does the exhaust sound different than a non sports package e500? on mbusa they claim it gives more "muscular sound"

btw did you ever find out that info on the demo e500 you saw at your dealership? can you pm me any info?
