You are going to start a bunch of whining here in the USA by posting pics of an E350 Sport with Airmatic suspension and paddle shifters. Airmatic is only available on the E550 and E63 in North America, and the paddle shifters are only on the E63. Can you get a diesel with sport package, too? How about a 4-Matic diesel?

The tail lights are a little bit crude looking, and leave me a little cold. But, we'll see how they look in person. I like all the other tweaks though. Luxury with an aggressive edge.
It doesn't make me want to run right out and trade mine in for a new one though, but nice.

I originally said this (in response to your pictures of an Australian E350)

I don't understand your response. Are you suggesting that Steve can add Airmatic suspension and paddle shifters to a North American car that came from the factory without these items? Are you suggesting that Steve can add the Sport package and 4-Matic to a North American diesel? I am aware of his reputation as one of the best "mod men" on the planet, but this may be beyond even his legendary capabilities.

I'm with 45, Don't think I'm digging those tail lights either............ But those exhaust tips in that rear bumper look great, so does the front end changes... My wife and I both looked at the pictures together and we agree that the up-dates make the the car look more agressive and would probably appeal more to the guys.

then you can have most of the items in the photos. If you want YOUR wish list then you will need to factory order it.
Is that Platinum Blue Metallic?
