A Couple of Pix of the '07
Truth be told, any other car I was considering to replace my '04 E 500 Pales by comparison to this one. To be fair, though, if I can't keep this car out of the shop like the other one... what good is a magnificent car that you can't enjoy? Time will tell. MB swears they worked the problems out. I hope so. I do want to love this car. But so far (48 hours) its all one could hope for.
Thanks for taking the Pix Starbrite! Stop by tomorrow (Sat) for the Glove Compartment shelf fo your car. I forgot to bring it to work today. You meet the nicest guys here!

Glove Box is Different too
The interior of the glove box won't accept a shelf anymore & it has a large accordion type lip on the bottom so that stuff can't slide out with the door open under hard acceleration. So now there's "liftover" to get something inside. It makes the opening smaller.

I didn't notice it until Barry pointed it out (like the button on the trunk.) Don't know the pricing

I got mine too long ago to remember. ($40 - $50?) Wish I could help. It came standard in the '03s. The side walls of the glove box have a thin black fuzzy "rail" protruding on each side about midway thru the light on the left side. It slides thru and into the sides of the shelf. The shelf is the "female" to the wall's "male".
The shelf is black & fuzzy on top with a chrome strip across the front visible to the passenger. Maybe when STARBRITE picks it up from me, he'll post a pic.

Great color. Have Fun and don't get to many tickets...
The button is there on the trunk unless they have changed the E550 in the past few weeks. If you put your right hand on the manual release like you are opening it, your index finger should be right on the button.
enjoy.

Nothing better than that New Car Smell! (New Mercedes Smell). Even makes the garage smell good... Beautiful car you have there. I've had mine just over a week now. Loving it!

Way to go Barry. Great color choice!
RE: Scanning presets from the steering wheel. On mine, I can NOT scan through the Sat radio presets. Pretty odd function to be missing, IMO. I just took delivery of a GL450 a couple weeks back, and the wheel buttons do allow scanning the SAT presets in the GL. Pretty odd that 2 brand new models have what should be a standardized feature set up differently.
Enjoy your ride!

For some reason (besides the guard rail on the floor of the glove box shelf), the glove box on this one feels so much smaller. No biggie... as long as it stays out of the shop.

Believe me Barry knows where it is. You are talking about the one in Post #13 pix above, right ?

PN is 211-689-06-30, cost is less than $15.00. Pix show top and bottom and, of course, in the car.
Note the 2 circled "female" holders in pic 2, which do hold the shelf securely.

No problemo. I liked it because all of the CDs fit on the bottom & the shelf left room for the normal papers & junk on the top. Enjoy!
