Sport package on 2007 E350s
I was at the dealer picking up some parts for my E55, and noticed that 2007 E350s come with sport package as a NO COST option! I was pleasantly surprised b/c it seemed like you get a lot more for the money. MB used to charge $4000+ for sport packages, which only included rims & bumpers. But this E350 seemed to have that PLUS x-drilled brakes, lower suspension, and special wood interior?
when did this happen? were 05-06 E350s also available with sport pkg?
I'd be very happy with a E350 or E550 sport package in a few years when i sell my E55.

Thats a European Spec car. I guess its up to that country's Authorized importer to choose from the many variations and feature combinations available to them from MB Germany.

Yup sports packages have been offered on the E-Class for past year or so at no cost. I believe for the 2008 models they will add the AMG package again, now the question is will there be a cost.

As far as offering the sport package as a no-cost option in the last couple years, I suspect it is due to slowing C-class sales ahead of the all-new model coming this year. MB has been actively marketing the E-class to keep overall sales high, and tempting younger, 'sportier' buyers from a fresh BMW 3-series or Lexus IS with a low lease payment on a sport-package E-class seems to be the strategy, rather than pushing the lame-duck C-class.

The new 211 "ECE" sport package started out as an option at the end of MY06 for USA cars. Yes, when compared to the previous appearance package (MY03-06), which included some of the sport components but with 17" wheels, it was a bargain in MY06 at $2250 for the 350 and $1275 for the 500. The AMG sport package at $5000 was dropped at this time. As of MY07, the ECE sport package became a no-cost option for the 350 and 550 sedan. MBUSA recently announced that the AMG sport package, which was used for the Key to the Cure Cars, will now be available for ordering on the sport sedans for $2000. I would assume this would continue for MY08.

From what I've seen the true AMG sport package is no longer available. I never understood why MBNA doesn't let the US order more options if we are willing to pay for them. Especially on the Bluetec, the options list is sadly short....

I like the NEW sport package
My wife and I test drove the E350 w/sport package and what a difference from the 04 E320 w/16 inch rims!
The car is entirely different. What a great package, add that to a P2, iPod, Bluetooth, not to mention the improved Harmon Kardon system, and the great lease rates for April, now you've got a great car.
We are still in the shopping phase, and it is for "her". I'll keep you posted.
