What is the best feature on your '07 E350 or E550?

The 'coolest' feature IMO are the blue LED parking lights that compliment the Bi-Xenons on my new '07 E550.

How do you like your car? It is spec'd exactly as I'm considering. Are you pleased with the blue color also?
Thanks

For me got to be a toss up between the IPOD hookup and Keyless Go

Whats not cool???

My 350 has almost all of the toys (P2, sport, pano, 4 matic, and now tint). I am considering adding an AMG spoiler and BT.

Otherwise I'm happy, I would have liked more power though, oh maybe next time.

Brakes, they don't squeal like my 06 did(knock on wood.)

Harmon/Kardon sound.... 06 didn't have it.

+1 for the parking lights that match the xenons, those look killer.

I'd pick the whiplash protection and improved headrests they finally designed into the front seats to aid in the event of a rear-end impact

The car is great. Lots of power and torque. Of course...I haven't really opened it up yet, while in break-in period.

The Capri Blue is a very dark blue. At times, such as dusk, the color can look black. But the color is deep metallic. It's not a common MB color.

I have the Cashmere interior with a wood steering wheel. The interior is unique with the dash being a dark tan, with the lower parts under the wood inserts being a lighter tan.

Good luck with your purchase!

Capri Blue is one of my favorite colors on Mercedes!

It is tough to choose, but I have to say I get a kick out of the keyless go and the trunk closer. iPod hookup works great. Wish I could say the bluetooth, but it is useless with our Treos. Very disappointing.

That's too bad about your Treos. I have a Treo 700p (Verizon) and it works great. Other than not having the address book downloaded - I've had no trouble w/BT.

Best Feature

I like the one touch feature on the 7G tranny that puts you in the most optimal gear for braking or acceleration. I use it more for braking or holding speed on long down hills. Don't think my 05 E500 had this feature.

This response is regarding my 04 E500, but I believe these apply to the 07. Above and beyond the obvious, I like the convenient location on the front upper interior door panel for adjusting the seats. I like the cutouts on the back of the front seats for the rear passenger extra "knee room". I like the fancy automatic opening six disc in the dash. I also like the charcoal air filter.

Keyless Go, sounds like it might be a good
feature when I get my 08.

However I wonder why they didn’t make it
totally automatic like Corvette.

(Auto unlocks when you approach and auto
locks when you leave; no pushing buttons.)
