Just saw the pics of the new gauge cluster...
and personally, I don't really like the big clock on the left gauge. I saw the pics that someone posted from the E-motion event. Does anyone know if the E55 will have different gauges? I think the S class cluster looks much better.
Thanks.
Thanks.

i agree about the clock...i rather have it posting other stuff about the car itself...like the fuel level etc. sometimes the fuel level isn't as easily read as my older E.
but compared to the S class, i think its a bit better because the needle is a little bigger and looks younger imo.

Although I do agree I'd rather have other information in its place, after driving the E the instrument cluster is very tastefully done and the clock is not as large and obnoxious as it seems in pictures.

The clock inside the dash is a classic MB thing that came back with the w211 - The dash in the Avantgarde looks the best of all in my opinion (better than the classic and elegance models, Nonsport in the us)

No idea, however I do know that lots of MB models in the 80's and 70's had it. Cadillac most probably copied that

I'm not sure having the clock in the instrument cluster is so great. Personally, I'd rather have oil pressure, etc., information as opposed to a clock.
