Panarama sunroof

It is awesome. Mine is virtually invisible on the outside; black glass on black.

Just playing devils advocate. Didn't order it on ours, although we were tempted, as she gave up her convertible for it. We plan to keep the car for a long time and read many reports of issues with rattling and operation glitches. Recently my service advisor said hers all of a sudden started not sealing properly and it was quite a project to get it resolved. She said for her she wasn't worried about the repairs, of course, but in her experience she wouldn't recommend it. Just my $0.02. Probably just being a nervous nilly. Enjoy it for us.

Didn't mean to be a kill joy but when I searched prior to ordering, it did seem to be an issue. We optioned ours with everything available on the 350 except the pano roof and the wood wheel. Looks very cool, I must say and probably really nice. Anybody else have current feedback?

I have the pano roof on my black E Saks. It sucks that you really cant see it since it is on black. Your right,you really get your monies worth when you have the pano roof on white. It really is impresive looking.

Thanks for your responses about the pano-roof. It was very helpful.

I have owned several models of all the German manufactured cars, except MB. Which means I am as dumb as a log when it comes to understanding how deep their inventory of cars is in the States. My question is- If my wife wants a '08 E550 in white with pano-roof and P02, could this typically be found in inventory or do I need to order one? (I will be in "buy" mode on Aug/Sept).

Thanks again.

Pano

I absolutely LOVE my pano roof! It has been 100% trouble free. I'd get it again in a heartbeat!

Depending on where you live and what MB center you use will ultimately determine that. Here in sunny southern Cali there are lots of MB's equipped with pano, P02 that are white.

Only problem you'll run into... typically when a dealer orders the E350's with Pano's and P02, they will then usually load them up with thing like automatic trunk, 60/40 split, iPod, Bluetooth, AMG Kit (for 2008) and so on and so on.

If your budget is tight and you only want the things you are looking for than a) try your luck at your local dealer, and if they don't have it see if another dealer does. Dealers will typically trade cars. Some dealers are on bad terms with one other and will insist a particular car cannot be found so do your homework. b) you can order it as you are suggesting (the advantage to this of course is that NO ONE will have test driven your car).

If budget is not a concern, than happy hunting in a few weeks.

Good luck
