2003 E320
Expect to see something like the stepless door brake/soft close available on BMW 7-series. Beats me why not on front doors. There are no buttons to operate, the system is smart enough to detect surface incline and stop the door, or to pull it in if you close it most of the way.

To owners who have taken delivery of the W211 beast - is the electronic compass already a standard feature?

I test-drove an E320 Avantgarde in Australia in October 2002, which had an electronic compass which appears in the LCD display screen in the instruments panel. I wasn't able to find the menu that turns that feature on in subsequent test drives.

The night vision like Cadilac would be a great feature on the E.

AUTO OPENING DOORS ARE STANDARD ON JAPANESE TAXIS
Perhaps the "addition" of automatic opening rear doors on the E Class is simply an accomodation to the Japanese Taxi industry which for years has had same as standard equipment on almost all taxis in that country. It may well not be an option that is available across the board, much less in the USA.
