Question 05 E500 / How can I tell what packages my car has?

Other than piece parting things together (it has dark wood so it must have X package as an example) is there any way maybe by vin etc...to nail down exactly what packages my car came with?

Thanks all

guys thanks for the responses and sharing the info that was a great help...the only additional question I now have is how to lump these into packages...in other words the dark wood, airmatic suspension etc...generally are part of the sport package (think thats what its called) and while the data sheets you've shared with me list all the individual options how do I group them together in order to determine packages?
