Airmatic ride height low at cold ambient temps.
There have been instances of Model 211 vehicles sitting too low at one or more corners after being parked at cold (15 degrees or colder) temperatures. Updated front air struts and rear air springs have been introduced, but only the faulty units are to be replaced, not all 4.

I've been busy for a while. I'm glad to hear your news, thanks. They told me mine had a "b2" production code which they said meant that it would be produced around the end of March. Anything else I should watch out for? BTW isn't it weird that they put 17X7.5" wheels on the E500 Sport and 17X8" on the E500? At least that is what the brochure says.

BTW and I should have said. It's good to see you are still around here. I remember all the help you were to folks when I was on a lot. I also remember folks trying to get you to do the work and research that their own techs wouldn't do!

I think that the Sport has 17x8J and the Standard has 17x8.5J
I like the standard wheels better but the width probably won't make much difference.
BTW, I've noticed the strange levelling on COLD days here in Chicago.
Didn't quite know what to make of it.
