07 E550 suspension softer than 03 E500?

Just got a new to me 07 E550 4 matic to replace our 03 E500 sport notice the ride is smoother and even in Sport II setting (both cars) the old E500 still seems firmer (sportier).

I just want to hear from others if their experience is same or not.

Thx

i am not sure, but i remember others stating the 03 airmatic system having more "difference" between the C, S1, and S2 settings and it being much more firm on the S1 and S2 than later models.

Thanks for your reply gaazmon,

I remember the same thing when I had my 03 when broswing the forum when someone mention the airmatic on 04+ is total different.

Anybody knows if there is any difference between 04+ and 07+?

Can the airmatic be tune with the sds beyond the ride height?
