I have the Michelin tires. I am not sure of the built date. It may be a little older because it has the promotional fold down rear seats. I took deliver June 22, 2003.

Well, I'm glad there was the "promotional offer" for the 2003s since I need the folding rear seat and $100 is much less than the E4 package for 2004 (split folding rear & ski pass through & maybe folding passenger seat?)

2003 E500 Sport
Feb 03 Build; 4/6/03 Delivery.
I got the Conti SportContact 2 95W, which I believe means W rated. Pretty happy so far. I like them much better than the Goodyear Eagles my last car (Audi A6 w.7T) came with.
On the Launch Package, two dealers told me (in April) that it was pretty hard to find an E500 without it, and equally hard to find an E320 with it. Can't prove it by me, but when I was looking, every E500 on the lot I saw had it, and none of the E320's did.

I found the build date. The car was built April, 2003 and came with the Michelin "W" rated. I asked the sales person before I purchased what brand of tires were on the car. She said that she did not know since the tires were purchased in bulk by Mercedes-Benz.
