2009 E-Class W211: "Luxury vs Sport"? They look the same...

Hi All,

I could not find this info anywhere, please help

I am looking for a used car, a W211. Found 2 of them, both 2009 version, that look exactly the same, with AMG wheels, AMG type of bumpers, etc. But one is called "2009 E-Class Luxury" and the other one is called "2009 E-Class Sport Edition" - I am confused, what is the difference? I know the 2010 model has difference in the appearance, but these 2 look the same.

Just for comparison, here are 2 cars on Carmax:

2009 E350 Sport:

2009 E350 Luxury:

Thanks in advance...

It's clearly these 2 cars are equipped with 321 AMG Sport Package, and they both are sport sedans with the 5-spoke 18" wheels, not luxury as mentioned by the dealer.

Package and Options

The one car has chrome wheel has more options than the one without, but the two cars with just the P1 package, try to find one with P2..

Maddic,

what are the examples of the Options that the car with the Chrome wheel has, that the other one does not have? I cannot tell from the pictures.... you must have much better eyes and know-how :-) I was reading along the description and they look the same to me.

P2 package = Bi-Xenon headlights etc - how to even see them in a picture?

Btw, Chrome wheel car is a big NO NO...


You compare the above two cars center console stack, you can see the differences. The chrome car has the heated seats, and electric blind options.

If the car equipped the P2 package, you can see the push start button on the gear shifter, like this...
