2004 E-500

I ordered my 2004 E-500 4-Matic today , however I won't see the car until November . After owning two Black E-320's I decided it was time for a color change so I went for Brilliant Silver w/Ash Interior. The option package numbers have changed for 2004. I ordered the following:

Pkg#
320 HK Sound System, CD Changer
322 Appearance Package (formally Sports Package)
323 Heated Seats, Heated Steering Wheel
440 Sun Roof
289 Wood Steering Wheel

Since there is a waiting list for the 4-Matics the best I could do was get $500 off the msrp (To be determined).

Thanks to all those who gave me input which helped me make my decision.

The waiting game begins!

PS

I am assuming the car will come with the new 7-speed transmission.

Do you know what the "Appearance Package" includes? Also what is the cost of this option?

It is supposed to include everything that the current sport package offers. My dealer didn't have pricing for the new packages, but assume they will be comparable to the current "E" packages.

I wonder what it will say on the front quarter panel instead of "Sport"?

I think that is just the same as the Airmatic DC suspension that is standard on the E500 base, or comes with the current Sport Package on an E320.

What is 401 AVS

"Active Ventilated Seats/Front
Inside each seat are ten miniature fans which draw cooling air from underneath the seat through perforations in the leather seating surface. Three stages of cooling help to keep you more comfortable on warm days. Includes heating feature."

nyca: You know, that is the way that it seems, since I did not see the option anywhere, but that does not make any sense to me.

And I think that the semi-active suspension is the Airmatic.

I ordered the sunroof only (#440 for 2004 models). I didn't want the shades and blinds that come with the sunroof package for 2004.

I can't believe there is no AMG Sport option for 2004. What is Mercedes thinking? This option is offered all over the world except here .
