E320 Wheel Gap

I am looking at an E320 but the front wheel gap seems quite large to me.

Is this a normal issue with the W211's?

Thanks!

Thank you very much for the replies, I test drove it and it rode great. According to Carfax it's a one owner car and when I opened the glovebox I found every single receipt for every piece of work the owner has ever had done to it. (I was shocked as the salesman never mentioned either and both are great selling points in my opinoin)

I decided I really liked it and bought the car last night. I'm currrently on page 27 of the W211 section reading through all the posts to learn as much as I can. I have owned several American muscle/sports cars but decided to get a "beater" car that actually had some style and comfort without breaking the bank which is why I purchased the E320.
