What's the difference between E500 and e500 sport?
 

My question is is the suspension stiffer or not? I'm planning on buying one and i don't want another stiff suspension as my ml55.....and what are the differences?

Re: What's the difference between E500 and e500 sport?
 

The differences are cosmetic. The suspension and running gear are the same.

That's great... i test drove e500 and i loved it, also test drove e55 yes it's very fast but i took my order off because from my opinion if ya want to speed it's better to have e500+bike! but i want to do some crazy job on my 04 500, want to brabus the hell out of it!!! :D

in e500 sport you get xenon light, white gauges, black wood instead of brown! the suspension is the same!!!
Different spoiler also!

I suggest you go with the sport

You also get the Sport Wheels. And I agree it's all cosmetic, but very nice cosmetics!

and LED tail lights!!!! a big plus IMO.

What are the advantages of the LED taillights?

they are supposed to come on quicker...thats it i think, they might be brighter also.

....... and much longer life!! ;)

About $1300US! Sorry, I couldn't resist!

...and the bulbs (LEDs) are NOT individially replacable! On emust replace the entire light assembly.

I believe the entire light assembly must be replaced on all W211's if there's a problem. The non-Sports have xenon gas bulbs per the W211 e-learning series, and the owners manual also says they are non-servicable.
