Curving headlight? I don't have one?

I bought 04 E500. I checked that the production date is 12/03 and it has nanopaint too. I purchased premium + apperance package. According to MB websites, it should have curving headlight. Mine doesn't have one. Anyone here has same thing?

Second, C/S + Airmatic Dumping System.
A bit confused here. What is gonna happen if I choose "C mode" and put Sport II? Will the car in sport mode or comfort mode?

How do I make the car going down as low as possible? S Mode + Sport II? I think it's pretty neat and looks sporty.

i believe the swivel headlights are delyaed for right now. the C/S thing, is that the button to the left of the shifter...if it is, C should always be on unless its rainy outside, then put it to S, that means the car will start out in second gear, instead of first, you can test this by starting your car, putting it to S, and put it into drive, hold the brake, and push the lever all the way to the left, and the gear should only go down to 2, not 1. i dont believe putting it into sport mode lowers your car, but your car changed its height every 15 minz i believe, so if you are at a stoplight, you might notice it going up or down.

I believe you ment to say the car should always be in S mode. C mode is for icy and rainy road conditons.

konigstiger,

Thanks for the info - I have looked at that tag many times and not noticed the date.

How many places is the W211 built? Your tag says "Passenger Car Made in Germany" while mine says "Passenger Car Made in Austria".
