E320 vs E500 re: Options
From what I understand, the E500 will come with Thermotronic (4 zone independant climate control) and the Air Suspension System standard. Any other features? ie. nappa leather? etc?
The E320 will have the above features only as options.
Thanks, Sean:p

Sean and everyone, these are the differences in spec between E 320 and E 500 and between them and other models in Germany:
1. E 320 has 225/55 R 16 tyres mounted on 7,5 J x 16 rims. E 500 has 245/45 R 17 tyres mounted on 8 J x 17 rims.
2. Only E 500's standard line is Elegance and you have to pay some money for Avantgarde.
The rest of the models are Classic as standard and you have to pay for both Elegance and Avantgarde finish.
3. Only E 500 has Airmatic DC fitted as standard.
4. Only E 320 & E 500 have automatics as standard (most likely will be different in the USA?)
5. Only E 500 has anti-glare mirror (on the driver's side) as standard.
6. Only E 500 has Thermotronic fitted as standard.
7. Only E 320 & E 500 have bigger fuel tanks as standard (80 l vs 60 l).
8. Only E 320 & E 500 have Parameter steering as standard.
Again, that is Germany spec from www.mercedes-benz.de and I am sure some things for the USA will be definitely different.
