Tell me, did I make a mistake?
In other to get the AMG sports package for my e500, I finally compromised the sports appearance since MB insists I can only order either of the two sports options. I'm still hurting that I will miss out on the dark wood. As for the 5 rib grill ($300) and rear LED $250 a piece), I plan to retrofit when the car gets here. Bad news is that my dealer said that they may not be able to retrofit the LED because of the wiring. How true? Anybody ever retrofitted the LED?
Isn't it really sad that at $70,000 plus, MB cannot throw in some chicken change options? Or, at the very least bundle the appeanrance pkg into the AMG, this is frustrating.

I would have went with the appearance and then upgraded the rims to AMG and added a AMG rear bumper and AMG exhaust tips.. It is easier to do and the inside of your car looks way better...
Just my opionion..

I thought you can get the Appearance and AMG Sports together? I was too surprised to see that the way expensive AMG package didn't include some of the bits of the way cheaper Appearance package. White gauges and LED tails would have been what I would have thought to be included.

I agree, AMG option should also come w/appearance package additions like the dark wood and white guages; If you really NEED all that, you must opt for the e55
