Welcome to the MB Forum.

Thank you for great E-Class clips from Italian Riviera.

I like the VARIO-roof a lot.

The vario roof certainly looks nice! in fact the whole car looks awesome!

just one question. at the end of the first video(silver car), the driver pressed a button below the shifting guage. what is it? its shaped like a piston?

thx

I think that is the adjustment for the air suspension

is it to adjust the height? or how firm/soft the ride is?

All of them are nice. After seeing that video I'm thinking about my 1999 E55, I haven't had it for long, it is time to go for the 2003 E430?

He hit it twice!

I think it was to close the vario-roof, and the mesh/screen. I think, that there is an independent mesh/screen for filtering light below the vario-roof.

A very neat feature. I wonder how much this Vario-Roof costs and how much additional kg??

Porsche charges for the new Targa Roof US $7,300. It adds 150 kg of weight!

I think it is the suspension setting button (there are two setting available).

I believe it is to lower the suspension and it also has the effect of firming the suspension thus making it sportier

awesome!

but how much does it lower it? obviously it won't be any lowrider, but similar to AMG's height?

It is the airmatic DC function. On WWW.mbspy.com under E-class chassis it describes in detail how it works.

MBspy said that it would drop the car 15mm and raise it 2.5mm from normal height.

but that is only at 80km/h and above at which it drops it 15mm. can you press a button to drop the car too? or do you have to do 80km/h in order to lower the ride height?

thanks!

Acutally, according to they article, you can drop the height by 15mm each time you select a sport mode.
