Actually in S it changes the shift points a little and also starts in first gear instead of 2nd as in C. Strange though all my previous MB E Classes defaulted to S and the W212 defaults to C on start up.

Gas mileage is pretty much the same from what i've seen.

That being said, I have to say they did an UNBELIEVABLE job setting up the program on this tranny. Hit a corner hard and jab the throttle and before you know it the car is screaming, it begs you to push it harder. It takes good minute or two after you beat on it and relax before the car finally accepts it and goes back to normal shifting (I really think the car feels let down

In the 550 coupe, all of the above happens but it also stiffens the suspension. The 350 Coupe is a transmission only change. They have some fancy equation that describes the difference between comfort and sport suspension. From the driver's seat it feels stiffer with less rebound. Does the same apply to the sedans?

I actually read in the manual that you should not switch while driving. They did put it there so I not sure what the consequences would be?
