Recent MBenzNL installs?

Anyone recently have Steve mod your 2010 MB E350? What did you get added? I'm especially interested about your experience with adding folding mirrors.

Any contact info for steve? I would be interested in power folding mirrors and rear back up sensors (don't want full blown parktronic).

You'll find him in the Vendor Directory up top, keep us posted on how it works out, MBenzNL.

Any updates on pricing for these feature installs?

I assume these features didn't come as standard with your cars.

In Australia these features are certainly standard in E350 and E500 models with TV and rear view camera standard in E500.

I am sure that even lesser petrols and disels all come with parktronic and folding mirrors are standard with any car that has a memory drivers seat.

MBUSA seems to equip the cars for sale here with fewer standard features and more of the features being available as options. There are differences in the base equipment packages available for Canadian versus US models as well. Additionally, there are wheels available as factory options in the UK, that are not available at all in the US, for example, the 19" wheel option.

I believe the strategy here seems to be to equip the cars with a range of popular, higher demand option packages, and achieve targeted price points through efficiencies of volume and packaging. In the end, we don't have available to us every option, or even many features as standard, but we get a reasonable range of options to select.

It would be nice to have more individualized selections.

We pay a lot more for our cars here than you do so a little more luxury is expected.
