It's the P2 option that gives them that (Keyless Go).

To be honest, having had previous M-B's, I was horrified at how cheap and "un-MB like" the monochromatic handles looked on P1 cars when I was first shopping for this car. M-B's need the elegant chrome at the top IMO. It was admittedly a factor for me when going with P2 (amongst many other factors).

Mine came with the chrome handle inserts. I like that instead, especially since my wife has a tendecy to scratch up the car with her rings. I'm curious to see one with the chrome on top of the door handle.
