Is your E in comfort mode? Mine sits like the cls in sport. Just curious as to if different people cars may have variations in ride height. Nice pics BTW and that black is shining!! Look at them doors!!

Yessir!! Thank you for fulfilling my request!!

Love the side by side pics. Love the pics of the lines in closeup between the two. From those angles you can clearly tell how closely related they are in terms of sheetmetal carving and sculpting.

oh, noooo ! i've never touched the airmatic buttons and i kind of remember i've read it from the manual stating the car will rise in sport mode, not lower. i mean the suspension sport mode, not the driving sport mode.

haha, I do really enjoy the W212 more now that I have all that brute power with the amg......you have to admit, there are not TOO many cars that come with 550/590 you know?

yeah, I know what you mean, I thought it does go a tad lower in sport mode versus comfort. I thought it would rise on comfort for that floatier ride?

i've finally tried the sport mode (suspension) and you are right, hype, it lowered! i was just sitting inside the car and pressed the button. didn't drive w/that mode so still not sure how the ride is compare to comfort.
