Sport package + Comfort Suspension
I've see a couple of 2012's list with the sport package and comfort suspension.
Does this mean that some cars have the same suspension as the luxury but the spoiler package and wheels of the sport package or is the comfort suspension superceded by the sport package and the car has the sport suspension.
See the following listing for a car
Wheel Package
18" AMG Twin 5-Spoke Alloy Wheel
Sport Sedan / Wagon Package
Comfort Suspension
Sport Bodystyling
Appearance Code
Sport Package

No they aren't [edit: misrepresenting the vehicle]. My car is an example. I have a 2012 E550 with luxury/comfort suspension but with the spoiler and and sport everything else.

The op's listing says "sport sedan" and "sport package" and then "comfort suspension"
How can you have all three of those things in one car

2010 E350 Luxury Sedan, Engine 272 (V6)
All "E" Class cars are "sports sedans", as are several other cars in the category. Guess the manufacturers are trying to distinquish them from family sedans? However, MB further divides the "E" Class into luxury and sports versions. In 2010, you could get a Sports E or a Luxury E, with the corresponding suspensions. Comfort came on the Luxury.
Maybe they changed it and maybe if you got a 550, you could order comfort suspension. Maybe.
To further confuse, I think they were optional sport packages to dress up the cars.

As I understand the comfort suspension is the regular suspension (both steel and airmatic) and the sport suspension is the 10-15mm "lowered" suspension (which is also distinguished by the new grill).

This is the setup of my car. I bought it used and didn't really have a choice.

Comfort and sport are both steel, but sport has a firmer ride and lower ride height.

Code 677 "Comfort Suspension" is listed under the Sport Package option on an invoice I'm looking at now. It's a 2015 currently in inventory. I'll ask what it means.

However, my 2015 E250BT equipped with Sport Package and Sport suspension actually rides and handles better than my previous 2013 E350BT with 'comfort suspension'. Both cars have/had 18" wheels/tires, but my E250BT has Pirelli PZero Neros and the E350BT had Conti ProContacts. This difference in ride and handling might be attributed to tires ?

2008 E320 Bluetec (until 11/14), 2001 SLK 320, 2004 Volvo V70, 1972 MGB, 2013 E350
From Data Card on my 2013 E350 Sport: 677 AVANTGARDE/STANDARD SUSPENSION Yet, on the invoice it is called " Comfort" Suspension which is probably a USA thing. In any case the ride is much firmer with the 18 inch wheels and Contiprocontacs than my 2008 Bluetec with 17's and Tiger Paw Touring tires. I will be looking for a softer tire when the time comes.

The dealer just told me that the 677 code "Comfort Suspension" is a softer suspension than the normal Sport Package would have. I've seen someone also write that that will happen if a "Sport Package" is ordered with 17" wheels.

Yes, it's entirely possible that 2012-2013 came with Sport Package & Comfort suspension. My previous 2013 E350BT was so equipped.
However, my 2015 E250BT equipped with Sport Package and Sport suspension actually rides and handles better than my previous 2013 E350BT with 'comfort suspension'.

This is all very confusing, and I will have to add more confusion to the mix.
My daily driver is a 2015 E400 4Matic sedan. The E400 came "standard" with the sport appearance and suspension packages.
I am currently driving a dealer loaner -- a 2016 E350 4Matic, which has the sport appearance package, including the sport front fascia, the rocker moldings, the trunk spoiler and the 18" AMG wheels, with the same tires I have on the E400 (Conti ProContact).
Although both cars look similar (same body style and trim), the do not ride at all alike. My E400 is lower, rides with a more firm, controlled feel and corners very much flatter than the E350.
From this I can only surmise that the loaner actually does have the sport appearance trim with the luxury suspension. . . or the E400 has different spring rates and shock/bushing firmness to accommodate the extra power.
We have a lot of opinions and anecdotal observations. Does anyone have the build codes and part numbers to clear this up?
