E350 4-matic
Newbie question...

As I said in my other post, I just bought a 2014 E350 4-matic Sport...
Question: what are the differences vs driving in regular mode vs sport mode? When I press the button on Sport mode (S), does it just change the transmission shift points or does it also sharpen the suspension and/or steering? Thanks in advance....

Another question.... The date of manufacture on my door says 07/14. My car is a 2014 model. Is that possible? I'm surprised they weren't already building 2015's already...

Just the transmission shift points, no suspension or steering changes.

I've seen late dates like that for other years while shopping used cars. July 2011 is the latest I say for a 2011 model.
