Purchased a 2010 E350 and have some questions

Hello everyone.
Just purchased a 2010 E350 with 140k miles on it. Have a question about this part. Is this a ride height sensor of some sort? Its loose so im just trying to figure out what this does and where its supposed to be. Cant believe this is original merc design. Thanks in advance

Definitely MB design, for years. My brother used to own an SLK55, and I recall buying a dozen and sending them to him overseas. He tracked it, and bad roads as well.

Would you mind sharing your VIN to find the specific part number? Likely your car has the Bixenon intelligent lighting system of that time. That system adjusts the headlamp based on ride height and turn.

I think this is what you are looking at.

Also for part numbers, you can use this EPC webpage : https://webautocats.com/epc/mercedes/1/fg/212087/D02/
