Question on grille MB Logo on coupe

I've seen this on several models throughout the MB model lines. But whats the different between the MB logo thats glossy black vs, the mb logo thats just plain regular? I'm sure its for some feature of a premium package or something..

Here are pictures
With plain logo:


With glossy black logo:

The one that is glossy black is because that vehicle has the Distronic package on it. The logo is actually the radar base for the package.

Thanks! Does anyone know if the Distronic in the GLE Coupe supports the steering pilot? According to the specs on MBUSA.com it does?
