New ML350 just ordered!

Just placed an order for a new ML350 for my wife, I'll "inherit" her X5 for a few months. We loaded it up with options: 4Matic, Premium, Lighting, Sport plus 1, panoramic roof, running boards, multi-contour seats, ventilated seats, HK sound, Drivers Assist, Parking package, keyless go, hitch, etc. We chose Obsidian Black w/ black leather, anthracite poplar trim, and special ordered a black headliner (she likes black!). A couple of quick questions from a new poster:

Do the 20" wheels come with summer tires or all-seasons? Her X5 came with 20" summer tires! Even here in NC it gets cold enough to make summer tires silly.

Do the illuminated running boards come as part of a package (lighting, premium, etc) or is the only way to get them via the single option?

The heated/cooled cupholders are pretty cheap - worth it? I read they don't work all that great.

Thanks - looking forward to learning and offering more on this site.

The 20's come with all season Continental's. Illuminate running boards are a stand alone option, and the heats and cooled cup holders are definitely worth it.

Hey, thanks so much for such a quick and easy answer! Glad to hear about the all-season Conti's. Time to make a quick order change though.

Well, as long as they're all seasons I'm happy.
