2004 S 4Matic
2004 S Class Information Needed Please



I want to order a 2004 S Class but I have heard that it will have a new trans (7+2) and that the tire pressure monitor will be standard and not an option.

I would like to hear from anyone who might know about these things.

Is the new trans secure to order or will it be troublesome?

Will the tire pressure monitor be the same as the 2003?

Will the appearance of the vehicle be the same as the 2003?

Anything else...............???

Thanks so much.

search the archives - there are a couple threads on this.

the new trans is new. so who knows :-)

there are no trans options - it's either the new 7 or the old 6 in the 4MATIC cars.

my understanding is no visual changes.
