I have them in my 4-Matic. My friends love them, but I never use them.

With the rear seat pack (on all post face lift 220's) you got power rear seats with a sliding seat bottom, and back rest, power head rest, heated and cooled seats, and power lumbar support. The 4 place seating package offers multi-counter seats and a broader range of movements for the seats.

Here are pictures of my 500 and my old 430. The images are from car domain. I'll try to find some bigger pictures, but here are the best I can do for now!

Very nice, but what is that on the front grill of the 500?

Thanks Cory...that is the standard glass on the S, no tint.

I will see how it does this summer but we had some very sunny, hot days in October and the glass works very well. I know the tint adds to the visual effect but not sold on having them tinted.

I'm accually working on one like that right now. I just need to find a sunny day to take a picture of the W-124, and then find a good image hosting site that dosen't downsize your pictures like cardomain does.

That "detail" is from a dealer wash on the 9th of January when I had the Hands Free installed. With no rain here the car stays pretty clean...the only area is the fender areas behind each wheel which catches spray from the sprinkler runoffs. And the beauty of a white car not showing the dirt helps...:-) If you look close on the full sized image above, you can see a few grey looking spec which are the wheel spray.

Incredible! I have to use a CCD (California Car Duster) and QD (Quick Detail) between washes to keep mine looking that good.
