What are some things you never see a lot or rare on W221s? It could be colors, options, wheels, etc.

I do not see much green W221s. I have never seen these rims too.

Big enough to fit two cans of 134a ac refrigerant. I noticed on my 07 that in the trunk there is a grey hook on the left side. Then there was a second hook mounting place on the top right (it had one black cover over a hole and the other hole was not covered). Is that supposed to have another hook?

You should have two, at least our 221 of the same age has. Perhaps the car was facelifted. Like above, they took it away from the facelift models. If I remember right, on the facelift there is one hook at the centre of the trunk.

Found the video (love the smug business guy demonstrating the features):


Pretty neat! Anyone know how much option is? It seems to be a replacement of the back of the front seats.
