W210 E55 model year differences?
Is there a good FAQ somewhere that explains the differences in w210 E55 model years and options? I'm trying to figure out weather to buy a 1999 Model or hold out for a later 2000-2002.
Thanks,
Juan Bruce

Biggest differences are the body work change from 2000 on. Other differences are minor. Most came pretty loaded. IMO the later body work is much better looking.

2024 GLE63s / 2016 GLE63s (traded) / 2016 E63s / 2002 E55
I would recommend the 2000+ E55. It has the shiftable 5-speed tranny, Nav option, steering wheel controls. The 2000+ have the multi-contour seats and none of the 1999 models did even thought the brouchure listed it as an option. Only 4 colors for 1999 - Black, Silver, White and Obsidian Black.
