Yeah the Alcantra headliner is standard on the E55 AMG.

That's interesting. If it's not a designo, the available interior wood trim is different to the E55 sedan cars - I can see that you haven't got this dark wood which is the only option on an E55 sedan if you don't choose a designo...

Seriously, both color and statment ... E N V Y

Always dreamed about a hot-rod wagon ... I almost bought one, but chicked out ... couldn't stomach using it as a daily driver. I went another route...

Burl walnut is a no charge option on the E55 sedan and I assume wagon too.

I love your new Dragon Wagon! I can't explain it but I've always loved a good power wagon. Do you have any more ext pics?

Maybe I'll see you around when I move to Seattle in July.

I drive a E55T, SLK55 and 65 Mustang Conv.
Our wagon is supposed to hit the water by today at the latest supposedly. It'll be about 25 days after that when she arrives. I have got to say my husband is getting VERY impatient and I am only slightly less!

thanks guys and gal...

I would have never thought that I'd be driving a wagon as my daily either..but any doubt goes right out the window when I step on the pedal...look around at my interior...let the seats massage my back..while the slightly decent HK sound system bumps in my ear. It's like a first class cabin inside with room for plenty of tires, dogs, girls, whatever I need to transport that day.

And yes, the pedals did come with the car, but I do have two complaints...better updated door pins would be nice and I don't have an aux input in my glove box?!

I'm not sure if you were replying to what I said ... but what I meant by that if so was I can't stomach putting all the miles on it 'cus I'd want it to last forever ... I love the look of wagons ... wish my C43 was a wagon

btw, my other route I eluded to was I'm buying a 5.5L engine from a 2001 E55 ...and buying a complete speedybenz suspension ... and installing an LSD. ...and getting more serious about trying to find someone who can make me a custom bellhousing or adapter plate to mate the 113 engine to a ZF tranni or other I figure if my car's depreciated to such ridiculously low level, I might as well spend about 1/4 to 1/2 of what I would on a new car, and have something well maybe not better, but almost as rad. ...wish I had those seats too tho & the space of a wagon!

Here she is...The UberWagon!!

That wagon looks awesome.

There is a company in California selling a C60 Brabus wagon. It's basically the same looks as the C43 wagons that were only available in Europe. So, think of your C43 in a wagon version.

That's odd. You have Comand, right?

silversurfer,

I will check and see if our E55 wagon has the aux input in the glove box.

Congrats! It is a great car, the ultimate sleeper!
