Will ABC be available on W212 E63?
I noticed with amazement that the new S550 does not come with ABC as standard equipment. Airmatic is the standard suspension on the S class. ABC is a $4k add. Does anyone know if MB plans on having ABC an option on the W212 E550/63? If it's not available from the factory I wonder if it could be retrofitted from the 2006 S600 ABC to the E55. This might be the long awaited improvement needed for the W211 E55 mediocre suspension.

ABC will not be offered on any E-Class models. As far as the S goes, ABC has always been an option on all V8-non AMG models.

W212 E63 Suspension
Has anyone heard any more about the new suspension variants for the W212? I'll switch to a CL63 if the new E doesn't have a suspension as good as the W210.

Not to beat a dead horse,
I am curious, has anyone heard anything about the W212 air suspension? Does it have coil springs in the rear? or airbags all around? I realize ABC is not available but what improvements have been made from the W211?

Impossible... or very difficult to do.

The only such retrofit I've seen was when Brabus installed ABC into their CLS Rocket.
