Seating Question

I'm thinking about moving up from my C55 to an E55/E63. Do these cars have a split/fold down rear seat like my current car?

Thanks!

the E55 does not, I think it's an option on the non-AMG cars

That's what I thought. Guess I'll have to see how big that trunk is before I decide....

Thanks for the info!

Hmmmm.....

Sounds like their might be some hope - don't need it all the time, but it's nice to have when you do! Guess I'll have to check with the dealer as to whether I can get one that way.

Thanks for the help!

For model year 2005, the fold down rear seat was not available for US cars. I would think the same would be true for other years as well.
