Wanted: E55 - Which Year Did They Introduce DVD Nav On E55?
Is it '04 + or did this start earlier?

Also, did the E55's come with Airmatic Suspension as standard or was this an option?

I'm interested in selling my C55 and once I do that, hoping to get into a used E55. I would love same combo (Brilliant Silver/Black Interior) as my C55 but hoping not to get over $50K - $55K price. Prefer Nav, Electronic Trunk Closer, Parktronic. Any thoughts? I've been keeping my eye on Ebay etc.

Thanks in advance!
Nick

The DVD Navigation started in 2004. I almost purchased a 2003 back when I bought my 04 and then I found out that there wasn't a Nav system for that year. I believe that the airmatic system is standard. Funny that I may be in the market soon for a C55 for a daily driver.

there is one for less 50k...

check classifieds...he is Cali as well...

I just bought mine for $53.5k with extended warrranty, elec trunk, active seats, keyless go, bi-xenons, parktronic, radar and laser jammer.

Only 15kmiles (CPO warranty to 2008 and extended to 2010)

The car is in FL, but it will only run $800 to ship.

There are many deals out there.. and the prices are good.

Really!? I'll PM you so let me know if you're interested in more details on my C55!

Thanks!
Nick

PS Thank you for confirming the DVD question!

actually late production 2003 E55's have COMAND and NAV. It's rare but you can always opt to have Steve install one for you like I did.

Thanks TopGun!

I think I saw that one you bought as I had my eye on that one too (lol!) and you did get a great deal, especially the warranty included with it! Congrats on your new ride!

Depends on the weather
Save your money on the NAV..it's garbage.
I have Nav in my 06'e55 and when ever I actually need the nav I take the Tom-Tom..Far better unit for about 1/4 the cost of MB nav.

I've also noticed that some E55's ('03 - '05) have different center consoles. Some have the top you lift (like my C55 but a little different I guess) and I've seen others that look like the top slides back instead of lifting up. Anyone else know what I'm talking about? Why is this?

I believe the late years 05 and 06 have the sliding center console. I can only speak for the 03 and 04's which have the split doors.

Wow... that is a wholesale price. Must be an 03 right?

Nickerz -- make the switch! As you know, I did... and love it!!!!
