Is it possible to reflash an E500 sport to have the settings of an E55? I believe the normal 211s with airmatic end where the E55 begins?

My E500 sport 2 is equal to the E55 Comfort ride? Is there a hardware difference between the vehicles? I know many of you here are modding geniuses and figured it would be better recieved

There are part numbers that you could probably get. I don't know about any flash.

Kleemann has a flash for AIRMATIC module, shoot Cory an email and inquire about it

Kleemann claims they can flash the non amg cars to run like an amg car. I personally think that is bs. They told me I could do the same with my E55 to get the spring and shock rates from the Nurburgring suspension W211 E55's but that proved to be total bs.

The shocks have different valving and that is what makes the difference. You can make the air spring stiffer but then you have a stiff spring with a weak shock and that is hardly something you want to have. Can you say pog style honda civic with blown shocks?

I went through a serious hunt trying to find a way to stiffen up my E55 and the only way is to either have custome shocks made with a custom CU for the AirMatic system or to order up the ring suspension from AMG at the going rate of 10k for parts. That car has upgraded bushings, different allignment specs, stiffer air springs, and stiffer shocks. No little CU upgrade will ever allow you to make an E500 drive like an E55.

You can maybe stiffen it up a little bit but that that point you have pressed the existing parts beyond what they were designed to do and you will likely see premature failures due to the added stress. As you try to go lower and stiffer on the existing set-up you quickly lose the ability to control body motions on larger bumps and quick transitions.

Sorry. I wish it could be done for less than 10k but thats not really the case!
