Options identical? When is build dates. If late '05 (i.e. built in 05) and early '06 (i.e. built in '05), then go for the "cleaner" one. If the '06 is built in '06, then that's too easy. Also, as much as I like to mod cars, I NEVER buy a modded car. I just imagine lots of redlines vs potential normal use.

I bought my car modded from a forum member and not only was it extra clean when it arrived, but I haven't had any problems with it.

I know, I was just saying that modded cars aren't all bad and risky. You just have to be cautious and find the right one.

The only way I would buy a modded car is if I knew the owner and what, if any, problems were on that car.

Yes, and the later '06s have a different suspension setup. MB calls it something different. I think the build date for that is march '06 on.

To each his own. It is basically all the parts off the CLS. They slowly filteredinto the E class. Look up parts for the E55 and you will see that it will say certain ones are NOT for the '06. I forgot what name they gave the ssyetm. i'll look it up.

Not saying a modded car is worse, but personally, I like to start fresh and mod the car myself.

If you look in the W220 area, there is a thread about the Teleaid system going digital part way through 05.

I just renewed my Teleaid yesterday, and the guy said that part way through 05 they fazed in the digital system. Potentially, if you have the analog system, you will have to upgrade to the digital setup ($1500.00)!!

I have never used the Teleaid, but there are some possibly useful features.
