Was this option available to be purchased on an E55? I know it was available on the S-series. I've seen some sales ads that show Drive Dynamic Seats on the E55, but can't find anything to confirm that from the manufacturer.
If I'm correct, these are the seats that have the active inflating bolsters while driving.

Yes, I've got an '03 with them. I think they were eliminated starting with the 63's.

MB_Forever

Actually, I think they were eliminated starting 2006 E55s and up

yea i got that on my 03 too.. i like it when the sides get inflatted and it wraps you like a bucket seat.. took me a longtime to figure out what the buttons do and how it work

Thanks Guys, I appreciate the input.

Fazed out on the US E63s. My '06 is one of the last made and it has them. I absolutely love them. Honestly, the main reason I traded in the '05.

tscales

My 05 has them and I love them. Why wouldn't the 63 have them?

lkirchner

My wife's '06 E55 has them.

The option wasn't available at all in Canada on the W211 E-series, only the S-series.
The '04 I purchased (sight unseen ) from Chicago is supposed to have it. The salesperson said so, but it's not a Benz dealer, so I'm not too sure he knows what he's talking about.
I had only seen one other ad touting that option, so I wasn't sure if the US had different options or if it was a typo in the ad on Dynamic Seats. Apparently not! Nice to know I don't think I'm getting screwed.
She's waiting for me, I just need to coordinate time to get there and drive home.
And thanks for the cheap prices down there guys!!

Why did they eliminate these as an option on the 63? I love mine and use them often. Aren't they still available on the 65's?

Ask your sales person to take a picture of the buttons and send it to you.... you'll know right away if the car you're buying has it or not (In case you don't know, dynamic seats should have a word "Dynamic" on one of the buttons).

Thanks for the cheap prices???? I hate when CAN$1 > US$1

IMO,I dont care for the seats.Not sure why MB didnt offer them in the 63's though?

inocnt1

He says there is only a pulse button, but when he's driven the car, a dynamic light flashes on the dashboard.

We added FULL Option seats to the 2006 W211 With heat/Ventilation/Multicontour/Massage/Drive dynamic and they are One of My Favorite mods..other than Distronic


Steve @ MBENZNL.com has several sets...If Interested in a Pair I Would contact him...

zoink

If no "DYNAMIC" word on one of the buttons, then they ain't dynamic seats.... sorry.

Plus, what is dynamic light flashes on the dashboard? ESP?

Mark Cummins:
Is your W211 non-AMG one and Steve fitted AMG seats in it? If so, how much if you don't mind me asking?

One of the things I love my E55 is the seats..... bought a 535 couple months ago and both wife and I have been complaining about lack of support from the seats even though they're sport seats

So if I find a W211 E-class wagon (been browsing for a E55/63 wagon but it seems not many out there for sale ), I may swap the 535 while the price is still good.

zoink

Wow... what a list. Is it a wagon? If so, consider selling her?

365v

Dynamic seats I like would reorder. However the AC cooling is worthless.

Hardrivr

My '04 has them, and I like the cooling seats part too!

III II I I AMG

your seats can cool??? whaaaat.. mine got heated seats, it can make me warm but definitely cant cool me off(i use it as a prank for passengers).. is that a separate option, or cooling and heating is the same option and i just dont know how to do it

zoink

It's a separate option but uses the same button as heated seat.

III II I I AMG

aw dam.. id rather that over heated ones anyday.. florida sun

waxking1

This is one option I wouldn't miss. The cooling seats do not cool in the sense of blowing cold air(unless the air in the cabin is already cold). I've never been sure I can even tell the difference when they are on. It blows cabin air through the holes in the seat. The blue lights on the button make you feel cooler.

III II I I AMG

ahhh i see.. didnt miss much then.. same for the heated seats.. winter mornings here.. im freezing my **** off getting in the car in the morning, by the time im warmed up, then the seats are finally getting hotter, so useless, but again like you said, the red lines of lights makes it seem warmer

CWW

Ya, there is definitely a difference between "real" a/c seats and what mercedes offers.

Take the lincoln navigator for example. My father drives one of those, and the seats actually have a cooling line run to them from the compressor and will (literally) freeze your butt off. You definitely notice it.

Mercedes "a/c seats", by comparison, are just a couple of fans inside the seat bottom that blow hot air from the floorboards up through the seat bottom. Personally, I think even calling them "cooled" seats is borderline false advertising.
