Why aren't you getting the Distronic? That's one of the coolest features to have. I love that feature in use when I go on long road trips, not to mention that the Limiter is removed.

Yes, my W211 has it all. It's the only ONE E500 in USA that has all Original Mercedes Factory Options & All options are reported in Mercedes VMI.

Don't forget to see all the pictures that I have posted on BenzWorld.
