CLS armrest in E-Class?
I did a quick search on the forum and didn't see this mentioned.
Has anyone tried replacing the E-class armrest (wooden rollup) with the CLS armrest?
The W210? has a double armrest, but doesn't have the cupholders as on the CLS.
Thoughts? Something that can be retrofit? (Steve@mbenznl?)

Good idea if it works. This is one part of the E that I don't like. I find that there is no comfortable place to rest my right elbow..... especially when the roll up is open, but not much better when closed...... I like to lean to the right when I drive and rest my arm/elbow on the center armrest. Cannot really do it in the E.

It can be done on the W211 You use a Early USA or EURO W211 console
Did my 2006 W211 as I did not care for the roll type door either
Another Mod thanks to MBENZNL.com

I believe from 2003-2004, the W211 had the butterfly door center console. In 2005, MB switched to the tambour door. It should be an easy swap, just contact Steve@MBenzNL.

Armrest console
Please note that the CLS armrest is NOT the same as the one from "2003-2004, the W211 had the butterfly door center console." I believe the old 03 armrest has flimsy foldout cupholders. (would someone pls confirm?)
If you'll notice that the CLS armrest has cupholders mounted outside the double center console. (yes, I like cupholders)

Agreed on the styling of dash. Not extremely attractive, but probably limited due to E-class chassis.
Is the 03 "funky cup holder contraption thing" stable? I've read that it doesn't work well.
Also, does the 03 armrest fit the bluetooth puck? I also read that the puck is too large for compartment of 03 armrest.. Am I mistaken?
Thanks
