I'm looking for an E55, but had some questions on the available options. The one that i'm aware of are xenon, navi, keyless go, pano, heated/ac seats, dynamic seats, 6cd changer. What others am I missing? What is dymanic seats? Is that the pulse/massage seats? Are there options that are found on all the cars, like xenon? Some sellers I talk to dont even know what options the car has. Thanks in advance.

Options and Standard features depend upon the model years as some things changed..

Drive Dynamic seats are the massage ones... they also had an option for Active Ventilated seats (cool/heat) too. The cooling is not from the AC, but a fan that draws air trhough the seat and hence "cools". Actually it works pretty good.

You've got the major ones... for 04 model options there's

Active bi-xenon (actively turns)
Rear window Blind
Rear door blinds
Distronic
Parktronic
Handsfree phone (and extra option for voice control)
Solar panel
Keyless go
Panaramic roof
6 CD changer
Tire pressure monitoring (TPMS)
Command (nav) system
Electric trunk closer

Burr Walnut trim was also an option (in place of the standard Birds Eye Maple).

I'm just missing the Distronic,TPMS and solar panel on mine.

05 added Sirius radio and dropped the solar panel
03 had fixed xenon option (not active), not sure the NAV was available (CD/Radio only?)
06 (i think) dropped the Drive Dynamic seats (Active Vented was available) and Side rear blinds

I'm probably not 100 correct though...

Thanks d bst. It was kind of disheartening with 40+ view and no response.

I think d bst have mentioned most of it...

Just two last things that he didn't mention

Blue/merlot insert --> two-tone seats

Designo package... special exterior & interior color. There are 2:
- Designo espresso: Rich dark brown exterior w/ sand napa leather
- Designo graphite: A little dark but not that dark grey color (I think between flint grey and platinum grey) w/ graphite (dark grey - close to black) napa leather.

As for drive dynamic seats (a must-have for me ) are removed starting from E63 (so '07). '06 still has it... TPMS on '06 may be different... instead of showing actual psi, it just has color coding ('06 owners, correct me if I'm wrong).

One thing that's not an option but may be worth to consider is most 05's and up have upgraded steering rack from CLS... so the car feels tighter. And 05's and up also have a number of cosmetic changes like taillights, center grids on the dash, 200mph speedo, metal pedals, center consoles, etc.).
