Adaptive Damping System on W210?

some 1999 E55 sellers in Germany say it has ADS

Was it an option? Std? Since when?

Comfort should be much better then on bad roads compared to M5

I will buy a car soon and im thinking about M5, S8, S430, E55, 540 etc but we have really ****ty roads and i dont want comfort to suffer much

E55 AMG
The adjustable suspension was not an option for US model E55's. However, I've read it was an option for the W210 E55 in Europe, I think there were two modes.

If you want comfort, the E55 is a better pick over the M5 which has a slightly stiffer setup. But the ride is harsher compared to an S430 or 540. I've driven all of the above, but don't know how it compares to the S8.

Look the price of the car!

Under Weitere Informationen it says to have Niveauregul+ADS!!

This is vehicle hight adjustment with ADS- an option in EU again??

This seems like a very attractive car for me!
