E55 AMG
Suspension Settings

Hey all, just trying to get some feedback from people driving the E55 in sport II mode. It seems whenever I switch into sport mode my car is just as soft as in comfort mode. Is that just how it is or should there be a significant difference in ride? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

You should definitely notice a difference...I'm not the expert but perhaps it might be a sign of the air suspension beginning to go...?

How many service records do you have for the car? Could be that the struts were replaced with arnott new units which do not have the active dampening, therefore the comfort/s1/s2 toggles would do nothing. I think. I’m not sure

There definitely should be a noticeable difference, that you can feel from the seat of your pants. I can feel the difference especially going over bumps.
Does your suspension rise, to clear speed bumps when the button is pressed? Also with the different suspension settings the cars ride height is adjusted accordingly.
