I'm glad to hear you like it so much. I'm looking forward to mine too. Let me know if you have any other comments about the pano roof.

I bet it can on the W211, on the R230, you can certainly switch between miles and kilometers and the needle will drop or raise accordingly!

Thx, the total MSRP was $70K, out the door with taxes,100,000 mile warranty, etc.. was $80K. Ya we had the dealer detail the day before yesterday and picked it up yesterday morning. The shine was awesome when we picked it up. Started to pick up some dust through some construction area so think i might need to give it a wash soon hehe. Hey I was wondering did you already get your DVD nav installed cuz the dealer told us that it wont be available until January but that since we got ours early w/o the option available we can have them install it in January. Thx.

Will do Callaway. I'll try to do it the same day it arrives. Hopefully I'll have a delivery date tomorrow when I call my dealer.

Well I just spoke to my dealer. My car is still in port in Germany
It has been assigned to a ship. The next ship goes out tomorrow (10/17) but he doesn't know if it will be on that one or not. There is another ship on the 21st and 24th of October.

Dock date here will be 10/28, 11/2 or 11/6 or sooner depending on what ship the car is on. It will take a week or so for the dealer to get it once it arrives in port.

So it may be possible to get it by the end of October but it looks more like the beginning of November now

Not quick enough! I was hoping to get it next week and it's still in Germany. Oh well what are you going to do?

E320 4-zone climate control pics

Does anyone know if you order an E320 with a 4-zone climate control system, that you get the digital system that is standard in the E500 for the front passengers and not the usual analog 2-degree increment dials that come standard with the E320. Anyone have pics of this on a E320?

You don't need another picture. If you order the 4-zone system, called thermotronic, on a 320 you will get the exact same thing that comes standard on the 500. For $550 I think it is quite a deal as it upgrades your entire system to digital, adds the sun sensors, makes it four zone, gives the rear passengers their own controls and adds two rear vents, each in the back of the c-pillar. Clever how they route the air for those vents through the front doors.
