Dam right! We are regretting not ticking the xenon option for our e-class. The standard lights does an above average job, but it just isn't enough.

I'm not convinced by the styling. There is way too much 'meat' above and around the rear wheel arch and the prominent side streaks gives the car an overly exaggerated squat stance.

Makes the BMW 5 series look good........................

Rear headrests look to possibly be retractable...

I for one am disappointed they've ditched the SBC. They should've at least tried to fix/improve it instead of ditching it. Yes it was problematic, but that's the case with all new technology. You learn from your mistakes and try your best to iron out all bugs, not just give up.

Knowing MB, I know they've got something up their sleeves to replace it, otherwise it's a step backward for Mercedes-Benz.

The oval exhausts are for the 350's and the rectangular are the 550's.

The price MB Australia has been charging for Xenons is LUDICROUS (up to $4500!!!) And you know, apparently they only cost around $300 more to manufacture and install.

To install Bi-xenon is much more expensive than getting it pre-installed,for some reason i don't know why it's the same thing!

Must be wiring and so forth. But imagine...to fit your car with Xenons is costing MB $300 more and then they charge you $4000 more for it! And yet it is standard equipment on every single lexus!
