Great premium package by mollymax

My E-320 CDI 2005 premium package came with heated and ventilated dynamic seats with "massage". On a recent trip to Mesa, Az. averaged 35.3 MPG city and hi-way driving. Very happy with my Mercedes dealer.

I'm not in the market for a E350 but that doesn't seem right for a brand new vehicle.

Pricing by suntan1

Well, I was offered two packages by Flagship of Boston; both at a few hundred dollars below invoice price (and slightly more than four thousand, I believe, below MSRP). Both are brand new 2006 E350 RWD (not AWD). The differences between the two packages were that one was in Brilliant Silver and had the Drive Dynamic Seats but had just leather inserts and a regular leather steering wheel while the other was in Iridium Silver and had Full Leather (as opposed to just leather inserts) and the Wood and Leather Wheel option but only had the regular seats (non-Drive Dynamic). We went with the second option even though they were the same price because my wife preferred the full-leather option and found the Drive Dynamic seats odd (and this car is essentially for her).
 
We'll be taking delivery of our car this week, and I'll be sure to update the forum on our experiences with our new E350.
 
Cheers!

What are Drive Dynamic Seats? Are they like "sport seats" like some cars have in sport packages?

Hi, kennynmd! Mollymax said above that she has them on her CDI so she may be able to describe them better. From what I understand (at least from the salesman), the side bolsters of the seats fill with air and bolster up during sharp turns so that you are kept in place. There is also supposed to be some sort of massage function, but I didn't quite understand that, honestly. Again, maybe mollymax is in a better position to elaborate further.
 
I just got so confused when the salesperson showed me two cars with two premium packages --- one corresponding to the website and one to the brochure --- that I finally decided (wisely!) to let my wife make the decision!
 
Cheers!

Is the names of my female cat and Max my male cat.............I'm a male. Anyway you are right about the bolster's filling up with air and holding you in the seats during turning maneuvers. Wish my Z06 Corvette had that option. The massage function is pretty neat..........my wife likes that on her back. The ventilated seats are "COOL". Another nice option is the 6 disk CD player that you load from the dash. The GPS is not as good as the Magellion Roadmate 700 (understatement).

Deepest apologies, mollymax! My bad!
 
Hmmm....now you're really making me wonder if we shouldn't have gone with the DD seats rather than the leather upholstery and wood steering wheel....sigh.

When I used the cats names I didn't think it too much about it, but now I guess I should have. In the long run the DD seats could be a liability if the air bags or air pump fail. Enjoy your leather seats ..............and the wood steering wheel looks real rich.
