Decent spec W211?

[pb33]

Hi There,
Just had my new W211 320cdi Av estate delivered. Ran a vin check which revealed the following options.

Q. Any "unusual" options?
Q. What does "change of year of model" mean?!
Cheers for the advice.
Paul

Nothing unusual, however a completely standard MB would be. They all appear to have varying amounts of options. Depends on what you want really. Looks like a decent enough spec to me. Hope its good to you

The 486 sport suspension is an extra I believe and required if you have 17'' alloys. I believe the 875 is standard fit on UK cars and you have the a pre wire phone which is pricey.
If you want to check, the current price list is

Just do a search for each option number and you can see whats standard and how much it cost.
