One thing - does your car have air suspension all round?
yes it does. i can travel if it will have a positive outcome :D

also i assume you can also see if there are any issues with the ads as im sure still even after swapping to the smaller wheels and non runflats that the ride isnt as good as it should be (dealer always said everything is fine but im not sure they ever really looked)

Bit puzzled by this if your car has full airmatic suspension you will have a switch on the centre console to set the car to comfort or sport (which lowers the car 25mm) are you sure you have full air suspension and not just the rear height levelling airbags?

You're welcome to come down and see if we can set it on Star but I'm not guaranteeing anything!

I'm no expert on Star but was able to do my R class with no issue.

Have a look at the S213 E43 estate sport setting on that is visibly 25mm lower but there may be a difference in view of the fact that your set-up is semi-active whatever that means
