I'm currently obsessing about e-class coupes and have found one that looks to have the desired spec- 2016 e£50d with memory seats, pano roof etc.
The advert says it has "Agility Control Sports Suspension with Adaptive Damping System" - how is this controlled or changed from "comfort" to "sport" (and vice versa)? is it in the command system? on others I've seen there is another button to the right for suspension modes.

This is the command console from the advert:


thanks

You need to clarify which model it is, as there wasn't a W212 coupé and (late) 2016 was the changeover year to the W213 which did have a coupé. The previous E-Class coupé (2009-2016) was a C207.

IF it's a C207, then they had 'Agility Control Suspension', which included Adaptive Damping System (no switch, adapts automatically) as standard. Sports models and all V6s had Agility Sports Suspension with parameter steering. Separate switch for eco/sport gearbox.

Std on 500 models and optional on Sport models was 'Dynamic Handling, with sport mode', which did have a switch on the dash. Switch changes to 'sportier suspension, throttle response and shift pattern' in one hit.
thanks -this answers my question perfectly!
