Pump up quickly while cornering and then deflate? And also does the massage function work. I ask as so many E55s now suffer from no-op Dynamic seats as the bladders are plastic and now at 20-years old they are failing from the surge pressure when they inflate and then deflate. Compounded by the fact that MB no longer makes replacement parts to rebuild / maintain these seats.\r\n\r\n2) Is the Keyless Go working? I see the keys in the ignition.\r\n\r\n3) I would have re-installed OEM Airmatic struts. This suspension is unique to the E55 and one of the neat features of this iconic model especially with the height adjustable button by the gear lever. They are still available from MB brand new at $800 per corner for the front (part no: 211-320-53-38).
