Not sure about an E 320, but my S 500 L starts in 3rd gear when in W mode. Maybe V8s start in 3rd and L/V6s start in 2nd (??)

What I have been told at the dealer is that is better to leave the transmission in S unless you are really driving in severe winter conditions (for which the W mode was created for).

Anyway, here in the tropics we never have an opportunity to use the W mode.
