The change has an "evolutionary" rather than "revolutionary" look. IMHO the appearance is so very closely related to the current W210 that I will not be disappointed and wished I had waited for the W211 when I buy a 2002 E55. The W211 will be in dealer showrooms this fall. That is only about 8 months from now.
Anyone want to buy a E430?:
