It was supposedly several thousand dollars worth of stuff for $1295 for the 320s and 300s and $495 on the 420s. It was only available on the sedans, not on the coupes. Of course today the cell phones are worthless and CD players are broken. I like the six hole wheels and personally think they are desirable cars.

Some of the items listed on the Special Edition package are optioned on virtually all W124's anyway, like power steering column and memory drivers seat.
I've also seen bona fide Special Edition E320 and E420's also with the 8 hole wheels with my own eyes. Strange.
I've only seen one E320 special edition with the 6 hole wheels at a GTG several months ago. They are the same wheels, I think, that were used again on the 1997 W210 E420.
Regular 400E's / E420's from 1992-1994 already got the burl walnut wood.
What does make the package very worthwhile to me on the E320 is the Burl Walnut wood, which IMHO is much more attractive than the Zebrano.
