We bought a 1998 E320 wagon a few months ago (used) and the salesman mentioned that it has the Bose stereo. I think the sound system sounds pretty poor, especially if it's a Bose. How can I tell if it is the Bose system? Thanks for any help.

That's a gooder in a wagon. My 98 E300 sedan has the "Bose" emblem on the rear deck speakers. Does you wagon have the emblem on any speaker?

If the wagon came with a sunroof, it's possible that it has Bose via the "E2" package when new. The E2 package was simply sunroof and Bose system combined. Not solid answers but somewhere to start?
