This is mostly it.

Add side marker lights, different door lock pins, right side mirror with message.

Bumpers are the same these days.

Europeans have choice of more "stripped" versions than Americans and at the same time the accessory catalog is "stripped" for Americans. All kinds of cargo management options for wagon owners, for example.

Americans cannot get trailer hitch option unless they buy an Alabama car--which aren't part of European delivery, obviously. (I doubt this will continue the case when the C-class becomes an Alabama car ... trailer hitches, that is.)

Other countries obviously get more engine options, including both smaller and larger (diesels).

There is no SAT radio anywhere but North America.

Believe it or not, the tires fitted to USA-market diesel E-class really aren't available anywhere but USA. Michelin MXV4+ The rest of the world doesn't compromise handling in favor of the holy grail of 40K tire mileage.

Yes, all those 1970s 450SL owners that replaced original equipment Michelin XWX V-rated tires with Sears Roadhandlers convinced MBUSA to give up fitting performance tires for USA market--this is reason for speed limiter. AMGs are the exception, of course.
