The headliners start to come down from using open windows, where the warm, humid air helps deteriorate the glue and foam. At some point you'll need to get it recovered. Shop around in the meantime for a good upholsterer, unless you want to tackle the job yourself.

If you have the owner's manual and warranty book, it shouold have the data card with all the original option codes. Otherwise, subscribe to EPC net, and you can get it (or ask the dealer).

Sounds like a nice car. I don't think you overpaid. That is about as much as a 210 fetches these days, but seems fair enough.

I believe those are factory wheels that MB used for the final year "special edition" model of the 210.

I think you're right on this, and they're beautiful wheels, and I believe they were only offered on the E320's, not the E430's.

Maybe so, but in my W210's case it was a time-related eventuality that lowered the fabric away from the backing. Since my car was garaged 100% of the time in a temperature controlled environment, and barely driven for 10 years, it was easy to observe happening over time. The glue or bond was destined to fail, given enough time.
