Excellent interior pics and info yet again from Torsten!

One thing I notice that is very very odd...

The heater control panel on the centre dash.
Its different in different pics!!!!!!!

On some interior pics I've seen its 4 separate rotary type dials

and on others, including one close up, its two rotary dials with buttons and an LED type display!!!

I don't think MB are going to provide two different varieties. It doesn't make sense from an 'economies of scale' point of view!
