There is even less traction there because the car is hanging upside down

I never noticed much difference in my 1999. (320 4matic wagon)
I think it's supposed to short shift and limit available power at part 
throttle.
When I'd do my slide recovery practice in a snowy parking lot, I could 
put it sideways with a jab of throttle in either transmission mode.


I think what happened in my case was my conservative driving style 
taught the TCM (via adaptive learning) to behave in S like MBZ 
programmed it to behave in W.

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

What is the "W/S" switch by the gear lever?

Some wear/tear but not terrible. Car phone from 1999 listed as a "pro"

Still somewhat pricy?
