Since the last batch of spy shots of the new CLK and E-Class Wagon, there's not much new to see on the outside. But our intrepid spy photographer got up close and managed shots of the interior revealing a few interesting details. Based on the new C-Class, the CLK's center instrument panel gets a built-in navigation monitor instead of the flip-up unit in the C-Class. However, the big surprise is that the gear shift lever on the E-Class, seen with a shining chrome button on the end, gets moved from the traditional location of being in the center console to the right side of the steering column. Ironic since BMW is reportedly moving their gear shift lever back down to the center console in the next gen BMW 7-Series.
