That's just real neat! A camper, or a Mother In Law wing, or, for kids to rest, or a cat litter box back there, or, whatever! Reminds me of the Business Man's Coupe two-door built in the early '40s. They could double as overnight billeting for the road-weary traveler on business, vacation, or even a little hanky-panky! Heh! ;) I really like how the passenger-side front bucket seat is able to be laid flat forward! |
Not sure front seat can be folded flat in US 2005-6 versions of the W211.

Bi-Xenon active headlights video
US vehicles do not have the fog light cornering feature I believe but video shows what Merceds/Hella were thinking about....

The '05 my friend bought has cornering headlights. Not sure if it has the different modes to add/remove light but they sure do work nicely.

It would be awesome if my passenger seat folded flat, would make trips to the lumber yard nice. My data 06 Everest Green Grey Interior ( pebble??) 164k miles $9500 (bit more due to bank financing and tax, tag, title fees) Options Command/NAV Heated seats Split and folding rear seats ( my number one option) Bi Xenon headlights with washers Harmon Kardon sound system 6 disc CD changer All weather floor mats Work done SBC. Pump replaced under warranty 6 new glow plugs New from bearings New front ball joints and tie rods E55 AMG wheels, staggered. Overall condition. 8/10 The interior needs a little polishin, b pillar has done wear and so does the stearing wheel. Nose of the car has a 3m clear bra which needs yo be replaced but it took the brunt of road debris damage. Paint has some scuffs which I hope can be polished out. Love the Everest green, almost looks black at night. The right wax will make the car pop. I'm imcredibly happy with the car. I need to do the injector seals. I have the puller. I just need to gather up the nerve to do it. The clamping holt likes to do so apparently. Dealer quoted me at $500 to do the job, for all 6, might call back and confirm. Future mods: some totem of tune, restore to AMG wheels, paint the calipers silver, and that's about it. |

It is subtle and designed so you cannot see the movement while driving. For upcoming project, I am thinking of adding Sirius Radio. I am not going to add the MB box and reprogram the radio. I am going to add a stand alone unit and plug it into the auxiliary plug port in the glove box. |

ALL of these cars needed the Xenon headlamps. Very poor headlamp design-performance on the basic Es. |

Maybe consider a 2007-2009 E320 Bluetec, they're getting cheap.
The second gen W211 got a major updates like No SBC Improved sound insulation and wind noise OM642 3.0L V6 (Improvement in torque, and power) 7 speed transmission (no transistor plate problem) My Spec 2008 Obsidian Black with Black MB Tex interior Purchased it for $12,000 in 2012 at 110k miles Current Miles 130k Options: Sunroof Command w/Navi Voice control Iphone connection w/Bluetooth connection for command Rear sunshade package Rain sensing wipers Services done after purchase Brake fluid flushed and replaced Transmission Fluid and filter Fuel Filter Air filter Rear Differential fluid Power Steering fluid Minor Repairs 2x Intercooler Hose @ 3/2014 4x Struts @ 6/2014 Ball Joint @ 6/2014 Major Repair Oil cooler Seal replacement @ 12/2014 Click Here! The car runs great sure it threw some tantrum at me but it wasn't any thing that i couldn't handle, the previous owner seriously neglected its maintenance however to a point where the fuel filter had a 2007 date stamped on it, and the air filter was filled to the brim of dead large grasshoppers, leaves and all kinds of assorted bugs. Other than that it drives just fine, now with that oil cooler problem is resolved (common problem with OM642) should give me many years of service. |

I like the OM648 too its a robust engine no doubt and the granddaddy of the modern mercedes diesel engine but OM642 has better off the line combined with that 7 speed torque delivery is very linear and torque on the OM642 is rated at 400 lb/ft vs 313 lb/ft, we don't measure HP's in Diesel :P, MPG been getting 30-32 mpg with a light foot of course. |

Why are you posting here about your 2008 or is it a 2009, taking this thread far afield and off-topic, anyway? |

No significant mechanical differences. the 05's had a few available options such a dynamic seats. Center console on '05 was changed mid-way through the production year so I think there are late production 2005 model years with the newer console/cup holder configuration. I still prefer earlier design as I like padded arm rest and design is more traditional MB and the way new MBss are too. '05s tend to have more options on them in general. The residual heat function was on early 2005s but not on late 2005s or 2006s. Someone on MBWorld stated, "The COMAND units in 2005 has DVD optics, and can read MP3 files from DVD media. The 2006 has CD optics." I am not aware of any mechanical/part modifications done as a result of early production gremlins showing in the early 2005s. __________________ Solar panel was to provide power for ventilation for panoramic roof I believe My vehicle has the fully auto trunk closer which is partially working. There is a red illuminated button on the inside of the lid that powers the trunk closed and a button on the driver door that does the same. The button on the inside of the trunk lid does not work....i suspect a broken wire in the hinge. The trunk can be manually closed but Mercedes left the hand indention handle to do this as on the non-powered car. |

We're been doing it for ever being diesel people we don't give it much thought. 87 wagon diesel , 98 99 turbo e300 I'll come in with my specs on my 06 soon. It's awesome. I drove it like two weeks straight. Fun. A waste though because you can't speed around here. Chips wherever with radar guns. But I think the wife is getting it. I said if she could sell her 1999 for a good price she'd get the 211. And looks like she did to a friend at work. I didn't think it would happen. The latter models do have a lot going for them like you said. I've consoled my loss with thoughts of a black s500 Or s320 blu. maybe 2008 in a few years when they cost less. i love the big mercedes boat ride feel. |
Seeing those fold down seats and space, and reading the performance specs and economy, makes me wonder if this could replace my 82 300td. ...

2006 with 190,000 miles - bought it with 150,000 miles a year ago
bi xenon, folding rear seats and ski pass through , leather keyless go that works fine super happy with this car and plan to keep it several years and put a lot of miles on it quick for such a big sedan and gets great mpg have done injector seals did shocks although they were not too bad did a couple of the fuel lines thermostat changed all fluids etc nothing else comes to mind planning to add an aftermarket parktronic like set up and to take it to houston and have distronic retrofitted sometime in the next year will add i have an 08 ml320cdi with the om642 and while i like the truck and have been super lucky with no issues on mine i do not think the v6 is going to be as overall reliable as my 06 e class |

Sounds like a honey of a CDI there! No NAV and moonroof though. I'd sure like to see that one. |
I don't think my car has the pass through for skis.
I totally took advantage of the fold down rear seats and removed the bottoms to haul some 2x6x8's Wish the front passenger seat folded flat like they do in Europe. Maybe I can retrofit that feature |
If it didn't come with option; #282 SKI-BAG, probably not.
|
I bet it can be retrofitted.....

Something (possibly) funky about that El Paso car. (?)
The Carfax report states 2 owners, not one. What is funky is that it is listed as being first sold in 2004, therefore it is an early 2005 build. BUT - it has the later style center console. :confused: |
i would be very interested in retrofitting my front seats to fold down flat if anyone ever does that let us know how it goes
i looked for 8-9 months for my car and had just about given up wanted one loaded with bi xenon, keyless go and folding rear seats, would have liked to get parktronic but the other three were the most important and hardest to retrofit but i live in southern az where it is really hot and wanted only silver or white exterior and only from southern or no snow states limited my options a lot but it was worth it, super happy with this car had a nice 99 e300 and loved it but this one is so much faster and gets much better mpg sold the e300 to my best friend and she loves it |

Not sure if anyone has seen this one?
Mercedes Black E320 CDI, 2006 DIESEL with less than 6030 miles Mint! - $32999 (Marietta) It's a shame that they can't even get it out of the garage to take pics! :eek: I doubt it's been regularly maintained either. For that kind of money, I'd rather have a late model E350 BlueTEC or new CLA myself! |

As per maintenance - there's not a lot necessary on a car that's got those kind of low miles on it. With full-synthetic oil, it's probably still within technical standards. Driven enough to keep it relevant, and ready to drive, IMO. If one keeps the miles down, this car will likely retain much if not all of the asking price. Unfortunately, those dollars won't compound over time. I'd like to own it, but not for those dollars. Beautiful car, nonetheless. |
