Hate to bother you chronometers, but would you happen to have the direct link to the 2005 & 06 CDIs on the MB dealers combined website? Or, do you have to go through several menus and selection clicks each time you go there? I'd like to bookmark it. Thanks!

I've spent quite a lot of time on the site over the past several weeks and I've had no luck with bookmarking beyond the initial search page.

Yeah.......that's how they're set-up I guess.

Yeah, somewhat - 550 miles...

Sounds like a honey of a CDI there!
No NAV and moonroof though.
I'd sure like to see that one.

TheDon · #85 03-30-2015, 09:01 PM

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

Skid Row Joe · #86 03-30-2015, 09:40 PM

If it didn't come with option; #282 SKI-BAG, probably not.

TheDon · #87 03-30-2015, 10:12 PM

I bet it can be retrofitted.....

Are you sure about pass through?......you might want to check and see if there is a door inside the arm rest nook. There is a small finger activated switch that allows the door to open...inside is a bag attached to the opening.

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.

courtney · #90 03-30-2015, 10:42 PM

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
