Anybody owns a high mileage 4matic e320?

Wondering if anyone owns a 4matic e320 98-03 with high miles.


Can you tell me a little bit about the car? What kind of problems you had with it and the miles per gallon you are getting.

e320 is a gasoline powered car.

Maybe try www.mbca.org for input

you know about the HARMONIC BALANCER and the SHOCK TOWER?

However: a few weeks ago a friend of mine was in town to visit his parents and we took out his fathers 2002 320 4-matic. Car has 86K miles and has had NO trouble, car was purchase STARMARK from a dealer. I think the father purchased the car in 2004

We were both surprised how nice a car it was, how well it drove. My friend is a BMW owner and runs a Ferrari race team so he drives lots of cars and they're a major part of his life. I was a bit surprised of his high praise for the car after having driven it.

One outstanding feature of the car is how stable the car - front particularly - during highway abrupt lane changes. Friend and I were guessing that the front -drive aspect really adds some benefits in dry conditions.

My dad drives around in a 2001 E320 4matic with ~160K miles on it.

I know it has had nothing done to the AWD system. No leaks, no noises, nothing at all.

The engine uses about 1 qt of M1 every 3500 - 4000 miles, I guess.
