I just added a 1999 E320 to my stable.

Well pleased with car.

The ash tray is clean and plastic. Plastic seems odd

Should there be a metal liner for the car? Is that something I could buy?

Thanks for the update

Most ash trays are non flammable plastic these days.

Thanks for the advise, I will now put my spare coins in teh ash tray with an old sock (noise suppressant) and more on.

Many thanks

tivoliman, all is well. Our 1998 E320, which we bought new, has a plastic ashtray. That vintage E-class was when the accountants started ruling the roost, and the emphasis was on cost cutting so MB vehicles were more competitively priced. I would expect the plastic ashtray is also lighter than a metal version. In combination with many other lighter components fuel economy increases, as does the CAFE.
