You left out the best aspect of the W211. The 2005-2006 E320 CDI. That was the best motor in that car with sensotronic. One the main reasons to buy a W211 is the CDI, man what a sweet motor. 40mpg with as much torque at the 5.5liter V8. and if you want more just chip it. These motors are easily capable of over 500lbs of torque in stock trim, with the 5 speed auto to handle it. I really love the diesel power, it's so refined to have a motor that can make so much muscle so casually. It's really a better motor then a V8, it's better balanced, the V8 is to big, the inline 6 really is a better source of power in the range that you will realistically be driving the car. The V8 will win in a sustained drag race, but it doesn't matter because the turbodiesel can sustain similar levels of top speed continuoulsy over a long term using much less gas and also in just stop light drag races or in traffic in a shot from 50mph to 110 the diesel has similar acceleration. But yeah if you're the highway travelling a long distance the diesel is a much faster motor then the V8 because it's casually able to give full performance, continuously without using a lot of gas. Plus it runs on biodiesel. And then outside of American you had four options, the 2.2liter inline 4 with 130hp that got over 50mpg, the 2.7and 2.8 liter inline five with 160hp which was a real sweet spot in the range, then the 3.2liter inline 6 which was probably the best engine mercedes ever made, and the very rare 4.0liter V8 with 260hp, with was subsequently outperformed by the later V6's bluetec motors. I'll also say I love sensotronic and nowadays with the warrantee it doesn't matter about reliability, if you buy a car with senostronic and it break mercedes will tow the car to their dealership for free, and fix the system for free, and one they're fixed they're very reliable. Yeah the brake peddle has kind of a plastic like feel, you can see it hard to make micro modulation of brake force, but when you're actually driving the car, sensotronic represents such a performance advantage in braking. It's a shame they gave up on the idea although they continued with it for their commercial trucks where not only have independent control of 4 wheels, but 6 or 8 wheels was an even bigger advantage.

The w211 CDI w/ om648.961 inline 6 (last of iron block) diesel engine was the BEST car I ever owned by far & I'm on the hunt for another one. The SBC brakes failed on me @ highway speed (not fun) so glad to see MBUSA step up with 25 yr. coverage on those. A rare feature to look for & covet after is a passenger side fold down rear seat that will allow for long items like fishing poles to pass through the trunk into passenger compartment. Dynamic seats are nice feature also.

I sold my 2005 e320 and immediately regretted it so I went out and bought a 2009 e350 AMG sport. W211 is the best balanced platform ever. Love it. Only issue that’s common on these cars is the plastic actuator arms break causing misfires and check engine lights. If not fixed immediately you can clog your cats. It’s required removal of the install manifold, but the good news is you can get an aluminum version on amazon for like $40 bucks and it will be a permanent solution. Also the SAM (signal acquisition module) on this era of Mercedes can be crummy sometimes. If you have electrical gremlins, take a heat gun to the circuit board and most problems will go away.

This is a fantastic primer - well done! Unlike a review, this is unbiased and spot on. Just some Nit-nerdery: - All W211s had integrated turn signals in the mirrors. Another good way to spot the facelift, look for the "arrow head" shape of the bumper: there is a sharp crease in the middle (as shown in your lovely photography). - Aside from the 722.901, all .9 boxes derive much of their internals from the AMG-fettered .6 box, incl. locking torque converter for all forward gears, and quicker shift times. - Xenon headlamps were optional on all models. Look for the little flaps between each round light on either side of the car to find them. Bi-Xenon was 2006+. - SBC Hold is not, by default, enabled for US-models, use Star Diagnose to enable. To activate, depress the brake, and when stopped, tap it just a bit harder, then let go. The dash will show "SBC Hold." - AIRMatic in these is AIRmatic Dual Control, which is different from AIRMatic used in the W220. It is, reportedly, more reliable than AIRMatic used elsewhere. - The E350 you show has the Sport package, which has the larger 18" wheels, and the revised bumper. The sport package adds the bluish tint, so it is available on all W211.

The pre-facelift W211 E350 AvantGarde (first made 02/2005) though it may not have the “sport” kit, still has lowered sport suspension that’s a good compromise between ride and upgraded handling. The Elegance badged cars have higher ride height and presumably a traditionally superb MB ride, as experienced in the awesome W124 300E. Both pre-and post ‘facelift’ models had integrated LED turn signals-the difference in the mirrors is between rounded and squared shapes. The Elegance models had the silver grille with abbreviated spoilers all round-the AvantGarde’s had a different front spoiler, black grille slats and larger side-skirts. Of course, there are significant binnacle and timber treatments-and we’re not mentioning differences of ‘Classic’ low-end W211s…

I can tell you the E55 is arguably more reliable than the E60 M5, however, the M5 is more of a raw performance machine vs the E55 being a fast cruiser.

I am currently dealing with a misfire on cylinder 6 on my 2007 E350. I tested the coils and they're working. I also swapped spark plugs and its still cylinder 6 that's misfiring so it's neither the plugs or the ignition coils. Any suggestions? Edit: I absolutely love the the W211. Mine has the optional appearance package with the 18in multi-spoke rims (245 front/265 rear), chrome accents for the fog lights, exposed dual exhaust, and silver backed instrument cluster with white dials. That car gets me compliments all the time and it's just SO BEAUTIFUL in my eyes.

This is a tough one, could be as simple as the spark plug gap, or even oil in the wiring. Could be fuel related, or even a mechanically bad cylinder.

@@fcpeuro yeah this has had me stumped. I was doing maintenance on the manifold (swirl flap lever snapped. I re placed the triangle shaped central piece with a billet aluminum one) and before then the car was working pretty much fine, the problem came up when I put everything back together.

Alcantara and suede are not the same thing. The prior is a synthetic material that looks like suede, Care and maintenance of each are different. Also you should put your teleprompter in front of the camera so that it looks more natural when someone speaks.

Do the sport brakes fit under 17 inch wheels? How do I go about putting the sport brakes on my s211 e350 4matic?

The Bee Guru's apprentice although W211's were being produced in 2002, they were for Model Year 2003. One of the annoying quarks of car manufacturers and when things "come out". Thanks for watching the vid, and feel free to nerd out whenever!

Hey Jacobus, we'd have to say 2008-2009 E350 with RWD would be the go too for that!
@star500e4 жыл бұрын
@Jacobus van Bindsbergen: It's not quite cut and dry. Firstly, don't discount the earlier models: the M112/M113 motors and 722.6 5-speed are very reliable with only routine maintenance. They tend to eat mounts, and they have 2-plugs per cylinder. The E350 is, however, the most plentiful and therefore, probably the wisest choice. Als U in Europa wohnt, dan is het meschien ook goed bij die 4-cyl modellen of 4-cylinder diesel modellen te kijken. In die VS, krijgen wij die niet.
