E-Class Not a Real E Class

Traded in my fully loaded 2002 BMW X5 for a 2008 E350W. Should not compare apples to oranges. First Impression : After few weeks of driving the E Class, corner of my heart the BMW wins. As the saying goes, when you don't have it anymore is you will miss it even more.

Make sure the air suspension is not leaking. Its an enclosed transmission, so you can't check fluid or anything. Use mobil 1 full synthetic 0w-40 oil only. Requires premium gas 91-95 octane only! Deff don't buy one w electrical problems.

Best vehicle I have ever owned

2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E320 BLUETEC 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 7A)

I have owned many vehicles since I was legal to drive. I have always gravitated towards the European market most of the time and this is my third Benz. I previously owned a 01 S430 and a 02 CLK320. I have also owned a 87 VW Fox, and VW 05 Beetle TDI, 2000 BMW 323i, 2005 BMW 330ci, 2006 BMW 530i, 2012 Audi A4, and 2006 Mini Cooper S that I have owned from the European markets. This car trumps everything. It is comfortable, it feels solid and safe going down the road. Plus the fuel economy is legendary. It is the best of all worlds. It is such a smooth highway runner. When I get into this car at the end of a stressful work day, I can honestly relax on the way home and feel refreshed. I bought this car with about 80000 miles on it and enjoy it a lot every day.

I like the craftsmanship of this vehicle very much. The only thing missing from this car is the modern technology.

A true sports sedan

Best part of this car on my first drive was, compare to E320 and E500 ( both I owned before) how stable this drive train is. Solid grip feel and very stable with no rocking motion side to side. surefooted to road. Engine sound make you want to drive around the town more, and it becomes very addictive. Engine is remarkably responsive and with slight touch of the acceleartor car takes off leaving other cars behind the back mirror. Its totally effortless. No wonder with that much power. Nothing like E500 I had, much more responsive.
Not what I expected

My first Benz. I was glad to read a lot of positive reviews. The following makes me sound like a real whiner, but I gotta say it because I researched this car a lot before I purchased. Previous BMW and Lexus owner. First the good: Great looking, solid, smooth, and fast. Now the negative: Is it only me that thinks these seats are uncomfortable? I keep waiting to "get used to it". Still not happening. No power lumbar? Get real. No backup camera available? Toyota has it on every product. I just expected a lot more from a Mercedes. The name can't carry the reputation too much longer.
Nice change

2nd Benz, 4th European. Very pleased. Last car was an Acura TL, which we hated. Shocked at how poorly Acura was constructed, and we sold it after only 13,000 miles. The E350 is so much nicer. No comparison. We were debating between the GS350 and the E350. Wife liked the looks of the E, I liked the drive of both, but the E is hands down better looking. Sure, the GS is more reliable, but given my experience with the TL and Consumer Report's raving about that, who knows what to believe, and my brother in law's E has been flawless, as has been our CLK, which we kept. If the E is anything like our CLK, I'm sure we made the right choice. Nice design, solid. Very pleasant.
I learned the hard way…

Purchased this car with 144k miles with excellent service history. Transmission was iffy. Radiator was dying. Air suspension was dying/dead. Ended up spending close to 8k in a year on this car before getting rid of it in one year. As pretty and as fast as it was, spent too much time at the shop.
