Auto Europa Naples - Jak na to + styl
Honestly the most beautiful sedan ever made.
Twiggyay I agree with you
Nope the e39?
+1 for E39
Agree wholeheartedly spectacular looking and driving car
Karsten da Silva Sørensen not even close
One of the last great looking Mercs
A future classic for sure.
What a great review. First class - from a car review journalist, well done!!
The last of the beautiful E-Class designs!

I bought a 2005 E300CDI with 105,000 miles on her about 3 years ago. Since then I've changed the oil, cleaned filters, replaced one tire and two lightbulbs. That is it! Its been a fantastic car and is my 4th MB diesel (W123, W124, W210, and now W211) . I get 37MPG on the highway and around 24 in town; not bad for a supremely comfortable car.
There’s no 300 CDI, it’s either a 280 or 320 CDI. Nevertheless it’s an extremely attractive and comfortable car, I have a 2003 320 CDI...
Both e320 nore 280 share same engine 3.0 v6 cdi , 2005 model some have 3.2l engine end of year 3.0 evo , i owe 2005model 3l engine avantgard
I own a 2009 E-350 Mercedes, no problems ever, 170,000 miles. A Lot has to do with the maintenance and the driver, If you want your car to last treat them gentle like your lover and never neglect their needs.
Nice I got an 08 with 265k
@@valonkrasniqi6953 I have a late 2005 with 140,000 miles :-)
Yes.any people misunderstand Mercedes. As long as you perform maintenance on time and change fuilds frequently, it will be reliable.
349k here !!!
@@rizzotto139 which engine do you have?
2006 E350. Bought it in March 2016 from the original owner w/ 118K on the clock. First 2 yrs of ownership were expensive: replaced upper & lower control arms, driveshaft, motor mounts, trans mounts, all 4 brakes, and that majorly expensive manifold thing. MBZ reimbursed me for the p&l SBC replacement. All that aside (big aside) I do love this car - lots of fun to drive. People don’t expect it to have the power & handling it does.
I got this E350 MB with 206,000 miles. I was amazed everything was still functional, performs like a tank.
How much it cost to replace brakes
I've got an 07 E350 with 200,000 miles, still drives like brand new . Nothing that doesnt work. No check engine light problems. Mine has the 3.5 268 horsepower V6 and I love it. I'd take it over a BMW any day and you can do most maintenance yourself
I picked up a 2007 E550 4Matic with 125k miles for $7000US. Lot of car.
Shoot I bought a 07 E350 with 200,000 miles exactly the car appears, drives and runs like a brand new car, most servicing you can do yourself. But theirs no lights on the dash, hardly any wear on the interior this car is gorgeous price $5000. What you get for the price of a used Mercedes is unbeatable. I've been driving older Mercedes for years and just got rid of a 2000 C240 that was the same way and their was nowhere I wouldn't go in that car low miles for a 2000 just 142,000 but i abused that one just to see what it would take for almost 6 years lol
@@martinosborne2024 I know that's right 👍🏼
Great review. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼
I really enjoy my E350 AvantGarde 2005 W211 -- a first gen. E350 with the engine balance shaft issues, also found on the early E500 (which my car shows no sign of to date)... Owned it now for over four years, bought it with 80,000 km and now just reaching 100,000 km. I make sure it's oil-changed every 6 months using appropriate synthetic oil, an MB original filter, and that the transmission oil is changed every couple of years. Very occasionally the 7-speed auto can become abrupt on downshift into first or second (less obvious in 'comfort' mode)--this is fixed by an easy electronic transmission reset which you can do yourself in several minutes. Every two years I have the brake fluid flushed and have experienced no probs with the first-ever drive by wire electro-hydraulic brake system... The most 'expensive' repair has been replacement of a certain front-end upward? facing suspension ball joint and link (replaced both sides to avoid future issues), indicated by obvious squeakiness... A pleasing Benz so far and am hoping it matches the 28 year life-span of my previous W124 E300...
Firstly you have done a great job by putting this on CZcams. Whenever I see a W211 or A W212 I remember my father because he was an Automobile Engineer, my father went to Germany to build his career. (Although we are from India my father used to tell me that Germany is a holy place for car Brands like BMW, MB, VW and Porsche). Finally he came back to India after he became 65yrs old. He bought his 211 with him it had 3.2 or 3.0 V6. He taught me hove to deal with small niggles, finally i graduated as an Automobile Engineer also, we both started to re-work the car we changed the suspension, replaced the 7G-tronic with a 9G-tronic, replaced the AC Compressor, and finally replaced the old ECU with a special ECU made by BOSCH. Recently I got it painted the car with new colour and also the headlamps with Xenon ones. Even today it drives like a GEM and runs like a proper Mercedes, My son recently bought a E320D 2022 version. But i feel the W211 is more closer to my heart.
I wish I could buy one of those one day.
I still drive my 2005 e320 6 cylinder. It's been very reliable though repair costs are high. It's the normal little things that wear out over time but the motor and transmission are solid. I take very well care of it and never miss the recommended service. I have 240k miles on it. I only drive it locally and rarely take on the freeway. I love my e320 and have no intention to purchase a new car.
define ''high''? what is high? what has been the max you ve spent on repair costs?
Wow very useful
For the face lift models, Cam shaft, fuel pump, O2 sensors. A nice car overall.
E280 CDI 3.2 I6 owner here. This car is amazing, despite its many problems. 234k kilometers strong so far. Just @14th of February im going to repair turbocharger due to whistling.
Also had some electronical problems.
And one spark plug problem.
But that's one of the best looking MBs ever made, in my opinion.
Cheers.
Przemko a spark plug problem...on a diesel. Do explain
@@noahno may aswell be my lack of words ,but I did mean glow plugs.
I have W 211 E200 petrol compressor 184bhp.194000km.Just was change full timen chain kit and sparkplugs +batery after 12 years since new.Is not speed demon but give me more space ,comfort and good audio system.No problem at all with this car.Enjoy every day to use this car.Avantgarde version.
I bought my self a E320 CDI with the Inline 6 OM648 and been working really good and havent really heared anything bad about them
They have also steering failures, sometimes the pump or the steering column brake.
The most beautiful car ever.
I have a 2004 e class avantgard, never give me a problem sinc i buy it an have 190.000 km its like a new end tank car. Very relaxin end adorable
I’ve a 04 E320 Wagon imported from Japan now in Canada it runs like a dream now at 155000 km
Have a 2007 E320CDI Sport with Brabus chip. 42mpg on run at high cruising speed !!
Top Speed off the clock. 50,000 miles on the clock ! !
It was a demo with 2k on the clock
This car is Magic Driver & I will never sell it !!
2005 E320 With the 4cylinder and a 5 speed auto. Car was previously used as a taxi, has almost 350000km on it, but it still runs strong. Bought at 275000, only major things that needed replacement apart from normal things like brakes, oil and tires were the AC compressor which gave out last year, a new battery a few years ago, and one time had to go to the dealership, it had some fault with the turbo, although it was less than 1000€ to fix.
I don't know if it's just a case of winning the lottery on this one, but unreliable this definitely isn't, it's also comfortable, no rattles, everything feels quality. One thing to look out for is the soft-touch plastic near the headlight knob, that likes to turn to a gooey and melty mess after some years.
It's not lottery. Most taxis are w211 for a reason. Our car isn't a taxi but my dad put 1.4m km
I own a 2007, V6 diesel with a mere 105k miles( that’s nothing). Regarding the sticky button, grab some Turtle wax Bug and Tar remover, spray it on a cloth and start rubbing, it will clean out that stickiness and you’ll have black shiny switch👍
@@marcelcovaci9922 Beautiful, man! ❤️
An E270 CDI T-Model (2004) owner here having almost 334000 km I just can say expect some i would say minor issues this car still runs great and even quite efficiently dispite its age
Hi. Can you tell me what to look for when buying 270 and common issues
@@saadgandapore It is hard to tell, i would say if the pre owner did his oil change properly (I do it every about 30000km), if the air suspension is working fine (if this car has air suspension), the interior if there is any damage, problem in this model is that mercedes saved a good amount of money on it (which actually don't bother me too much, but everyone is different), and the ball joints (a common issue), if they have a problem you will here it as their squeaking noises are quite annoying that's all I can tell. I know there some other issues that could be in this model, example is rust a common problem, but it didn't effected my car tbh that is all i can tell, maybe someone can complete some more information to this topic, cause this is only my experience
@aferran69 I am like 3rd owner but dad (pls don't judge me :) ) was 2nd so I'm including my dads issues too, I know that he changed the brakes at least one time, and when I got it we changed them a second about 1 year ago, we changed the whole air suspention (4 parts) one time and the compressor one time and the engine mount a 2nd time, and the abs sensor ring (idk if it is so called in english) that is basically about it and I need to change the ball joints, cause they re sometimes squeaking, quite annoying which i will do quite soon. It might sound like a joke but it is the reality, we might be pretty lucky with this car, but maybe this model is just solid
@@saadgandapore If I can give you a hint about what annoys me the most are two things:
1. The air suspension, is really nice I can tell, it is a lot of fun but also as horrible if it brakes cause it still can be quite expensive and it also happens quite random when you dont expect it and also just one side, so if I can give you a hint try to avoid it, I personaly think you dont really need it is just a good extra more or less you can have
2. The electronic opening and closing tailgate. I can tell also a really nice feature you can have very pratical but with a cause off easily having issues not terrible like it could disable using your boot that shouldn't happen, but it is quite annoying. My car has an issues with his tailgate, that it sometimes won't close and go back up after pressing the button to close it, cause the electronics are sometimes going crazy and you end up closing it manually which sometimes won't solve the problem cause the computer doesn't regonize it as closed.
so my hint here is if you can get on without, go for it you dont really need it, it is cool but that's it
But that is my opinion do whatever you want :D
Yeah I'm thinking the same, pretty proud of my car ngl
At this time...Oct 2019, I'm thinking about replacing my BMW with a drop dead beautiful 2009 white and tan W211 with 100k miles on it. I'm on the fence a bit as I'm always Breaking My Wallet for my 530i. I'm not a fan of the next year look and feel....W212, I believe. I so love the lines of this car...
And you'll love the car the BMW is a money pit to me my 07 E350 just turned over 200,000 miles. Still runs perfect no check engines lights. Runs like a much stronger car with the 3.5 V6 it can take you from 0 to 60 in around the 6 sec mark cant complain about that and with CZcams videos you can do most of the maintenance items on your own if your a DIY person. Only thing I hated was one brake light went out have to change the motherboard with all new lights only 42 dollars but you do have to take the tailight completely out to replace the one bulb but you have all new bulbs on that side lol
Any idea on E220 CDi 2.2L Fuel Consumption? (km/liter)? Thanks
I have one......never a moment that i regret buying it.....the best. I also have w210...and its a good car too...
My 2004 320 diesel turbo is a brilliant drive. 177,000km drives like a Benz should...has the suspension bells and whistles, just got over the SBC issue,( which isnt covered in NZ) cost 40 bucks NZ...the rest is mint have only spent money on maintenance like rotors, and wheel bearings and servicing, ( not at MB, but pro shop) it feels like it'll go forever....
How did you fix SBC please
i am in the process of buying a E280 CDI 2008 in india. it has run 60000 kms and has an issue with the steering box leak which has been rectified. it has a good srevice history. after seeing your video i think i will buy it as in india we do have good private mechanics where one can work on the car at a reasonable cost which is as good as working on it by yourself. thank you
Hey what has your experience been like? I am about to buy one at 85k kms which is in great shape.
my father has the 2009 e220 cdi and it has over a million km while it was also drown in water under a bridge and half the car was under the water for 5 hours even after that the engine turned on and it still works perfectly. In my opinion its the most reliable car ever built by any manufacturer and the service is not so expensive the only thing thats expensive is the fuel because the car is kinda old. I will keep this car's legacy alive and i know it will never dissapoint me
The CLS is beautiful at first glance-the W211 is beautiful to live with. For 10 years I’ve owned an early build E350 with the ‘problem’ M272 engine issues and SBC. I love the car, always a pleasure to drive-though you must be prepared to spend moderately every year on maintenance and essential to use a very experienced MB mechanical shop.
Why no mention of the balance shaft issues on the 3.5?
John G I know 💯💯
people like to be reassured... not educated 😊
Balance shaft made from SOFT steel, what a concept! MB fixed that issue, now they use SOFT timing chains, all 3 of them instead of 1. The camshaft sensors allow the computer to check timing and pop DTC Codes. 😊
Timin rattle upon start:
they used to have an oil check valve to feed chain tensioner but they kept it out during production so you can get "check-valve kit" added as a repair when rattle shows up ✌️
love'em or hate'em but fix them!
Very informative
You are welcome
I had thought the 2003 E500 would be ok because of the v8 , but now I hear it's much more !!!
It is more reliable than the V6 always has been in the W211 throughout that generation.
I think the key with buying a 211 is not necessarily to buy one after 2006. Many of the earlier models that are out there for sale have already issues like the idler puller and balance shaft addressed by now, and at least here in the US, the SBC issues are covered under warranty by Mercedes for 25 years after original purchase date. Also a good idea to stay away from models that have airmatic suspension or consider a coil over conversion.
Was the diesel problematic too
The W211 is an excellent german luxury sedan for someone looking for something $13k or less with plenty of luxury. I have a 2006 E500 and its wonderful. Reliable, ride quality is superb, and the 5 liter M113 pulls hard. I plan on taking it past the 200k mile mark
2007 Mercedes Benz E350
Thats my car and to me as beautiful a coupe as you'll find anywhere have just turned 200,000 no major problems. No check engine lights. Only thing I hate is if one tailight bulb goes out you change them all not a single bulb the whole motherboard but you have all new lights on that side and at 42 dollars its not bad if you didn't have to remove the taillight assembly to change it
I bought a september 2006 E280 yesterday, and it is a facelift model.
how much u buy? value this model to buy with 300.000 km thx
147000km on it. 9000 euro

we got told in NZ no warranty, how did ya swing that??

Enjoy!
Im suprised it hasnt been mentioned the faulty Valero radiator from 2003-2004... they had replaced the faulty rad with a Bosch in 2005 late 2004, a Transmission heat exchanger or Replacing the rad with a OEM spec Bosch i dont advise using anything aftermarket

Sbc?
I just bought an e200 kompressor 2008 in the best ever condition for 9500 dirhams in uae
It's predecessor was the w210. Not the w110
I've driven Mercedes since 2000 and find them to be amazing vehicles. My current E550 and CLK320 are rolling just fine. For those that believe that these are hard to service or unreliable, stick with a 1977 Chevrolet Nova with an inline 6-cylinder and 3-speed manual transmission, crank windows.😁
What about the air suspension on these e550’s ? Parts are around the 3K mark .
@@Enzo-tg8uo Simply not true. I replaced the entire air ride on my 2008 E550 at about 85k miles. All four air struts, compressor, relay and special tool for air line connector cost me about $1,675. I did it all myself and was relatively easy.
@@anthonygrove4012 that cheap to replace the whole thing ?? Wow 😯 I got quoted at around 1200$ for the 2 front each so it’s 2400$ plus the rears at around 600$ each = 1200$.. 3600$ total in parts not counting labor.. Bilstein brand which is the German brand used by Mercedes..
@@Enzo-tg8uo I have used Arnott Industries brand air suspension parts for over 20 years. They are far better than OE and much, much less. If you can change a shock absorber, then you can change these too.
Hello, I'm looking to purchase a E350 2008 VIN WDBUF56X58B249734. How do I know this engine is reliable?
vic lo it’s good, for those years they fixed intake problem and new pulleys , but make sure you have service history, these cars need oil change every 4-5000 miles... any car breaks if owner doesn’t take care of it
@@gregdali1011 thank you very much. I got the Carfax and service history. looks really well taken care of. it has 41k miles
Only 41,000 miles I purchased an 07 E350 with the anantgrade appearance package its got 200,000 miles everything on the cars perfect. Changed the plugs and air filters. But I expect to drive this car at least another 200 no lights on dash, can't even feel the 7 gear transmission change but I did reset the transmission too. But at 41,000 it'll probably out last us
The intake manifold flap problems were its number one but anything else a normal for a high mileage car
when compared with BMW... the Benz appear realiable!
Some uncomon parts just need replacement on schedule.
👍
I own a w211 , 280 cdi V6 3 liter in india since 2006 and my daily commuter all missing today was the android head which I added and sorted and will drive it another decade for sure with the 7 g tronic and triptronic steering was a great car then and today too.. Lucky it dint have airmatic suspensions
Good
Kindly review About Volvo S60 2005 model
volvo of that generation - have unreliable gearbox - avoid avoid avoid!
Anybody owned W211 E 240 of 2002? I want to know some technical issues for these model
Hi I own a '03 example. Well make sure that the interior buttons still work fine because many of them fail to operate when they reach this age. Say for example, my AC fan speed buttons now require me to apply more force to press them. So sometimes it is a pain in the ass to adjust the fan speed but I've gotten used to it. As of the CD changer, don't fill up all six slots because I had mine jammed up due to that. Also the SBC brake pump may need to be replaced when u acquire an E240, because we got ours last year and it failed within the first year of ownership. I'm not sure how much the SBC brake pump's gonna in your country, but in Malaysia it costs MYR5,000.
Back to interior stuffs, the plastic mouldings that surround the front seats may crack in some cases, so be prepared for it to happen. My rear cabin interior lights isn't working too so rear passengers don't get any form of illumination at night. Brief overview but hope that helps.
i droped a like but you didnt answer the question...(you said it had some issues that made bmw sell more but you didnt say what were those issues)
it'll be the sbc braking system fiasco maybe..??
@@2011MikeJansen sbc, its not that bad as ppl say. There must be other reasones)
The facelift version started at 2006 and better quality too, i have 2006 e200 KOMPRESSOR and it is Facelift so you are wrong...
I have a 2004 e320 with 250k miles. Still drives like it's brand new
Honestly - one of the best cars ever made. If i could afford one i'd buy one. But for now i'll have to settle for my toyota
Your toyota is probably more reliable, but the feeling of driving a Benz is on another level. The diesels are good, but apart from the looks, this isn't the best Mercedes that is built.
@@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB used to have a 300D - one of the best engines ever made. I think when i got rid of mine it had nearly 500 thousand kms on it and still going strong, indestructible
Is buying a e200 a good choice
E200 or e220 CDI are built like tanks, used as Taxi's in Europe for many years.
W211 is a money pit but I think it's a lot of car for the money I've put 250k on mine in 10 years still running smooth service the atf oil every 40k and it will run forever better than w212...
true! W212 uses a special super low viscosity ATF that is a perfect setup for early clutch pack failure from low pressure.
Contamination is known to plug up solenoid filters thus helping to starve the clutch pistons from pressure 👏
Do it yourself and it wont feel like a money pit
Moneypit? Lmao, it's like the complete opposite of that.
Also a W212 is just as reliable as a late W211, which is to say very very reliable
M4ANIEK chłopaku jak to czytasz to przeczytasz niezły 🙀 jesteś 😉🎇👌
I have E320 and is it good vehicle?
I have a 2008 E320 and it runs flawlessly. It was a leased vehicle that I bought in 2011 with 34,000 miles on it. The low end torque on this turbo diesel is unbelievable. The only major issue I have had is when I had a recent inspection at the Mercedes dealer and they fortunately found and repaired a fuel leak. Can't say enough good things about this vehicle. It is my wife's car and she does not drive high mileage; it has only 74,500 miles on it.
I m glad I have one of this gold 2004W211270CDI the best or nothing
i think this guy spit him self while telling how beutiful this car is :D
Sir ,with all the respect, you forgot to mention the Bosch SBC electro hydraulic pump unit , which is the braking system of the whole car , and in the W211 series 2003 - 2006 tends to fail very often and in low mileage , which that means that you don`t have almost no braking power in a car that weighs over 1.6 tons minimum , so i don`t understand why you have not mentioned it in detail since it is a buying review guide, and you just saying only " sensitivity in the braking system " , the W211 2003 - 2006 is using brake by wire system which that means that the brake pedal works like a switch , it only sends the signal of how hard and with what pressure you are pushing the braking pedal , and it sends the command to the Sensotronic Brake Control unit which in turn applies and adjust the right amount of pressure needed through the braking system to brake the wheels of the car .
So for me it is a big miss that you have not mentioned it, because it is a red flag if that unit fails , and depends on the country you are , fixing it , repairing, or replacing it it`s not an easy task, and by all means not an economically viable solution , so yeah i could say that you could dedicate 30 seconds or so from the total running time of your video to inform the viewers or the future buyers of a used W211 for this specific issue which in turn could easily be a major safety defect if the unit fails while at speed in a highway, or in whatever condition the car is in even at low speeds.
I own a W211 E200 1.8 kompressor 2004 , and the SBC pump unit has failed , and the car is standing still for many weeks, with no braking power , there is no use for it, so i am still awaiting for the workshop to find a solution, or an used SBC unit in a good condition , because if bought new the unit costs from 2000 to 3000 euros plus more all the labor charges and the cost of the procedure through using the official dealer diagnostic software STAR, XENTRY, to install it and make it work with the car. So my opinion is that is mandatory if not obligatory before you buy a W211 2003 - 2006 model year , a pre inspection check with an official diagnostic is required to avoid unpleasant surprises , and big repair bills from the workshop.
The W211 facelift version so that means after 2006 with the different bumper was not using anymore the SBC unit at all , but instead it had a conventional braking system like all the cars , after many complaints for failing SBC units worldwide the past 3 years from the customers.
Thanks for your useful additional contribution
W211? What?
I have a 2002 270CDI and god it has a lot of electric problems. Its avangard. I got it for 1000€ but overall i done 8000€ in parts in my own car shop. I really like 5 cyilinder diesels.
I repair and restore old mercedes cars (up to W204 and W212). I can tell you the 200kompressor and 220cdi are the best engines in w211. Chose the automatic transmition, its tempting to get a manual but beleave me every one of theme i restored with manual trans had a floating flywhele destroyed. If you are looking for a preformance car i recommend E320CDI that engine is bulet proof i had one for restoration and whoaa it had 1200450km in 6 computers (Its hard as fuck to hide the real odometer value)
just a correction facelfit came in late 2006 ,
That answers my question.. I bought a september 2006 E280 yesterday, and is a facelift model. Avantgarde with 147000 km on it, in perfect condition.
I have E200 2004 but I a problem pls help me Facebook jibrin idum Michael if I can call pls if am going just for 1 min it will stop u have on the car again it will do sam thing

I can provide you a new key for half of the price from professional services.
I’ve already chalked up the cash mo the back but thank yoy
Thanks alot
Reviewer doesn't list specific problems-----YOU MUST LOOK THEM UP ON-LINE. SERIOUS ENGINE FAILURES BY ENGINE # (not VIN) are on-line---repairs/replace will cost more tan the purchase.
I jus love the look of these but it would most likely be a money pitt
Raek Ownz from everything ive read this is not the case
@GenZ MGTOW warranty on SBC extended to 25 years unlimited miles. Was reimbursed $1694 cost of replacing my unit 3 years after having work done.
@@clagueb3686 thats for USA only I believe
SBC replaced in New Zealand under warranty ,thanks to Mercedes Germany
They're anything but, just buy one that's been taken care of that's preferably a facelift model as they're more reliable than pre-facelift.

I thought Mercedes Benz was "nothing but the best" according to them, too many issues for a car that costs that kind of money. Engineers at Mercedes should be trained in Japan.
There is a reason why used Benz are cheap and 10Yr old ones are off the road... go figure !
🙄
This is a very good car,one of the best on the road.
Beautiful but not reliable, shaft problem, electrical problem, computer failure, had it since brand new, it’s a Money pit! really!
...so you probably never owned one
this is a design goal and clearly remains.
The worst car I ever had
Hi there.. I really suggest you start learning some English ( If you plan to make more videos) , second , your material is so vague , none about engine but some general facts found random through internet.
It's funny that you reply coming from a non-speaking English country. I do my best to make these reviews and I do research before any video. I consider myself a petrol head, so I want my viewers to have a great summery of the car they want to purchase. You are entitled to your opinion, but you are a little shot sighted.
