E-Class W213 [Official] Mercedes-Benz E-Class W213

don't quote me on this....but I think I read somewhere, when you aren't accelerating, it shuts off the engine or does something eco along these lines...this could be it
New Bosch system shuts off coasting cars' engines
this might explain it? Try it in sport mode and see if it does the same...

I drive mine in eco mostly but I haven't felt it brake as such infact I just find my car is in the highest possible gear and it just glides ...infact maybe if you in sport or sport plus you may find it brake a bit as it will drop to lowest gear and that will give keep.it ready for you when you hit the accelerator.

This is just speculation maybe Wolfgang can assist ...my car has not had the brake effect as such..

What mode are you experiencing this in ?

Got a question for you guys, the dealer said they can do a wheel swap pre delivery, which one do you guys prefer. The 19" star spoke, the 20"multi spoke or the 20" E 43 wheels.

 

[fortuner]

Mate I love the middle one but your ride will be firmer then the 19 inch for sure if you happy with that those are my favorite rims.

 

[Betty Swollocks]

Definitely the middle ones (the 20" multi-spoke).

 

[MercFan]

IRL the last ones look the best for me.

 

[Yaz]

20" 43's wheels

 

[Mick Briesgau]

The 19" wheels. Perfect combination of looks and driving comfort, fitting for an E.

 

[Rainer271]

I would prefer the 20"multi spoke.

 

[Tarek]

Last one for sure.

 

[klier]

Middle without a doubt, the others are plain ugly.

 

[Rolf]

Those middle multispoke rims look fantastic on the E-class definitely the mags to choose

 

[mercpassion]

The middle ones are one of the best MB wheel designs in recent years imo, I would surely go for them

Definitely.

I don't like the 19's too much.

 

[fortuner]

I think if you can get a nice test with 19 and 20 inch and see if you happy with ride first..

Ok. I will give it a try later this evening when I drive home. I have yet to drive in ECO or Sports mode though.

I have only driven it in Comfort mode so far... still breaking in the engine. But I will give it a try on Eco mode later this evening.

 

[SGTurbo]

@Monster, I vote middle for looks but the 19" is a close second. I do agree with fortuner about test driving. I am a sucker for comfort though.

 

[Star&Car]

I love the last ones,but in the long run I think the middle ones suit the car best.

 

[Yaz]

While the multi spoke look amazing, they're going to be a pain to clean. Just remember that.

I know too well, I have those same wheels on my car, takes about 10 min to clean each wheel by hand.
