Bad speller..or he actually mean "Tu-BRO!!". I will send him a message and ask him about it lol.
Been starting to see more E class with the exclusive line/traditional grill. Captured this E220d yesterday, exclusive line in diamond silver, and the standard 18" wheels. It is a highly personal choice, good on the owner for getting the exact car he wanted.
Almost like a brand new car still, there is not a single rattle, the ride is incredibly smooth and the interior is very quiet even compare to modern standards. Mechanically it has been faultless, the SBS unit is still working fine, the original batteries lasted for 11.5 years as well! There are minor maintenance items such as the rubber seals for the fuel line that needed to be replaced due to age but that is it. There is no blown lights either.
Thankfully no, but I have read about these problems on the MB forum. I think given the relatively low mileage of 64 500 km and the fact that the car rarely revs above 4000 rpm means it hasn't really been stressed that much. There isn't much opportunity to do so. However I have started to floor it once or twice a week when I drive it, just to loosen/clean things up.
It's reassuring to know that even the pre FL W211 is holding up so well despite all the critique surrounding the pre FL cars...
Probably for 2002 to 2004 built cars, our W211 was a Feb 2005 built so it was the 3rd year of production, perhaps that is the reason why. Hopefully our W213 will be just the same.
That may well be the case because 2005 was the period when the quality drive really came into play, imo the late W211s are hugely attractive used buys having gorgeous styling and strong build quality with refinement, particularly the FL..
