    213 e220 estate compared with BMW M520d Touring

    I've just been outside with tape-measure and probably. The boot aperture is only 72cm or 73cm high (we have a protective mat) and lower at the sides, more like 67cm. The 819mm they quote in the pic for boot height is the tallest part of the boot, in the passenger-end. so 70cm should fit just.

    213 e220 estate compared with BMW M520d Touring

    The BMW isn't for me but I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable it was. Without feeling special, in my admittedly highly subjective view. The Mrs thought BMW not as nice inside - dash etc. She much prefers e class steerin wheel shifter, now she's used to it. Bmw is a touch wider. I...

    213 e220 estate compared with BMW M520d Touring

    Minor insurance claim gave me the use of 520d for a week. Big wheels and tyres didn't seem to harm the ride. Nightmare near curve. Very comfortable over poor roads. Quiet cruiser. Less noise than e class Touch more space inside Generally v user friendly and nice to punt around. So is e class...

    S212 (estate) boot liner, Thule roof-rack feet, AMG floor mats

    Pics: managed it now, via gallery, though not sure why roofrack pics aren't there, they're in the gallery Turns out i have to sell the roofrack feet with the bars and tighteners (755 feet, 761 bars, Thule Square bar end tensioner / tightening knob 31700), so i'll need to buy new bars for mine...

    S212 (estate) boot liner, Thule roof-rack feet, AMG floor mats

    S213 forces sale of all my transportation essentials. Unsurprisingly none of it fits. Roof-rack feet are excellent condition (Thule 757 i think). Black AMD floor mats are fine. Could do with a bit of a hoover. Boot liner needs a wash down, which i'll do in the next few days. It is intact and...

    What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

    Checked the tyres using the app. Again. They will never ever be right. Too high, too low, not balanced left/right.

    What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

    Endlessly messed around with tyre pressures trying to balance them. Mercedes-me app still reckons I'm out by 8 kilo what's its (not psi) Btw the 213 guidance for 225 55 r17s varies between 220 and 270.;not helpful. Ash

    we had a 250cdi AVGd with 7 speed and it was excellent. quite pokey. my views: short journeys - smaller engine warms up far quicker town journeys - v6 sounds less gruff motorways - 250 is v quiet and loads of tourque high mileage - smaller engine better fast B roads - different car might be...

    On the subject of career change

    I can empathise. I thought it was a smashing career that would improve my image, but seven years later and I'm realising that it's not the kind of job where you can quickly learn from your mistakes

    W213 - six months on... mixed feelings

    I had a 2011 avantgarde and the cornering lighting and high beam assist were excellent. W213 is se cooking version plus command, privacy glass and iridium paint. The lights seem fine but blind on-coming drivers, not dipping as they did in 212. Might be a warranty job. Ash Ps boot size meant I...

    W213 - six months on... mixed feelings

    Really impressed with how much more refined the new model is. High beam adjust doesn't seem to work like it did on 212. And the dog cage doesn't fit. Boot seems quite a bit smaller. Speakers seem light on bass. Wife prefers the way it looks. High beam auto-dip only real fault. Anyone else have...

    W212 small coolant loss advice

    I'm pretty sure the manual says to fill up to a couple of cms below the neck of the expansion tank. I had a 2011 212, the level looked low, the temp gauge went up, the fan went on. In the end i had to spend a lot getting the pump replaced etc. Not before topping it up a couple of times. After...
