    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

    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...

    Replacing 212 E class with a 213 E class - not sure i'll notice the difference

    All My current 250e Avtgde estate is 2011 model with 85k on the clock. Ugly but has been excellent in my view. In a few months i'll replace with the new model. I'll get a nearly new silver 220d SE with no toys - basically whatever's cheapest on autotrader. (Short arms, deep pockets, largely...

    E Class estates dimensions - longer and lower

    We had a 211 and then a 212 estate and i was interested to learn that the boot on the 213 is a bit smaller, despite the length of the car increasing. Dimensions attached for 213, 212, 211. I couldn't find the 210 dimensions but my guess is that the boot is shorter but taller sill, with a flat...

    212 Facelift 2013 - what i'd ask for

    More vaguely informative pics here Big changes for Mercedes E-class | Autocar The focus seems to be on styling and some interior mods... oh and new petrol engines, for that niche market All i'd ask for, as a relatively happy owner, is less tyre roar. And i've only got an Avtgde, not a...

    W211 estate luggage cover

    Hi - this sounds trivial: the luggage cover doesn't budge when I open the boot. No idea why - there must be a switch that activates it. Any ideas gratefully received. I don't mind doing it manually but I'd got quite used to it doing it itself! Thanks Ash

    W211 Elegance - appalling headlights

    My eyesight is fine, I'm still in my 40s, if that makes any difference (which I doubt!), but I find the dipped headlights on on my w211 elegance are really bad. Even when angled up a tad using that little wheel. Can I get an aftermarket replacement (if so what?). I often see threads that note...

    E320 CDI - smoke from exhaust at high speed

    Hi - I've noticed that if I'm overtaking or giving the car a bit of welly at higher speed there's a load of smoke (I don't think it's particularly dark) visible in the rearview mirror. The car seems to drive pretty well. It's 2003 with nearly 70k on the clock but as far as I can tell seems fine...
