What body is it (coupe, saloon etc)?
FSH?
Gearbox service due?
Tyre condition?
Sat Nav upto date

I have the 3.5 E400
Excellent engine!

Can't help on the screen.
I like it being less obtrusive and not be a stuck in ipad ( though I am coming round to those these days...)

Its a coupe, black. Tried posting pic but ssid file too large. Black leather, red deat belts.

Wow, 3.5 E400 whats the mpg on yours? MPG does not worry me to much otherwise i would have purchased something much smaller. Not sure what i will get out of mine, guess lucky at 20 mpg.

As mine is a 2014 would you know if i can use E10 fuel? Or stick with E5.

Im not to worried on sat nav updates as ssid i will look to upgrade aftermarket screen. Not too excessive.
Tyres looked in fair condition i.e dont need to replace just yet.

Service history yes,mixed main dealer and independant and last 3 mot were no advisories but ive never trusted that tbh.

I have a garage i trust who i will get to look over. Its like anything test drive was nice and smooth. Lets see if its smooth ownership.

Despite it being a larger engine, it's supposed to be 'about' the same performance - they dialled back the turbos
I see low to mid 20s around town, high 30s on a run (38 or so) but had 44 on a Sunday morning saunter from Liverpool to Southampton last summer....

E10 is fine
I put in the engine cleaner once in a while, but no issues at all in 18 months
Oh and it can go like stink....

I have had a res delete to allow a little more noise aswell

They're a great car, enjoy!

As above my E400 averaged 34mpg over 12000 miles last year including a lot of European mountain passes. Has on some runs done over 40mpg and some under 30 but decent average. Haven't changed the headunit although I would quite like CarPlay/android auto but make do with updated maps and an iPod.

Mine had Car play from Factory (but I use Android typically)

Fully murdered out Dave...
Use the VIN to get the full factory spec for yours. You might find you have one or the other (or both)

Hi , my C207E400 has the the M276 3.5 litre engine.

The 3.5 variant is a low pressure fuel system and different turbos.

The 3.0 variant is a high pressure fuel system and different different turbos.

I don't travel many miles and always use E5 fuels.

Fuel consumption is better with the 3.5 litre engine.

Regular oil changes are important !
