I have the same car and today fitted my 16 inch steel wheels which have Bridgestone winter tyres on them. Went to Buy cheap tyres online @ Mytyres.co.uk - tyre dealer for car and budget tyres and have used them several times - good value and fast and German!
I too have the same car as the original poster and have a set of 16 inch steel wheels with Nankang SV2 winter tyres 225/55/16 99V XL. They gave me no problems at all last year and whilst we only had a day of snow they gripped well in the wet and on dry colder days.
The steelies are painted...
I have a 2007 E320cdi Sport Estate and have 16" steel wheels with no spacers (ET42) that I got from mytyres in readiness for the winter last year. They are fine and clear the calipers with ease.
Full spec for 16 inch wheels: 7½ x 16 5 x 112.00 x 66.50 ET42 with 225/55/16 tyres. If you find...
Yep these are the standard Merc alloy wheels for a W211 Sport as I have one with 265/35/18s on the back (9J) and 245/40/18s on the front (8.5J).
With tyres this set nearly went for £700:-

I have just sold on ebay a set of steel wheels with 16 inch Bridgestone winter tyres. They were 7J x 16 inch and ET37. They went fine on my E250cdi Sport and cleared the calipers with ease and with no need for spacers. They really made the car driveable as in snow with the 18 inch AMGs on the...
Just rung my local Kwik Fit (Bletchley) who confirmed £44.95 for an oil and flilter change using Mobil 1 229.5 spec and it needs 8 litres of the stuff! As the manager said - it costs more to buy just the oil and they drain it via the sump plug apparently.
It was actually the seats in the main. Had tan colour non-sports seats fitted and found the support in the base/thighs made a long drive quite uninspiring! W211 seats seem to be a lot better. Also the E320cdi to me handles more sharply in the bends and is quicker to steer. Finally, whilst...
My W211 E320cdi (09/2007) is also due a service B in 3,500 miles. Mileage will then be around 58,000.
Milton Keynes (Sytner) have quoted £360 for the service plus a fuel filter at £102 and it will also be due a brake fluid change (done every 24 months) which comes in at £61. Total is...
I have just changed my W212 2009 E250cdi Sport to a W211 2007 E320cdi Sport and have had a remap from Simon Coe (CCC Tech) who has done a number of cars for me (E300TD, E320cdi x 2 and a VW Golf TDi). BHP is up to 264 and torque goes up to 590Nm (original numbers are 224 and 510). Never had a...
Having just done my year-end accounts/paperwork I note that diesel in Jan cost locally £1.099 and now it's £1.289 - a whopping rise of 17%. It will go up even further following the duty and VAT rise - tax on tax!!:mad:
I would concur with what has been said already - no need for any form of insurance let alone compulsory Road Traffic Act cover. He may have been offered third party and accidental damage cover by the retailer otherwise if negligence is established (little doubt here) he is liable for the damage...
How would I find out if a 2009 W212 E250cdi Blue Efficiency (204bhp) with new injectors (!) could be 'sorted'? Have emailed the company via their site but have yet to hear. As am in Leighton Buzzard, Banbury would be good for me.
Well my Oct 09 E250cdi was booked in to have new injectors fitted at Hughes Aylesbury on Tuesday 27 April following a letter from MB HO. Went to see a client in Lincoln on Thursday and guess what? Got back into it at 4.30pm and one of the injectors must have popped and the engine management...
I have a E250cdi which is due to have new injectors next Tue at Hughes in Aylesbury. Not broken down yet and the injectors it has are in the dodgy series of numbers (Oct 09 build)!
My 5 speed auto gearbox has a Sport setting and has always provided that - gear changes are at a higher rev and...
The 6 cylinder petrols and diesels have a gear change 'indicator' stalk so there's more space in the middle where the selector would normally go.
My E250cdi Sport is up to 4,700 miles (the injectors have not yet gone!) and I have done no more than 41mpg even though I am not putting my foot...
