    W211 with Airmatic - to buy or not to buy?

    Morning all, Very seriously considering buying a 2006 (early facelift) w211 saloon with the airmatic suspension. Only 45,000 miles odd, and many other nice factors about it, but I’m nervous as-hell about the suspension. Grateful for any opinions/experience…… Ta! Adam.

    W211 - wanting softer ride

    Hey all. Currently in W211 E320 CDI saloon 2008. It's an avantgarde model, so (because it has the 17" wheels) is the sports suspension. It's just too hard, and I'm fat and middle-aged and I want something softer. Questions: 1) If i swap it out for the softer "comfort" shocks, as fitted to the...

    E280 CDI Sport - 18" Ride Quality....

    OK noted - thanks. It's more issues around "fowling" I think it's called, but going from 9.2 to 11.9 should be manageable. Actually the car is on a 56 plate - one of the very first of the facelift cars, so its actually 10 years old already, but I'm putting it into an Indy tomorrow to check...

    E280 CDI Sport - 18" Ride Quality....

    I agree - it certainly is the firmness of the sports springs etc - I'm merely looking to find a work-around without swapping all that mechanical stuff out ££££££ so tyres seems to be the obvious place to start. Previous vehicle - Golf MK4 TDI on 15 inch wheels. Crude rear suspension but on very...

    Hi to all - I've just purchased my first MB, a W211 E280 CDI Sport Estate with the 18" 10 spoke design. They look the business, but the ride quality is poor as they are 265/35 (yup......35!!) tyres at the rear which is the main source of the problem Therefore 2 questions: 1) Has anyone else...

    W124 OEM hub-caps

    Hi all - I'm badly colourblind so I need some help please chaps. There seem to be two different colours of OEM W124 plain hub-cups for the steel wheel. One in standard shiny silver, and the other in a very attractive gun-metal grey colour. (both apparently with the very nice circumferential...

    W124 JPY Imports?

    Good afternoon to you all - I'm seriously thinking about pushing the button on a (24K mile!?) pre-facelift 1990 W124 300E. Has anyone in the community got an experience specifically of JPY imported low mileage cars? "Some-say" they come-in as absolute minters, and the jacks fall out of the...
