E63 estate

[Will]

I really like the colour of this one. Why it’s black interior is beyond me as it would look so good in chestnut brown or almond.

Nice enough looking car, but price seems a bit rich for the age and mileage?

Just saw this yesterday, really interesting colour. Not sure how nice it is but just great to see a not silver or black car.

Is it just me or does the s212 really grow on you. I was dead set on a s211 but the more I look the more I want a 212. Unfortunately they are out of my budget so I'm putting my purchase on hold till June ish time so I have save more in the car fun and get a nice 212.

There is a black s212 biturbo on AT at the minute that is a fantastic spec one owner car full MB service history for 22k that I wish I could stretch too. Luckily its miles away so iits not easy to look and get tempted to just buy it anyway lol

I know I wont be moving away from S212 for foreseeable future and if MB continue following the “trends” this will be my last E class model.

It is high price but still nice to see something different.

Fabulous colour, but the red calipers clash horribly

Can’t agree more. But those can be easily painted in yellow

What IS the colour?

Cuprite brown

Cuprite brown

This was for sale only a few months ago and I'm sure it was 3-4k cheaper than this.

Can't say I agree, i personally don't like the exterior colour at all. Could always get a respray to suit the calipers .

It needs a 6.2 engine underneath the bonnet also.

Or even better, an M113K...

Obviously not, 156 is KING -

That estate has a huge spec (even without keyless package) but I would imagine the engine falls into the "M157 timing chain" range which would be something to consider. The VIN would confirm or deny.

I've seen some videos of it and it looks immaculate. I would think it does fall into the timing chain bracket. I asked the seller if there was paperwork for remedial work done and if there was any rattle. Didn't really get an answer re work done but that was over email so I think a phone conversation would be best to find out more detail (or preferably visit in person to have a closer look). He did however say there was no rattle and sent a video of cold start up. I think it will get snapped up unless the mileage puts people off a bit. If it hangs around a bit I will probably go and see it once lockdown is over.

I’m not sure if Keyless Go was even available as an option back then, certainly on the other pre-facelift 212s inc. the earlier 6.2 cars it wasn’t on the price lists and I’ve never seen it on others of that age either.

S211 can have keyless entry and keyless go so don't see why a 212 wouldn't be able too not that I'm that in the know re 212.

Keyless go has been around well before the 211 was even launched, but it wasn’t available on the 212 when it first came out

Huh how strange. Wonder why they chose to omit it from the early 212s. Seems like a backwards step

Never say never... I knew I wouldn't be moving on from the E500, and I wasn't looking for a replacement, but I saw Zero7's CLS Shooting Brake in the Classifieds and was almost instantly smitten, and now it sits on my drive.

Thanks Will. I need to gen up on the W212 spec and option changes!

I think I posted this before, but here’s a 2010 price list with the available options:
