A photo popped up in my Google Photos feed the other day of my E500 on the day I first saw it in Maundrells' showroom. In the five years since it hasn't really missed a beat. I stuck some 18's on in early doors, replaced the rear tyre a couple of years ago, did the rear air bellows last year and that's about it. I bought on 56k IIRC and now it's on 78k-ish.
I took it for a service the other day and, other that front pads it didn't need anything other than the usual filters & fluids. There were a few odd codes stored which the workshop owners suspects might be related to a weak auxiliary battery so I'll go back and get that tested.
Meanwhile I've just had my bonus and, as I might as well hang on to this one, I'm going to treat it to a bit of fettling; the rear bumper is quite badly marked in a few places so I'm to get it resprayed. And I'm going to finally get Comand Online to fit a sub. I've been trialing Tidal for music streaming and thing that that plus the existing system plus a sub would sound awesome (still missing the HK in my 211....)
Here is it just after I cleaned half the Sahara off it last weekend.
