Mercedes-Benz W212 E-Class History and Overview: Design, models, and overview! 

It would be important to mention that the W212 Sedan was drawn in the summer of 2006, I know the person personally who smoothed out the first drawing from three sides by hand and a ruler.G was the draftsman, he could hardly believe where he saw it that it actually existed.

The restyle came out in some markets in 2013. I have an Australian restyle W212 of 2013. I prefer the restyle. But it’s a matter of personal taste.

Always the pre-facelift.

I have a 2013 w212 e350. 302hp magnificent car. I changed the rims to 18" from 17 with 245/ 40 tyres and it rides beautifully. I really live it

OUTSTANDING ...

Got my 2012 bluetec e350 a month ago on 172k miles. It’s still runs amazing

I have a 2012 E 350. It is as reliable as a Toyota Camry.

nice video and information, i have had them all since the W123! I did hang onto my 211 with 113K motor and my 212 with 156 motor - those cars i will keep till my grave

W212- The greatest generation ever

Great video! Thank you I have 2012 e63 wagon, p30='S' package w/ceramic bks. Currently at 142k and happy and reliable.

just picked up a 2010 e350 m272 and i love it so far !! only 77k miles. doesnt seem to have anything wrong yet, taking it to a shop for a full inspection sometime this week

Very good informative video on the E-Class. I have a W212 2016 E400 and the car is truly amazing. Handles very nicely with absolutely no issues at all.

2015 E400…absolutely love this car

Nice thanks happy holidays 🙏❤️😇

I have a 2011 E350 V6 M272 engine. It's been good so far. I had to fix minor things like the window regulator and some sensor by the front radiator. I was able to do spark plugs myself (torqued to spec), it was a breeze on this car. I did take it in for and transmission fluid change (when it hit about 104K miles)...an't do that yourself because you need special equipment to put it back in at a specific temperature. But overall this car has been good! 115k miles, running strong.

This was an informative and insightful video. I have the 2011 S212 that's running strong with 96K. Hoping to drive this for another decade!

I’ve got which l think is the best looking aggressive version, a silver pillar less 2011 CDi E350 AMG coupe version with the angled running lights and @ 38,000 miles it still looks brand new and like a million dollars 🤔 This version looks far better and more finished than the facelift which has the straight running lights and the big openings at the front

Interesting.

Am planning to get a used 2012-13 E250. can someone advice what i should expect.

This model of Mercedes E class suffers from failure of the rear subframe due corrosion, Mercedes replaced mine free of charge, the car also suffers from it plastic manifold cracking which puts the car into limp mode, my rear brake disc dust covers have vanished due corrosion, one gets silly messages which clear on the subsequent engine start. You must keep on top of maintenance i change my oil every 4000 miles, The engine oil cooler should also be changed as you approach 80k ( miles) With the coolant flushed too, As for the gearbox i don't trust the sealed for life , and would replace the fluid filter every 80,000 miles. Apart from that the car has presence and is a very good drive when everything is working, beware the subframe failure when it occurred caused the back end of the car to swing, the subframe corrodes from the inside so it cannot be seen.

And i got w212 E200 taxi😂

Yup already subscribed

I'm looking for this kind of front bumper. Any person who might know where I can order for one?

212 was from late 08-16 update was in 2013

e class AMG or CLS WAGON

J D PMower. 😂

I have one and it's constantly giving me trouble. both nox sensors changed, dpf filter changed, both batteries seem to only last two years, now reading collision prevention assist plus inoperative warning. have had engine management light come on three times for no apparent reason, no fault found. auxiliary battery warning coming up intermittently even after the battery changed. Bought this car (e220 bluetec) at 4 years old with only 78,000 kilometres on the clock and i'd happily burn it to the ground...utter junk. Had an Audi A4 before this for 6 years, put 80k on it and not a single problem. I'll be going back to Audi as soon as i get rid of this lump of scrap.

Too bad engine quality plummeted after the M113 -- there's no comparison, and it isn't even close. The M113 powered W211 E-class cars are better in almost every respect: Quality, design, longevity, durability, reliability, safety.
