Why You NEED To Buy A Mercedes 

You don´t get different tail lights depending on the styleing edition. The different tail lights are because of different manufacturing dates of the car. Between 2002 and 2006 the lights were the older ones with separated transparent bars. Between 2006 and 2009 the transparent bars turned into one transparent middle section. This was for all cars.

Dude, you made the best review on the RU-vid for this car.

The "tunnel mode" 's main feature is it recycles the cabin air, for example if the car in front of you is emitting a lot of smoke

I'm driving 2006 model with V6 petrol engine with avantgarde. Amazing how this old car can still look so nice. MB knows how to make timeless design!

i had a '03 E320 now i have a '03 E320 Sport and i love the W211. Always get compliments on my car and so many coworkers have offered to buy it off me. Never will though id take a used W211 over a camry any day 🔥

Market car the type of guy that pranks his friends by lowering their headrest

My friend just bought a '04 e400 cdi and gotta be honest its the best car ive ever ridden in. It also made mw want a w211 badly and now im in love with the w211 platform.

Mine has been in my family for nearly 21 years. My dad bought it new. 76.000 miles. I still love it. I have an Audi A5 S line but my E220 is my favourite

I have watched so many videos on this car and I can see that you did a lot of research as there were a lot of things and quirks mentioned in your video I have not seen anywhere else, great job.. please keep posting.

Great review. I've owned 5 E Classes and currently have 2 and you still taught me something. Thank you.

W211 superb car and timeless design

Loved hearing about the history of the car, you can really see how amazing it was for it's time, and even still holds up now. Also really cool how you included your own buisiness cards, really shows you care :))) Can't wait to see what you do next!

best video yet! the car has so many quirks and you present them so well! keep going ❤

Absolutely amazing video! Your showing me things about my W211 E320 CDI that I've never known before. keep up the good work!

I would personally recommend the E320 with Gasoline+LPG GAs or a E320 CDI ( only with OM 648.961 engine) with the automatic gearbox. It's like a Tank. You can't go wrong with this version. But attention! This version only came with automatic gearbox and it never had 4matic (4x4) setup! If you find a E320 CDI with 4matic and or manual transmission, stay away from it. I managed to get over 840.000km with it before my insurance totaled it after an accident but I'm currently looking again for the E320 CDI or the E320 Gasoline version with LPG Gas injection (Best gasoline engines for the E320 are M112.949 V6 224hp and M112.954 V6 224 which is a great alternative since it came with 4matic)

Im interested in W211 and this video makes me want it even more, dang it!!!!

few mistakes but its okay , a few things that seem general are not actually general for example the starting ( the pulse on the key without holding that was not acctually available on classic or elegance models ) , the sbc is not actually that bad if it breaks , it will be expensive but it doesnt cut the breaks just so you know it has 2 backups 1 is your emergency brake which most likely doesnt hold which is typical mercedes also you have a mecanical break , so when the pump goes in any state of error which can be a pump failure or a cilinder /brake line failure it will disable completly and it will switch to the mecanical version which a small master cilinder pushing brake fluid in to the front wheels braking sistem and only the front with about 20% of the maximum power that the pump would of produce and that also helps a lot because its not loosing the rest of the fluid by disabling the pump because the rear wheels have some issues with pipes and they corrode and break which is common on mercedes of that era and they took that in consideration in my oppinion with only having brakes in the front as a backup ,also the trunk is not automatic is spring loaded and the latch is electronic and that was only on sedans where the estates didnt have that option nor the button on key or door but instead on estate you had soft close , also yours is smoking quiet a bit looks like injectors because its black , sbc s is not available for all of them aswell no matter the trim level i own a very well spec avantgarde with even the dynamic driver seat with the pulsing option like an old massage and well on mine sbc s doesnt actually exist was never part of the enabled features it can be enabled being only part of the module but its not by factory . also the cluster had 3 designs classic one is the one you didnt show which is like the elegance but missing the chrome accent , and you can retrofit the cls ones which are similar in design but looks way cooler and more retro , on top of that many were optionals not standard so all w211 are very different in configuration even with the same trim level from textile seats to leather seats with heating in the front and rear seats too , options for 7 seats on the estate and many many more , also the gearbox had w/s on some where on other c/s which was actually read by many comfort /sport (btw thats bs if you ever put a tester on it the gearbox only reads w/s which stands for winter and summer) also is a very slow gearbox having an open torque converter which can make all gears slip for the sake of comfort sometimes making it feel like a cvt and its kinda annoying if you hate cvt like me :)) also if you would have the 4 zone climate control you will curse your days because it goes all the way to 12 degrees celsius which means a much more expensive ac compressor and when i say much more expensive i mean 3 times the price of the 2 zone climate control to keep that in mind ..... btw i have the 4 zone climate control its not fun when the ac compressor breaks... also on the estate they have a very nice self leveling rear being on air bags well all i can say is the bags last pretty well but the compressor is a pain , its not expensive if its only the standard one but sometimes it will make you blame the bags and those are expensive , if you have the airmatic front and back then the compressor is much more expensive and so are bags in the front as they come with the shock absorber and many other details about these cars , they are great cars still decent on economy but a pain in the ass when anything breaks .

This was so good, perfectly informative without being too long. Amazing content.

I really love my W211 (2006 E350) We had different trim levels and engines here in the US, but it's a lovely car to drive. It certainly doesn't feel like it's pushing up on 20 years old! Great video!

Amazing video brother!! Well done, keep it up! And greetings from Bulgaria!

very comprehensive review , feature i didnt even know existed , fairplay to you . keep up the good work

Great review, i really like cars from this era of automotive industry. They are built so well... Keep up the good work! ✌

Wow I've had three of these all estates and all avant-garde and yet you still managed to teach me 2 new toys! I think I should go read the manual, cheers buddy.

Great review, reminded me of some good old times. Good luck on your channel. Greetings from Albania

Absolutely Amazing video! Thanks bro! I drive E350 2006 year model avantgarde, and still it is the best car I have had. I even didn’t know that tunnel mode and sbc s, Amazing❤

Got the E320 Avantgarde with pano roof. I love everything about this car, especially the SBC system. Best car ever for me, still drives and looks better than most other.

Wow! Props for making such an in-depth and great video. I hope you gain the followers you deserve :)

This is THE best E-Class review in RU-vid. I haven’t come across any others that show the features like you do. Some excellent features too!Thanks for showing them. I’m looking at buying an E320 CDi estate, so these will be useful. The only thing I don’t like is that apparently they don’t have any cup holders in the front! I’m sure there will be an adapter of some sort on eBay though.

One of the timeless machines produced ever!. Still enjoying my W211 E240. Thinking of going diesel now.

Bought my friends 2007 e220cdi in 2019. It had 164,000 miles on the clock , it cost 1,300gbp. I ran it for three years and sold it in 2022 for 1500gbp with 194,000 miles on the clock . These cars are the best of the best, I used it to close my business , carry all my stock and take rubbish to the council tip, I worked it into the ground and it ran beautifully and was amazing . Now I've retired and moved to a small cottage in the country , it was too large for me , but 10 out of 10 , the best car you can get

I have a 2005 W211. Nothing gone wrong in years, still runs like new

I have the e220 07 model bought new in 07 only 77k miles still drives like new only use it for holidays brilliant car

You really deserve more subs! Really good video. You just earned a sub

Well done brate, videos are professional from the get-go and you got a nice approach to everything. Also your accent is really good, doesnt tear up the ears like many others from this region. Keep the vids up!

I have the same car with the same engine; it has 314k km on it right now and runs perfectly. Super comfortable and still frugal. Best car I ever bought.

great detailed review!

As an enthusiastic owner of a 2005 W211 E350 AvantGarde, thank you for this superb video--one of the best, even showing features of the SBC that I didn't know. These W211 cars are awesome--this is why I still drive one as the car approaches 20 years of age. At 7:54 we see one of the potential faults of the series. If over exposed to sunlight and heat (as happens here in Australia) you'll find the stitched seams at the top edge of the rear seats deteriorates and splits--and interior headlining can begin to detach from its base (fixed with discrete spiral pins which help prevent ongoing deterioration). Exterior rubber trim below the windscreen (replaced for $850Au), secondary trim underneath at the boot edges and at the base of the side windows also degrades. I therefore now garage my 350 under cover. Before the E350 I owned the brilliant W124 300E--selling it when it was age 28. The 300E had no such upholstery or rubber issues and shows that the E-Class suffered in build quality under the period of Chrysler's ownership of Daimler-Benz. BTW, loved the gutsy sound of the small turbodiesel, something I never expected :-)

I can agree with every point you mentioned. One of the best quality cars Mercedes has built. I love my E 240 and hope I can drive it for a long time.

Front bumper is painted in diferent color entirely you can see from a kilometer away

My dad has a E 500 with Designo leather and designo extended leather package. That was a very rare and expensive (I think around €5,000) option when the car was new. Everything is leather with beautiful stitching on it. The dash, door panels etc .

Believe it or not, I have it as E 400 CDI Avantgarde. Original AMG package outside, Designo Style inside.

Every one wants a Benz, but it's the little things that get to you, sensors going wrong, interior trim falling apart, mirrors not working & the list goes on, which if u not careful can be expensive to fix especially if u can't find 2nd hand parts.

Nice video,man,usefull!Can you bring the S/CL,the model between 2001-2005?Thanks!

Love that! Btw anyone from Serbia pls plug my guy in with w124, we need a review on this classic piece 💯

nice video! just bought a e220 today! after some bad bmw experiances...

Yup last year bought 2.2cdi soo happy

This car is king of all cars 💯🔥👑

11:41 I have a version with folable back seats. You fold the seats up, and the back down forwards, if that make sense. I have transported a whole ikea kitchen in that car.😊

I have E320 2004 modem still in great condition. We bought it back in 2015.

Never buy these first ones. Buy the 170ps 220cdi W211. A lot less headache. And with chiptuning 200ps possible.The pre facelift can't get that much power.

I recenrtly bougt a e320cdi v6 almost full option awesome car :)

How you compare it to the BMW E39 regarding interior build quality, driving experience... and ultimately, which one would you choose and why? Keep up the good work!

Love it, what are you thoughts about the C class 2007-2013 models, in the market for one at the moment actually. Subscribed pozdrav from 🇲🇰

I have a 2004 E270cdi,its. Outstanding❤

Really nice car bro. In my language , Urdu, we have a saying that goes along the lines of "a man without a moustache has nothing". Keep up the good work, God bless!

1:37 Those aren‘t the Elegance backlights, those are the standard facelift backlights that every trim version had. Also the chrome you mentioned came with the Elegance trim. In general, the Elegance trim is top notch and most luxurious. Avantgarde is just there for sportiness.

the button is not a tunnel mode it is to stop the air from entering the cabin and filter the dust

The folding rear seats are an option on my W211 Limousine..

I had one but when it got to being about 10 years old it started to go wrong quite a bit. Very complex car to have when older. Newest is now 15 years old and is a heap of problems about to happen. Yes they can do 300k miles but time catches up on them.

Happy New Year everyone! 🎉 I’m setting a goal for this channel to reach 5,000 subscribers by the end of this year. You know what to do to help! 😉 Thank you!! 😁

Bro i have a question I have changed both batteries of my mercedes e280 But the battery red message is not going what should i do now

hey, can you try to find any CLS C218 to show?

I buy a E270 CDI 90.000km this car its amazing

Odličan video. Molim te mi reci kako imaš tako dobar naglasak dok pričaš engleski, u čemu je tajna?

Someone give a w140 to this guy, just to know what a real cool mercedes looks like

Does your car have a Isofix System in the rear seats?

in the USA the gear shifter has C/S Comfort & Sport the ante pkg comes with real leather which explains why the doors have that ugly look. almost ALL sport packages and AMG packages P1 & P2 it comes with BENZtex interior looks brand new even tho the outside dosent.

10:43 W/S button. Mine says C/S 😮

My elegance had droppable rear seats, weird how an upper trim wouldnt

I have a 2007 e550 ...gorgeous car. fast

me to the back seat: *pushes button* "you lose headrest priveledges"

320 cdi 2003 here

Thoughts on a '04 E500 wagon?

From a w211 user, the manual version is way better, specially if you have the e220 facelift or the e280 (the highest engine version you can have with the manual gearbox). e220 facelift do 0-100 in 8.4/8.6s

I'm thinking about buying a e280 2007 is in perfect condition

Allways going to have Mercedes and Smart cars ❤

W210 Looks the best imo

That's is my favorite ever car

Have the 220cdi in a CLK, neah... just get the v6 or R6 CDI, when you really start to work the 220cdi, got same mpg and no power... all sounding like a tractor :))

I recommend Mercedes to my enemies and Lexus to my friends. 😂

I have watched only 5 minutes and already found 2 errors. When you were showing elegance/classic tail lights you showed facelift tail lights, which came out in 2006 for all trims. The same is for instrument cluster. It is not about the trim, it is about the facelift. The black instrument cluster is the facelift one.

Lots of quirks.

Al' volim voziti ovog u Mercedes-Benz World Racing 😀

the windows all go down so on a hot day you can air it out.... with panoramic roof its really a side to see.

Youre just missing the "THIS is a..." in the intro

what a shame that the pre-2006 model are really unreliable because of the sbc. and it cost thousands to fix

The car sounds like my 1999 passat b5

The problem is when these 2 liter diesel executive cars become cheap, it will inevitably attract people who won't give a fuck about servicing them properly...and then they put in on sale, to pass it around to another "lucky" owner...

im watching you from indonesia

Odličan video al zašto u miljama govoriš, drži se ti kilometara na sat, a milje stavi u zagrade, znam da pucaš na globalno al opettt, imamo mi svojih jedinica za potrošnju, brzinu.... Pozz

Too bad its not the face lifted version, wich is agian much better looking than this one.

BIGEST PROBLEM SBC AND ELECTRIC ITY

I got this same engine but in wagon version... and with 6 speed manual and elegance trim. That was the main reason why i bought it 5 years ago. However there is 1 problem with the manual and wagon combo, the final drive ratio. As the wagon is ment to carry stuff the germans decided to fit it with 2.87 ratio differential with the 4 cylinder diesels. In 5 cylinder 270 cdi and 280cdi V6 it was 2.65. Sedans had 2.65 for the smaller engines and 2.47 for the rest. This just kills all the economy in the higways. In my country the maximum speed limit is 120 km/h and at that speed the revs are 2400 rpm, too much for the diesel. The best cruising speed is at 80 km/h where the revs are around 1600 rpm and real fuel economy ~5 - 5.5L/100 km. Planning to swap for that 2.47 diff. Should drop to more pleasent ~2000 rpm at 120 km/h. Other thing that i would like is ventilated seats. I got heated only but leather gets very hot during summer. Also if you car don't have that cd-changer, the slot is used for storage. My dad has 212 wagon with same version engine, allthough completely new engine itself the OM651. Things i prefer in 212: 2 step cruise. 2 positions to increase speed. Either 1 km/h or if you push a bit further then 10 km/h increase. You can close the tailgate from the button in driver's door rather than just open. Smaller turning radius Things i don't prefer in 212 All the rest

Avoid the later W213 which I own. Quality is crap.

That steering wheel looks covered. That leather isn’t the original.

well if i need to give me money

I have a 3.2 Quattro S4 bruh I've been in a lot of Mercedes cars but I'll take Audi over Mercedes any day

first

SVILAJNAC BATO

I really like Mercedes, but damn this generation of E-Class is just so insanely ugly
