2024 here! We have a 2004 E320 w/225k miles!!! Still on the road! Just passed smog and ready to break necks. Just recently decided to give it some love and keep her going! The interior is just a big hug that one needs in California traffic.

My 06 E350 is like driving therapy. Smooth smooth smooth. A $7, 000 used car that puts a lot of new cars to shame.

I purchased a mint condition '09 E350 4Matic with 33, 000 miles on the clock about 7 months ago for $12, 000. I now have 45, 000 miles, and the car has been perfect. Wonderful car.

I have a 2009 E550 with AMG sports package. It has the 5.5 L V8 engine. Its a great car that I have come to love. The interior is exactly like one of those showed in this video. Browns and cream colors. Exterior is a dark grey metallic. Mine currently has 90k miles and my MB mechanic indicates it should easily last to 200 K or more.

You left out the best aspect of the W211. The 2005-2006 E320 CDI. That was the best motor in that car with sensotronic. One the main reasons to buy a W211 is the CDI, man what a sweet motor. 40mpg with as much torque at the 5.5liter V8. and if you want more just chip it. These motors are easily capable of over 500lbs of torque in stock trim, with the 5 speed auto to handle it. I really love the diesel power, it's so refined to have a motor that can make so much muscle so casually. It's really a better motor then a V8, it's better balanced, the V8 is to big, the inline 6 really is a better source of power in the range that you will realistically be driving the car. The V8 will win in a sustained drag race, but it doesn't matter because the turbodiesel can sustain similar levels of top speed continuoulsy over a long term using much less gas and also in just stop light drag races or in traffic in a shot from 50mph to 110 the diesel has similar acceleration. But yeah if you're the highway travelling a long distance the diesel is a much faster motor then the V8 because it's casually able to give full performance, continuously without using a lot of gas. Plus it runs on biodiesel. And then outside of American you had four options, the 2.2liter inline 4 with 130hp that got over 50mpg, the 2.7and 2.8 liter inline five with 160hp which was a real sweet spot in the range, then the 3.2liter inline 6 which was probably the best engine mercedes ever made, and the very rare 4.0liter V8 with 260hp, with was subsequently outperformed by the later V6's bluetec motors. I'll also say I love sensotronic and nowadays with the warrantee it doesn't matter about reliability, if you buy a car with senostronic and it break mercedes will tow the car to their dealership for free, and fix the system for free, and one they're fixed they're very reliable. Yeah the brake peddle has kind of a plastic like feel, you can see it hard to make micro modulation of brake force, but when you're actually driving the car, sensotronic represents such a performance advantage in braking. It's a shame they gave up on the idea although they continued with it for their commercial trucks where not only have independent control of 4 wheels, but 6 or 8 wheels was an even bigger advantage.

My brother in law gave me a 2004 e500 and I’m just starting to appreciate just how amazing Benz is.

a lot of the stuff applies only to the w211 exported to the states. in europe we had airmatic on the facelifted models. we had dynamic seat as well for the facelift. another thing u forgot to mention that was a huge part of the w211 range... diesels. they sold probably 3 times more diesels in w211 than petrol.

this is awesome actually restoring my w211 this summer i have a w212 but something about the 11 is just timeless

Great video FCP! Thanks for breaking down the 211s for us.

Excellent video clarifying what engine and feature is in what year and model, without having to spend hours on old forums! Thanks!

The w211 CDI w/ om648.961 inline 6 (last of iron block) diesel engine was the BEST car I ever owned by far & I'm on the hunt for another one. The SBC brakes failed on me @ highway speed (not fun) so glad to see MBUSA step up with 25 yr. coverage on those. A rare feature to look for & covet after is a passenger side fold down rear seat that will allow for long items like fishing poles to pass through the trunk into passenger compartment. Dynamic seats are nice feature also.
