2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 Review - Get Ready To Sell Your BMW

[@johncurtis8449]

I just purchased in June 2019. A pre certified 2016 e350 with the AMG features. Didn’t have a clue as to how good/bad it would be. OMG this vehicle is outstanding, astounding. Honestly I’m beside myself regarding my decision. Every time I go to drive this beauty I can’t help but smile with pure joy.

[@PrimePerspectivee]

Congrats on the new car bro! Am tryna get one too. What do you like most about it?

[@daveonisom3730]

John curtis does it have the ambient lights in the front? kind of led looking. please reply

[@johncurtis8449]

Yes it has ambient lights.

[@SpeeeedyG]

John curtis it’s a fun car but I hate the transmission shifts. And it’s underpowered. I suspect a 550 will be a bit better.

[@davidli1331]

You did great, I also got a 2016 e350, the last year before the re-design and the best!

[@6061Blake]

I own a Mercedes Benz 2014 E350, and it is by far the best vehicle I've ever owned! Elegant, sporty, , and fun to drive!

[@herrporschex]

is it reliable? and what are the costs to keep it on the road when warranty runs out.

[@26juventus]

Rob Rob that’s why I bought a maintenance plan when I bought my e350 saved me a lot of money by doing that because I knew maintenance costs were going to be expensive

[@SpeeeedyG]

Rob Rob I have the same car. Very reliable. 4matic is even more reliable.

[@aliwarraich5332]

SG I'm looking at e300 2016 with 80000 kms changing it for 2012 x5 35i which is a HORRIBLE car never again bmw unless I can afford brand new you think this car can go up to 200000 kms with out major repairs? im asking because I heard e class 2014 to 2016 could be problematic

[@SpeeeedyG]

ali warraich they will go for a long time. Granted you take care of the regular maintenance and don’t skimp out on anything it needs.

[@MTobin1000]

I can understand why you want to personally buy this car. Very elegant and straight forward. Class, Class, Class !!

[@carbuzzcom]

Yeah, this car really surprised me, especially its interior. Two words: Love. It.

[@pacotaco4859]

MTobin1000 hi

[@garretthu2466]

Thanks, I bought one. Appreciate the cool and detailed review. A lot of people talk too much before getting into the meat of the review and I like how you just jump in respecting the time of your viewers! Thank you.

[@r_x004]

I currently own this exact same model 3rd hand.. I have to admit the interior is quickly deteriorating and showing signs of age even though i'm so delicate with it.. the arm rest leather cracked and the mechanism of the sliding storage unit is faulty now its stuck... most of the buttons are chipped which is annoying :( sunroof mechanism also failed recently

[@malcolm702]

I bought a 2014 last month a love it!! And it came with all the extras... Rims, back spoiler, tinted windows, ground effects and more.

[@johncurtis8449]

My suggestions. If you haven’t owned a Mercedes-Benz. I strongly suggest an E class. First timers you won’t regret your decision. Personally I was very lucky to find an E350 w/sport AMG accents. Honestly I test drove a white w/black interior, wasn’t so impressed. For me the white w/beige interior. It’s classy, elegant, plenty pizzazz. Excellent sound system. Options galore. Very happy.

[@willhedgecock1598]

You’re really not that lucky at all the best one is the luxury package and that one is hard to find in the US

[@rommelgallego2943]

Would love to get a 2016 wagon soon… I currently owned the 2015 ML350 and loving it. I think nothing beats NA engines for reliabilities compared to turbos.

[@bossegibby]

Just bought my first ever MB, 2016 E350 sports wagon one owner only 47k miles. It’s an absolute joy to drive! Shocked I never gave MB a chance before.

[@realgato4641]

Bought same car for a daily. It has sport package black exterior, interior, black amg wheels 101k miles for $13k. Never owned an german car before. I’m surprised how smooth this car rides. Gets me better mileage that my 4 cylinder wrx that averages 15mpg 🤣. Decided to get a w212 since this generation looks conservative or elegant as you mentioned not over stylish as the newer ones. This cars depreciate so much over the years, my 14’ wrx which was half the msrp new of this car is worth more to this date unbelievable.

[@SailingEast]

Hi, The E350 is an excellent vehicle. However, the E250 Bluetec 4Matic is everything the E350 is with one important difference : Twice (2X) the fuel mileage, nearly a 900+ mile range at 50+ MPG. I just purchased an E250 4Matic and drove it up and down the Rockies from Salt Lake City Utah to Colorado Springs, Colorado, averaging 51 MPG. And yes, I do have pictures to prove it. Best, David

[@kevinowen8155]

David Simmons I had a 2015 E250 Bluetec and I still have a 2011 E350. That Diesel kicks ass. That car is faster than my E350. By the way I used E250 for Limousine service. It’s a superb car. I put 128,000 miles on it in about 2 1/2 years.

[@l-n-s356]

I have the 2015 E300 bluetec hybrid is an excellent car. Its has the E250 diesel engine and its hybrid. Also the full LED headlight package. Its excellent on fuel. Although I think I will like the V6 just because it's naturally aspirated.

[@SpeeeedyG]

@@l-n-s356 They’re good until the repairs come in. Diesels are incredibly expensive

[@l-n-s356]

@@SpeeeedyG its 2020 I hardly had any significant repairs just the usual mount replacements thats all. Even if i get expensive repairs in the future I already used it for a good 4 years now.

[@Themanfromglad]

GREAT video man. I just bought a 2011 W212 that is almost the same car as this. I love it, it’s an awesome car in every way !

[@mastermix1059]

does the e350 2016 glove compartment also serves as a refrigerator where you can cool a drink or warm it?

True this car would make you sell you 5 series they nailed this car it’s still a head turner

[@jshannon5771]

I'd like to say the styling is like a well tailored business suit. It's not flashy or boastful just fit and stylish.

[@jamespieske5246]

It's pretty funny every time an American reviewer mentions the Cadillac as a vehicle in competition with the big 3 Germans. GM Ha!

[@davidli1331]

yes, Cadillac is junk, just ask Consumer Reports

[@rufaimuhammadaminu6873]

How do you compare GERMAN vs others cars in area of ✋ handling more especially on highway,high speed and durability.

[@lorrainemoland5771]

Why does the left side mirror light is on please respond quickly

[@nme700]

Not sure where you got your information, but for model year 2016, all E class sold in the US (from their 4 cylinder to their biturbo v8) only comes with 7 speed transmission.

Nice review, I got the 2015 E350 Sport in Alpine White. By far the best car I have owned. Also one of the best value when you are looking at preowned. Can pick one up certified pre owned from a MB dealer for 50% of new retail. I do not like the command center however, it’s just not user friendly enough in modern times. The option cost thousands so I am wondering why it cost so much when a $1000 iPhone can do so much much more. Way faster to use the phone gps and the voice recognition sucks.

[@methunshow]

Garrett Hu Mbrace at about $280.00 a year you can send destination to the Nav from your phone or computer. With other features along with the app, but manual input into the Nav is cumbersome.

[@texasyank48]

I have a 2014 e350 Sport trim. Bought it coming off lease as a CPO in 2016. It had 14k miles when I bought it, has 79k now. Actually bought it from Walnut Creek BMW. I enjoy it, but it has not been trouble-free and I doubt I’ll buy another MB. I’ve spent thousands on things that should not break: driver seat cushion heater, motor for the tilt/telescope steering wheel, sensor for the hands-free trunk release, and have had to replace the auxiliary battery 3 times. It has an oil leak, and the dealer tells me the engine and transmission mounts are going bad. I’ve owned a couple of Acuras and drove them well over 200k miles without unexpected repairs.

[@dionis_rexhepi9998]

It is diesel?

[@denzyzars9508]

Already bought one 2 days ago

[@adegbayiaina]

Does the Push start button come as a standard option on the E350? I m working on closing out on one before the week runs out. The one I checked just had the smart key.

[@SpeeeedyG]

No, that’s the keyless go option. Some can be retrofitted if it has the modules.

[@adegbayiaina]

SG Many thanks for your response. Got the car already from a different dealership and it had every option on it like I wanted. ✌️

E class way better if u can get the luxury Then put some new rims on it I’m not gonna lie the rims on the luxury are ugly

[@thenobelswipegoatnobleswip771]

Germans do it the best

[@nero2zero1]

Sport package just adds rear lip spoiler no “body kit” unfortunately

[@invincible201xxx]

And exhaust tips, more aggressive side skirts and a front lip

[@SpeeeedyG]

Actually it’s an entirely different aero kit. Front bumper rear bumper side skirts grilles, wheels and exhaust tips. It also has the sport button that the luxury model doesn’t.

[@CPA003]

sadly the 2016 is the last year of the naturally aspirated V6 :(

[@shellcasing1040]

No push button start?

[@marthaj67]

It *does* have a push-button start.

[@TheLanard]

It costs extra.

[@iroquoisplissken3583]

Shell Casing push button start is standard an all 2014 and up. You can remove it by hand and use the keys instead, so some people just choose not to use it.

[@georgemedina3712]

Iroquois Plissken

[@georgemedina3712]

Not true ..on the e350 push button is not standard.. You have to acquire the keyless go option ....I believe standard in the e400

[@acherouvis]

There great cars until it comes time to pay for maintenance and repairs.Average oil change and tire rotation $200, run flats tires $300+, terrible resale value. Once the warranty is up, time to sell.
