This guy has had every car I've wanted to get since I got my drivers licence a few years ago. First with Audi TT, then I bought a 1series partly because of him and now I'm looking to buy an E350 coupe and guess what, this guy had it three years ago. Wild.

Music is too loud!! You don’t need to change the oil so often with diesels..you can double the mileage of gas engines, you’re throwing away good oil

[@BD-vm5nn]

Mat, well done for doing the car up. I use to do this when I was younger on my Ford Mondeo Mark 3 it's great learning curve into self car mechanics.

[@MatArmstrongbmx]

Cheers man! Yeah great fun man can become expensive tho 😂😂

[@deancowley8045]

You are lucky, I’ve got an E500 Coupe and it’s cost me a shagging fortune in repairs over the 4 years I’ve owned it. Love the care but expensive when things go wrong. I’ve replaced head gasket seals oil sump seals, radiator, roof retracting blind, drive shaft bearings, alternator, the list goes on............

[@hmubaslat1]

You’re right Dean, After owning couple of V8 German cars, also couple of V6s, I can say that from my experience, the V8s are sooo expensive to maintain, however, the V6s are very reliable and easy to keep running, I’ve been driving a beautiful E350 for a year now and didn’t have to spend a dime besides the regular service.

[@baronmunchausen645]

Hold on, is it the same gen? I thought all these issues were more common on w211

[@JimyOfficial]

@@hmubaslat1 are the v6 way more reliable?

[@thrillsbreh]

How much have you spent on repairs? And how much milleage your car has? Sorry to bother im just looking to buy one

[@deancowley8045]

@@thrillsbreh The car only had 50,000km so not really that much. I spent >$15,000 USD in repairs over the 4 years I owned the car. Admittedly European cars are expensive to maintain here in HK where I live, but the point I’m making is about the reliability and amount of repairs, not so much about the cost. Great car though, loved owning and driving it, a lot of fun.

[@paulwhiteley2957]

I've the e350 AMG premium bluetec 2016 and the 19 inch AMG alloys are shocking ! These have buckled or broken £735 for 1 to replace from MB! The parking break kept sticking and wouldn't release without putting your foot behind it n lifting it .MB wanted nearly £800 to replace it when all it wanted was a massive dose of WD40 on the spring mechanism and some manipulation.Make sure you get the automatic gear box oil changed at 50k miles £350. Make sure you get some good quality tyres or the back end gets squirrelly in corners on roundabouts n junctions at least £170 a tyre on back axle. Don't over fill the bluetec if it says low 15litre should do it max .if overfilled it throws a wobbler !! O by the way you cannot read how much is left in the bluetec tank ,very clever NOT .no sight glass on tank or reading on dash 😂 I get 29mpg knocking around and had as good as 48/50mpg on motorway.

Yo man thanks! Alloys are from a C63 they are 8.5j front 9.5j rear with no spacers i love them! Yeah lowering the car wasn't to hard just make sure you have a good spring compressor!

I want this car pretty bad lol. Currently there are offers to buy it for about 12500 EUR (a bit short of 11k pounds), mind you that is with fuller packages, but diesel engines. Good deal? For me it looks like they are going to retain their value pretty well, such a classic car when you really look at how it was built.

Comparing this to a E250 which would be better? I Just sold my A4 B8 3.0TDI V6 and looking into getting a E class but stuck between two worlds in choosing a E250 or E350, id appreciate any suggestions

[@TALEX-07]

The E250 (2.2tdi) cdi its Biturbo and also a new engine from MB from what I know, and the timing chain is mounted to the back of the engine what can be quite expensive to do anything on this engine, practically you need to take out the hole engine to do something on it. Just my opinion I rather choose the E350 (3.0tdi) than the E250... smaller amounts of running cost I think (because this engine is old, and it's proofed to be reliable) and the most important it gives you much more fun! :)

Hey man, thanks for the videos. I'm considering a V6 E class coupe, but I was leaning towards the petrol engine. Have you got any information whether to go with diesel or petrol engine? P.s. not really worried about additional fuel consumption.. Thanks

[@ModeSarka]

And two more questions: 1) How does the painted front grill look after some time? 2) Are you actually allowed in the UK by law to tint the front windows by 55%? I really love the way it looks, but wasn't sure if that's not a problem?

[@MatArmstrongbmx]
