Buying Used E200 Coupe Question (Singapore)

Hey guys!

New to this forum, been deciding between the C and E coupe for awhile, finally decided to go with the E coupe. Here's the one I'm looking at:

Only thing is, it doesn't come with a sunroof which i really like Has anyone installed a aftermarket sunroof with good/bad results?

Please don't put an aftermarket sunroof on a Benz... it's just not done and you'll spoil your car's value. If you want a sun roof it's better to get one with it already speked on the car. I'm a mad modder and I would never do that to my Benz : )

oh wow, look at that... i never knew the e coupe was available without a panoramic sunroof. are you not able to find one with the original pano roof in the market? i wouldn't install an aftermarket sunroof. if you like this car because of the red leather interior, i would keep on searching for a car with the oem pano roof and play with the interior, instead. have you seen the ones with the espresso brown interiors?

E200 Coupe
hillcreative, mo11,

Thanks for your responses! I guess that aftermarket sunroof is a real bad idea haha. For the espresso brown, yes I have - they look fantastic! I'll take your advice and look for a OEM sunroof, then upholster it in the color I like

fyi...sunroof and panoroof are 2 different things. depending on where its released, E coupe came with pano, sunroof or plain.

cant find a photo of an E COUPE with just sunroof but im sure ive seen a couple here down under.


hers a pic from the net on an E coupe WITH PANORAMIC roof. note the glass roof opens outwards...




heres a pic of an E coupe WITHOUT sunroof or pano roof...



and heres a pic of a sunroof. sedan and NOT a coupe though...




my 2 cents. buy a car with either pano or sunroof but DONT install aftermaket.

These are extremely helpful! The panoroof looks phenomenal... Does yours have one too?

no worries mate.

My C63 and E sedan dont have it but has the sunroof.
tbh i bought the E coupe just because of the panoramic roof. now i dont even like it. good thing the mrs drives it.

it looks pretty cool but...it rattles, squeaks, takes forever to just tilt the thing as you have to open the inner liner first and not to mention heavy as F.

Yes.. I have to admit it looks really good.

Although after your experience I guess I'll have to test drive it abit before making a decision..

mate, dont get me wrong,

IMO, right after the S Coupe, the E coupe (pre FL, yes im bias) is the second best looking 2dr coupe out there available. no other car brand holds a candle. So even after all the negative comments i said about the pano roof, i wouldnt let a few imperfections with the design hold me back from purchasing it.

the pano may have a few problems but for me, it completes the overall look of the car. i can live with the lil rattles and squeaks. but without it, i wouldnt buy it. just my 2 cents.
