As for hints and trick, just waste a few evenings reading through these forum.
Lots of great stuff.

Welcome and do what NJay said read for days.... Especially about ball joints, motor mounts, shock leaks, ABC systems......

Then realize your car is solid and enjoy it.


P.S. You are in the Western Burbs, not NW Burbs.

Inside tire wear is a problem lol. Make sure you keep it aligned and the tires inflated accordingly. Also check ALL the suspension components.

Pretty much any problem you can or will have...someone else has had and there is info on it here.

Hey I just got a 2007 E350 4Matic as well few few days ago and am from IL as well. Doesn't get the best city gas mileage but hope Techron fuel system cleaner will make a difference. How many miles did you buy your 07 E350 with and how much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking.

welcome to the world of benz....
get ready to do some work...eventually things will start failing including ball joins..SBC pump...Engine mounts, transmission mounts, etc...
but mine is a 2004 E320 so the 2007 might not have all these common issues.
wish you good luck.

I can do anywhere between 11-18 city mpg depending on traffic conditions. Highway is pretty good, 22-26.

I believe 2007 got rid of the SBC, but it might have the balance shaft problem, cars made after 10/2006 should be ok, but only way to tell is to check the engine number via the vin. I think 2007+ should be more reliable than previous years.
