Officially owner of a 2007 E350 Wagon with 95k miles.

Thanks to a few chiming in, pulled the trigger.

First thing first, I am looking for a good parts source to get parts and do some quick maintenance that I can do. I see that Service C is due in about a thousand miles - and I still don't have a clue what that is - other than estimated 3 hrs.... this is where I think the BMWs are much more DIY friendly than the MB (this being my first one).

I'm thinking Air filter and Cabin filter are must, I think this is just 1 each as opposed to 2 cabin filters on my 5er.

I'm gonna get Brake flushed - I am surprised to see Coolant life is 15 years?

Diff flush - I'll have to see if I can do this.. hoping for some tips on this board.

Spark Plugs - at 95k, I think it's time.

Anything thing else I should do while at it that's DIY friendly?

Another local question:
Any good MB focused shop recommendation near south bay?? I hear M1, but that's a bit far from me at Fremont.

Thanks all !! Excited to get right into this...

Exactly opposite of the E39s.. 1 air filter and 2 cabin filter...
Looks like the W211 has 2 air filter and 1 cabin filter... on my 2007 that is. I don't think I have an indoor cabin filter.

The engine is just CLEAN... unlike my E39, the W211 seems to be well built. Very happy!!!

That's not an '05 Wagon, is it? Not yet sure how to attach photos yet... but let me see if this would work....
