I'm obviously a DRL junkie.. this is the fourth set I've tried out (trying to get the cleanest look) but these have been there for about 2 weeks and running good.
They're really thin so sit very flush in, and the shape works with the bezel imho...
i like this 4th set, is suit the shape of the grill perfect.

Whole interior? Dash, door panels, seats etc?? Would love to know what type of price they're asking and your efforts if you go ahead keep us updated!
I was gonna go 2 tone black dash black seats and keep everything else gray to start... now I'm leaning towards just changing the whole interior now. i got a verbal for 3k over the phone went to check it out he went down to 2k in 3 minutes. I got a couple of installing options.
I drove from Los Angeles to Oakland to the OKC vs. GS game and back i love my R the smoothest ride I've driven across country many times. Awesome right just filled up once to get there and once to get back down 5 hour drive body feels great!!!
Sanded the horizontal slats on the R grille with 150, 220 and then some 320. Had plenty of knicks etc. Purchased some matte black vinyl wrap from a tint shop and wrapped them. Came out very well. Hope it holds up to road debris etc.
I'm picking mine up from the shop, not repaired. Indy suspects the coolant leak is from the oil cooler, though I am suspicious. They suggest taking it to a dealer to see if I can get it fixed under warranty, which I am also suspicious of as it is a 2009 with 112,000 miles on it.
So tonight I am going to crawl under it myself and then this weekend decide whether fixing it is worth it or not. UGH
What did I do to my R? Had it towed home because of complete engine failure. Took off intake manifold and found broken flaps, tonnes of oil, pieces of piston ring springs etc from middle passenger cylinder. Engine is toast. Will have to dig in further but in the middle of a bathroom reno so it'll have to wait. Mercedes - the best or nothing... currently I have the nothing... FML

When was the last time you changed the oil? 5 yrs ago? Complete engine failure is pretty extreme even for the R class ... Sorry to hear,, hope u can find a nice used engine to replace if you plan on keeping the R..
Um, changed every 8k kms which is just under 5k miles. I only owned the vehicle for 2 years so 5 years obviously isn't possible. Blame me if you want, but I didn't build this piece of crap. Maybe you work for Mercedes?
Yeah, maybe the airbags leaking was the oil changes too right? My 20 year old rotary turbo is more reliable. My 98 Audi A4 was more reliable. My 05 BMW X5 was more reliable. Tell me more about how it's my fault Mercedes made the damn balance shaft sprocket out of play-doh. So it's my fault that they put ****ty plastic in a magnesium intake Manifold? I sure as **** never dreamed of "engineering" a sealed for life transmission without a damn dipstick. I drove my 2.8l V6 Audi A4 to 200k! That had an aluminum dual stage intake manifold and it never failed! It only had to be cleaned once!

Sorry to hear about your R.
I have my 08 R350 oil changed yearly in the last 8 years at my local MB dealer and it still run like new as the day I got it.
Actually it runs better and smoother as I just had transmission fluid changed this year.
Hi Guys,
I just bought a new (old 2007) MB R320 CDI and I'm looking for some help.
I got the CARFAX Vehicle History Report but I don't know what options it has.
Can I find it by my VIN number? It's 2007 MB R320 CDI Sport Utility 3.0L V6 FI
All Wheel Drive and the VIN number is: 4JGCB22E17A049882
Can I make the COMAND software update for this vehicle model and 2007 year?
Thank you.

been awhile mainly because the R500 is being solid, but added chrome edging to the front and rear lights, changed my rear passenger airbag suspension (after finding out that no, my warranty doesn't cover it, MB quoted $1600+tax, bought arnott lifetime and did it myself for $200), and just added some power steering fluid to bring it back in line (cold start funky noise when turning, now gone).
still a great drive, did a drive down to San Diego from LA (before the new airbag) and averaged about 70mph and round trip of just under 20mpg which I was happy with
Dealer replaced original brake rotors and 2nd set of pads at 165,000 kms. Also new under-seat battery, new MB windshield replacing original, new engine idler pulleys, new wiper blades. I changed the oil (Mobil 1 0-40 european formula) myself. One week prior I put on new 18 inch Conti-contact 4x4s . I guess this means I'm keeping the car for awhile - or offering to sell it fresh from dealer service! Dealer forgot to re-set service D (due in 2 days) so I will do that. This only leaves the grinding gear on the Pano Roof I no longer open (I'm fine with it staying closed) and a Rear Airmatic that doesn't like to take too much weight (on second set of rear shocks already). Since 2008 I've waxed the thing probably 60 times so it looks new to this day. Random thoughts of new engine (6.3?!) to prolong life? Always worried about that front gear on the balance? shaft wearing out for an early 2006. Probably not worth the cost. Next will be a strut in the front probably too - that's about it. Car is ready for winter and shares carting duties with my '95 S class that needs a new front timing cover seal but otherwise runs great at 70,000 kms.
A couple days late but I ordered a new driver side passenger door sill, a front middle louvered AC vent and a new cover to replace the torn driver seat bottom.
FWIW I found out there are only 2 left in existence
