I've owned my w212 nearly 7 months now. It's a great car. Not tuned, lowered, no aftermarket springs, tires, wheels or brakes. Yes, very boring but the darned thing just works very well.

Color me impressed

I've had mine for 13 months. I lowered it, got bigger and wider rims, stickier tires, custom exhaust, and a JL subwoofer (stock bass was lacking for me). I'm not done modding it, but I love it anyway.

Yeah it's airmatic, used lowering links from ebay to lower it. After I got it the way I wanted I did get an alignment from the dealer. I got to lift my car and check my tire wear about 2 weeks ago, everything is looking good.

Complaints - without them we wouldn't need the internet.

Yup, mine keeps plugging along. Thankfully no major drama of late.

I've modded every sports car I've owned over the decades. Suspension, engine, wheels, aesthetics ...it's happened in one way or another.


But our '14 E350? Nah ...it just flat-out works too well! I don't want to mess up a good thing. Comfy yet sporty (in a relaxed sense), controlled but not afraid to flex its muscles. Balanced. Dead stock, it lacks nothing. Nah, I'm leaving well enough alone!

I get inner side of wheels wearing out a bit quicker.. i think ima get camber bolts to try fixing it... ive had it lowered for 3 years n thats the only downside of lowering it (( (also bought links off ebay)

All I did for mine was tint and wheels - Frankly, not sure I'll do much more to the car besides interior LEDs and all weather mats.

It's built perfectly IMHO and needs not one change.
