Few issues with my 99 E320
I'm new to Benz and wasn't sure if all of them do it.
From a stationary position the car picks up fine, but if i'm in traffic or let go of the gas and then press the gas again it does a very slight knock, like if you are on a bicycle and start paddling a running bike the chain kinda kicks in.
The car is still under warranty so I can get it fixed. I was thinking maybe test drive a new Benz to reassure myself, but thought I'd check here first.
Second problem: If i'm stuck in traffic the temp guage start going up past 80 to almost 100. When the traffic opens up and I start driving it comes back down to the center line. I was wondering if that's normal or maybe the guage is faulty. Haven't tried the A/C codes to check the exact engine temperature yet.

Hello Tofi, I have '99, I also can feel the same "knock" too. This a great question. As for the temp gauge readings, my car does not seem to react the same as yours.
