Probably getting an E 350 in a few weeks...

Greetings E classes, I hail from the C class part of mbworld.
Getting an E350 (stock), and just wanted to see if there's anything I should know in particular or any specific questions I should ask @ dealership beforehand about this vehicle. Any advice would be appreciated.

Can I do to the W211 tranny what I did to my W203 tranny?

I found better pricing on E500

I purchased an E500 a few weeks ago. I was expecting to leave the dealership in an E350, but, found the deal on the E500 too attractive to pass up. I think you can get into an E500 for well under the price of a similarly equipped E350.

I've had mine for a few months and get that annoying clunk when it downshifts when coming to a stop or slowing down. I'm taking it in on Thursday to have it looked at. I also get some thumping noise from the tires at about 20 mph. I'm having that looked at too. So, I guess what I'm saying is that this car doesn't like to go slow...unfortunately, I spend a lot of time in city driving.

Other than that, the car is beautiful and a joy to drive (over 20mph).

E500
Hi,

I'll go with the E500 since the E500 now has greater discount. You will be surprise.
