Just picked up a 2008 with 73K miles from the proverbial little old lady. new michelins, and not one crack in the wood.. she never drove in inclement weather so underside is super clean. was kept indoors so overall decent condition... totally stock for now except for a Bluetooth connection. so far I like a lot!
You will continue to love it. I have an '07 and it is awesome!

Just picked a 2008 E350 with 61K miles! I got a set of 19x9.5 +35 laying around. Would this set up work with either 265/35 or 275/35? I’m not lowered yet, but planning to swap to coils in the future.
If I recall, someone ran CLS rears 18x9.5 +28 all around with 275/35/18?
Thanks!

Normally yes, but the price was right. The tires are nearly new and even when I wear them out I can probably resell the wheels for a profit. Also the negative rear camber was eating away the inside edge of the old 16" tires to the point where they were dangerous after just 15k miles. Alignment is within spec. My next project is adjustable rear camber kit to dial out the negative camber.
285/40R18 vs 215/55R16
Old right rear tire.

I got a new-to-me 2009 E550 Sport about 4 months ago and after shelling out around $3,000 to take care of deferred maintenance, repairs, and vehicular atrocities committed by the previous owner; my car is now looking (pretty) good and running excellent... and god DAMN this thing is absurdly fast!! Next on the list will be lowering links and muffler delete

Engine & Transmission mounts
Oil change
Brake Fluid Flush
Replaced the two front air struts
Replaced Coolant Tank Reservoir
Replaced Washer Reservoir
Replaced the old 20" dubs with 19" staggered wheels and tires
Replaced Heater Control Valve
Serpentine Belt Replaced
Spark Plugs
Crankcase ventilation regulator replaced
Now that I think about it, its probably closer to $2k but I got the car cheap so Im not too upset

Here is my new-to-me 2008 E350 with 71k miles. S70Houston says it is sitting too high. What do you think? It shows the 952 Sports Package on the build sheet.

Beautiful looking car and super low miles. Congrats and welcome to the W211 Club.
Looking at some additional pictures, wondering if it is an optical Illusion?

Are your tires in good shape? I am running MICHELIN PILOTS on both cars and both are hugging the road nicely.
