'03 E 240 'Elegance'
A few nightshots...

Me & A Mate gathered one evening, and thought of taking some pictures, nothing over the top, just a few random shots, thought I would share.
Comments welcome!

Naah, they aren't the E63 rims, they are the ones on the W221 or W164.

Hm, do I smell a smart *** right about now? Well to answer your question, look at my sig or maybe do a search on Renntech ELM


akzz: my question was not intended to make fun or ridicule your car. I think your car looks great especially with those rims, but it just seems to sit a lot higher than stock

I'm with you, Ryda...

Needs to be dropped a bit, especially since the wheels have been changed.

As my friend blake would say, your driving a 4x4. Not sure if the 240's have airmatic but if they do, have it sit a bit lower.

I don't see the airmatic buttons on the interior pic.

My best friend's name is Blake. Weird.

could it be that he runs 18" so there is less rubber around the rims giving the effect that the car sits higher?

NICE car by the way . what color is that?

no offence but with stock rims and ur car that low it looks dumb and i think in my opinion even with rims its too tucked dont get me wrong sometimes theres a big gap with rims and u should lower it but sometimes to far looks like crap

his car isnt permanent at that ride height... renntech ELM...Electronic Lowering Module... adjustable ride height, he can slam it, or 4x4 it... he has the best of all worlds

and depending on some parts of the world dont they use a taller spring? I do agree, looks good, but maybe just a tad dropped would make it seem more "stock" for us US folks

His car looks fine.

The only thing that looks dumb is four finger wheel gaps.

It`s possible to order airmatic when you buy a E240, but springs are standard. When you buy a E-Class in Europe or Asia you can choose between a "Classic","Elegance" or "Avantgarde" model.The "Avantgarde" is 15 mm lower than the Classic and Elegance. This case is a Elegance, and therefor a bit higher. But the 18"rims and the low profile tyres make it look even higher. And ELM of course....Nice car Akzz
