Mercedes-Benz 2006 W211 E320 CDI Avantgarde stationwagon
Exclamation A lil assistance!

Hey folks, I'm new in here, you migt have seen me posting a bit, I just bought myself a 2006 E320 CDI Avantgarde which I am very happy for, but I need some advice:

1. Does this model have anything special to look out for? any parts need to be double checked?

2. I have never really been a big fan of modding, mainly because I dont think it's worth it, due to the fairly high prices on parts, but is there anything that on a completely stock E320 CDI would need any modding?

I checked all the basics when I saw the car, oil, electronics/lights, gearbox, noises at different speeds etc.
First time Mercedes owner, so make me wiser guys

Cheers anyway, i always wanted a Mercedes, at first the wagon thing was a lil "ah I don't care if it's sedan or wagon" but come to think of it, it gives a huge amount of space, and i always like having extra room

- just a lil question what is the main difference from a 4matic and a "regular" ? is it AWD?

Congratulaitons on the car! I remember when I lived in Denmark and drove an E class that everyone thought I was a taxi, if you live in KBH then I am sure you will suffer the same fate. It can be interesting when they are drunk and then get angry that you do not stop.

4-Matic is All Wheel Drive, but it comes at a penalty with the 5 speed transmission instead of the 7 speed.

Oh cool, yeah the 7 speed should give better fuel economy - lower rpm isn't that right?
I live a good 30 minute drive away from Copenhagen - and thank you, I'm very pleased with my buy

Edit: What are you driving at the moment?

The entertainment package includes the Harman Kardan (I hope I'm spelling it right) sound system with 12 speakers and a subwoofer in the trunk (if I remember correctly) and a 6-Disc CD-Changer in the dash.

This is fine as it states "Equipment" instead of "additional options", but the car does have a lot more equipment than that, starting from 4 wheel (perhaps even a spare). I mean things like folding rear seats must be standard for a wagon, rains sensor on a W211 equally. Not sure about the rest, and are you sure it does not have more options than these, I would not be surprised if it did. A nice car anyway, enjoy.

I see your point, I'll change it . This is what I was informed it has as additional equipment - he basicly told me it was the Avantgarde package, which outranked Classic and Elegance - so I'm all good with that
