As I live in Northern CA, I cannot speak for winter/snow performance.
Thanks for your impression of the Michelins. I went with Pirelli's - but will try the Michelins next go around. The 16 / 17" rims and higher side wall tires make a world of difference in how W211's ride. Mine has the sport package with spilt spoke staggered 18" and there are not a lot of tire choices, plus the low profile is tough to get a good ride from.

Welcome.
Considering the 18" inch wheels and me as well having the sport package on my car, the ride is pretty good. I am happy to sacrifice a little comfort/ride quality for looks.

That's an awesome find if you're not the original owner.

Wow! Love the facelift. I want to do the same for my newly acquired E500. Anything else needed besides the bumper & grill?

front end seems to drag on driveway approaches 2009 E350
2009,
E350,
67,838
VIN WDBUF56X09B393211
Problems: Car front end seems to drag on driveway approaches, hangs up on Parking Concrete curbs (but only on pulling away) Backing away from them.
I did see a section (Sticky) on lowering the car, could that be it ?

Seems as if there are body panel gaps, as if front end has no support and is sagging ? look at the gaps in the front.

What shop?

Exactly what failed that "melted" the DPF?

What was included in the quote?

Do you have a service history on the car?
Any accidents? (The grill does not look centered)
