Just bought an 07 E350 Sport 4Matic, but noticed something in the front. The one owner carfax said it had never been in an accident, but.... take a look at the photos -- is there some way to adjust this? I did buy it from a dealer....

the driver's side is fine, but as you can see I can fit my whole hand in the gap on other side....

Thanks

FYI, the hood seems straight, as does the passenger quater panel, as well as the front molding, but its just not fitting tightly. Is this an easy adjustment I am just missing?

Am I screwed? or is this an easy fix

nasdaqer55

Anyone?

Is the hood fully shut? Try openning and closing a little harder....looks like left side is latched and right is not......

nasdaqer55

already tried, but to no avail. is there a way to adjust the hood? everything seems straight - all the gaps on the body panels and hood seem the same....

here's a picture of the car,, if you look closely, you can see the gap between the hood and the fender

going to the dealership tonight... I bot it used, but the place I got it from has a 3 day money back guarantee,, told them i would retrun it if its not repaired/fixed for free.... hope they don't call my bluff

Private mail your email address, I will send adjustment instruction sheet including correct gap dimensions to fender, headlamp, and grille. Include VIN if you want a MB datacard showing initial delivery date, factory-installed equipment/codes, etc.

Dealer just called -- they are ordering a new headlight and assembly unit. "very expensive for us, but good for you.." there was a clip broken on the headlight assembly that probably caused the headlight to go out, as well as being out of whack.

Do you have rear bumper adjustment instructions for W211 CDI E320? 211.026. The bumper is popping out a little bit on both side. If it is a WIS document, can you send the document no.? I have WIS too.

Nasdaqer, I have the same issue, could you please give me specific details on how was the gap problem solved.

It's as bad I guess.

I got the car a week ago from a dealer in Houston and I am shipping it to my country inside a container and I'll get it next week. It's a one owner clean car fax and really clean car. I am a Beemer guy but this one is making me fall in love all over again.


This is it being put inside the container

Headlights seem tight and in order, should I lossen all screws and try to align it? Is it that simple?

Anyone?
