2008 e350 and 2009 e350
hi, i was looking into buying an e350 and was wondering if there were any differences between these two model years besides the wheels. I know car manufacturers usually load cars with options in their final production year so i was wondering if they did the same with the 211. Thanks in advance.

The biggest difference is the Command. '08 is dvd based and the '09 is hard drive based .

The '08 uses a "puck" for cellphone blutooth while the '09 is integrated into the Command.

I'd go w/ the 09 E350 to be honest. I have an 08 E550 and my best friend has an 09 E350 and I love the updated electronics in his car. Easily worth an extra $2k or so to me.

Quick answer to your question is NO.

To my knowledge, there are 4 different versions of E350 in sedan format. Correct me if I am wrong though.

1. E350 Luxury W/4matic
2. E350 Luxury W/o 4matic
3. E350 Sport W/4matic
4. E350 Sport W/o 4matic
