'04 E320 Wagon
It was an expensive day:
- New set of Conti ExtremeContact DWS tires (they're awesome - had them on a couple of other cars and just love them)
- Service B
- Transmission flush

So now I'm $1200 poorer but hopefully the car will live $1200 longer.

That's expensive but not too bad Scott. Here in Oz, you wouldn't even get the tires for $1200.Your bill would have been at least another $900 for all that work done here, even at an indy.

Gave it some bio-diesel. Now the exhaust smells like French fries and onion rings.

I took off all tires and scrubbed them inside and out. Cleaned all the brake, suspension, and wheel wells. Scrubbed for over 2 hours just on that alone. I then put a tire dressing (not a greasy shiny one) all over the plastic parts. Looks amazing, like it just came off the assembly line . Then I treated the leather with Zymol Treat. Next up: clay bar, swirl remover, polish, and wax wax wax. About 7 hours to go.

E350
Over the last month I have done the following to my 2008 W211 E350 4Matic:
  • Added the 18" AMG sport package wheels
  • H&R sport springs lowering the car about 1.5"-1.75"
  • E63 style trunk lip spoiler
  • Factory sport pedals with the round rubber nubs
This weekend she gets a hand full wax before winter and in the next few weeks I need to buy new snow tires to be mounted on the stock 17" wheels. When I remove the summer wheels and tires, I will scrub the backside of the wheels to remove the brake dust. I am still thinking about debadging the back decklid.

Got the transmission fluid changed on my 2007 E350 (it had never been done) and had the steering angle sensor replaced. Hand waxed her, so she is ready for what the weather throws at us.

Took my car in for a fuel leakage inspection found out there were problems, cost $1700 to fix. What a rip off.

Took off the wheels and cleaned inside and out. Then moved the rear tires forward and vise versa. Hand washed it with hot water and P21s soap. Really need to make the time for waxing before weather starts to turn.

washed her after 3 weeks of not taking care of it, still need to do the interior and finish the engine bay.

i also put 5% limo tint all around and 35% on the front windshield, i dont know why i didnt do it from the biggining, the car looks mean and it has that mysterious look, it looks amazing!! (fish bowl looks really good but i want my privacy now more than ever)
