New 2008 E350 owner


just wanted to drop in and say hello. I have been lurking around for awhile and finally decided to create a profile and post, now that we have made our second Mercedes purchase. The wife and I used to have an ML320 up until a couple of years ago. After a few different cars, we are back with a 2008 E350. The car is everything we both wanted and then some! We fell in love with her the moment we saw her. I am working on posting pics but it is black on black with 18" Foose DF5 black wheels (came with the car), and is loaded.

Welcome man. Your next step is to lower the back end a little bit. That wheel gap is huge!

yeah, the wife and I were talking about this today. Once we are sure we have the money freed up, I am going to lower the ride and possibly increase to 20's..... although the 20's may not come right away.

Just be careful with 20s. You're going to be running pretty expensive thin tires and you'll have to consider ride quality, wheel quality, potholes, road condition, etc.
