VIN question

New to me 2006 E350 4Matic
90,000 miles
Would not have bought it unless it was in great shape!

What is it's color called?

Please help with the VIN decoding: WDBUF87J16X198129

I am interested in knowing everything that was included on this car when it was new.

Thank you

The 2006 model had the bad balance shaft. You didn't get outside of the range until the 2007 model year.

Also had SBC brakes but that has an extended 25 year warranty from MB. You may also smell gas in the rear passenger cabin when filling up, MB replaces the gas tank if you smell gas. But that was only a 15 year extended warranty. That would have expired last year on you unless the in service date was after June 2006.

Intake manifold might also go, get a scanner than can do MB specific codes and see if there are any pending intake manifold codes.

Here's some general info on the car. You basically have a base model as you don't really have any options.
