Hello everyone,


After about one month searching and watching in this forum, I pulled the trigger on a CPO 2012 MB E350 BTC at Lexus Seattle today.
Pkg 1
Sports.
Lane Assist and Blind Spot
Massage chair.
Odometer: 36000 miles
Dealer did 40K service and fill full adBlue.


After owning 5 Lexus cars/suvs, I will say this E350 BTC is an amazing car.


It feels very solid on the rough road, and very stable on highway.
I haven't test the MGP yet, but I hope it can compete with my RX450H.

Congrats on your new car! Is the massage chair available aftermarket? I want one!

Welcome, your car ownership history is disguised to me but I think W212 should be your best car yet

So far so good, the only unpleasant thing is road noise from tires, it's really loud on freeway. Is it because the run-flat tires? I probably need address it later.

If your run-flats are Good Year Eagle LS then it only quiet when new. I suggest you swap them out with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 and carry a tire repair kit instead.

Dealer put four new Bridgestone Turanza EL400 245/45/17 95H tires, these tires are rated quiet on Bridgestone.com, but they aren't actually.
