'10 E350 New Owner Maintenance
New owner of a '10 E350 with 48k miles. What maintenance should I look at doing to keep it running nicely? I'm a mechanic so I don't mind doing the work just not sure exactly what these cars need as this is my first Mercedes. Thanks

2010 E350 4Matic
I just bought a 2010 E3504matic with 93.5K miles and the maintenance reminder is on. It received a B service a year ago at 88K
Looking for others thoughts regarding DIY or dealership or indie.
My car is well out of warranty at 93.5k miles but up to this point has been exclusively and fully serviced by the dealership. This was a big selling point for me. So to me this is a big advantage of going to the dealership to keep up the service history on the car.
The obvious downside is the additional cost.
Regarding going to a local indie there is only one in town and I don't find that he charges that much less and in my view he doesn't see as many late model cars as the dealer. In his favor I think that he doesn't upsell like the dealership service salesmen.
I am more than capable of doing things like oil changes (I have a minivac that I purchased for my last E350 but never used) and brakes and what not and have liked the "bonding" I get with my cars when I service them.
What do others think?
