Nice car, good luck with sale.

On the other note, just fyi, Parktronic system parks your car, both parallel and perpendicular parking. Just saying
I actually tried on my E350 and it is nice (just used it to demo it to my friends). The reason I don't like it is because it parks in the middle of the lane, and I park far away from the car (I always look for parking with a curb on one side).

Good Luck with the sale! We just also recently let go of our 16' E350 (sedan) with almost 60k miles on it. I'm gonna miss it but sometimes an upgrade is good.

its funny to see the right arrow next to a car even at a red light, i mean if you dont have BSA and are too lazy to look over the shoulder it can tell you your next to something, downside is it only is good under 20MPH

Hi! I'm a new w212 owner and love the way your (or your former) wagon looks. What wheels are those and what suspension are you on?

thanks!

Nothing major as far as issues go.

I have owned a lot of used BMWs and never had a great experience with their required maintenance. Our X5 was a nightmare.

The wheels were gunmetal TSW Chicane 19” x 8.5” ET35 (I think) all around. The suspension was stock (the car had the lowered sport suspension as an option) and I think the tires were 255/35/19 all season Yokohama Advans.

You had a nicely sorted wagon there! If it were tinted, that would be an ideal car for me

Funny you mention that, I had the tint removed first thing. Not a fan of tint. Especially, with a striking interior color.

did you sell it through cl? just curious as to options for selling. I feel like there's not much a used private selling market for these.
Thanks

I was contacted through craigslist by the buying dealer in Silicon Valley. Not much action on craigslist, ebay or autotrader except for some lowball ridiculous offers. CarMax offered me $4k less and my local MB dealer offered me $2k less than the dealer that eventually purchased the car. Not only was it an expensive used car, it's a very rare car. Not many people are looking for a premium wagon. Some guys at the dealers referred to it as a unicorn. The Land Cruiser we bought was also called a unicorn. I guess we have a thing for horned equines.

Here is the listing from the dealer. I'm sure they would love to sell it to a MB fanatic...
