2017 w213 Wagon rear air bags

Good day everyone,

I just purchased a 2017 E400 wagon. I'm looking into an air bag system for it. Has anyone installed a complete aftermarket air ride system. And was someone able to keep the stock rear airbags and able to control them with the aftermarket system. Thank you needing help

Why does people buy cars without the options they want then spend alot money to get that option but working worse for the same or higher price compared to just buying the right car for them from the start?

Do you even know the used market for wagons in Canada? I'm guessing no, because there isn't an optioned air ride w213 for sale and hasn't been one for at least 6 months. So thanks for the no help. And next time think before you make comments. I've done my research it's a low numbers market here.

Why not order a vehicle from the factory with the equipment you want? That is what I do.

not everyone can buy brand new. That's why there's a used car market. Especially on high end vehicles. I never knew asking a question about upgrading my car with aftermarket parts was such a big deal. For what i paid for my w213 with 20,000 kilometers on it. I'm ok with spending money on aftermarket parts. The market in canada for wagons is very low and rare.

I live in Canada and bought a pre owned air suspension last year You are right, they are very hard to come by here in Canada, I had to wait a long time for mine. There are aftermarket air suspensions out there and good instructions on youtube to install them. There is nothing wrong with buying these cars used, they devalue 20% the first year and 15% per year after that.
Here is a link, I'm sure there would be more: []=AWD+%28All+Wheel+Drive%29]https://www.carid.com/2017-mercedes-e-class-air-suspension/?filter=1&sub-model[DriveTypeName][]=AWD+%28All+Wheel+Drive%29

Thank you for the link.

I don't think people understand the MB market in Canada. Wagons have low numbers and not fully optioned out. You can't even buy a w213 sedan in diesel anymore up here. The w212 was the last model. It's so discouraging. Have a great day.
