E450 All Terain Wagon
New guy in NE Florida

New to the Benz world, first MB after many Porsche vehicles. Traded a 2018 Macan GTS on a (executive demo) 2022 E450 All Terain Wagon w/ 8k miles.
Still have my 2015 Cayman GTS (MT).

I do have a question, what sub-forum do the Wagon folks belong? Sedan, SUV, E Class? I would like to know if anyone has had success installing a trailer hitch without having to go the custom route?

Bill

SL500 R230 Roof not opening

Hi. I’m new to this so excuse me if I get it all wrong. I have an sl500 2003 with a non opening roof. I’ve been fiddling around for hours and can’t get it to work. Can anyone suggest anything that might get it working again?

Gl450
Hello everyone, Joe here. Just got a 2008 GL450, first time Benz owner. It needs a little work, biggest thing is the power liftgate doesn't work. I'll be browsing the forums looking for answers and probably have some questions along the way. Needs some cleaning and polishing, but overall seems like it was well taken care of.

W212 - 2015 FL
Hello,
Thank you for welcoming me to the forum. W212 FL is my fourth Mercedes. W203, W211, W212 and now W212 FL. I am interested in modifications to the car, I have carried out a few in my car myself. Currently, I started to be interested in the Mercedes W212 CAN bus and the ability to read and write car parameters via CAN. Lower my current car


I greet everyone.

Cool

Just picked up a lower mileage 2014 E350 (49,000 miles). A good year for MB - car is loaded w/ Distronic & Active Parking Assist. Wanted the safety features w/stop and go cruise control for traffic and some luxury - perfect fit.

2002 W211 E240
Hi

Hello everyone, I'm Farie from Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.
My (family's) first Benz was a W124 300E, which stayed with us for 3 years before being sold to a fellow enthusiast.
Now I own a W211 E240 which I just picked up two weeks ago and currently sorting out some kinks here and there.
I hope we can get along well!


My second Benz after the W124​​

C63 W204 & Honda CTR/S2000
Hello everyone

Hiya everyone. The 1st 3 pics (sorry some the wrong way!) are my facelift w204.

The last 2 are of my older preface lift w204.

I joined the forum in 2020 or something but haven't posted anything until yesterday.

Both C63's have been my problem child & after a dispute recently with Mercedes Benz, I figured I should use this website a bit more.
