2008 E550 Avantgarde S
Hello from New Zealand

Hi there,

We recently acquired a 2008 E550 Avantgarde S imported from Japan. First time owning a Mercedes-Benz. In Canada I had a couple of Daimler-Chrysler LX vehicles (Magnum RT and 300C SRT8) and I see several similar suspension and interior switchgear components (although higher-grade materials).

I'll be using Search to figure out some of the basics such as wheel stud dimensions for locking lug nuts and maybe how to exchange the Japanese A/V COMAND console for one that works with the Harmon-Kardon system.

Cheers, and see you on the forums!
Noel

Thanks for that, Pelican Parts. I was afraid the crickets were about to start chirping.

the introduction area of the forum does seem to be a bit less active. I always try to acknowledge the new members so they feel welcome. If you ever need anything or have any questions please don't hesitate to ask and hope you enjoy the forum!
