2011 E350
Hi.. Just joined!

My name is George.. Luv my 2011 E350 that just eclipsed 50k miles so I'll be doing research on long term reliability and extended warranties. The car is just amazing.. I noticed a lot of real nice people here offering valuable advice.. Here's a pic of my MB hiding behind my latest acquisition : )

Welcome to the forum and to the Mercedes family! Awesome car and awesome color! Looks like a great start for some personalization. Do you have plans for it or just want to keep it stock?

I don't know, I'm new here, what do people normally do the E350? Suspension, wheels, ??? I lowered the nsx recently with Bilstiens and put new wheels on her but that's about it.

I don't think that many people are tuning the 350s. We get a few here and there, but mostly they seem to be daily drivers, and my one rule of thumb in this business is: don't tune your daily driver.

Thanks PParts.com! The NSX is so raw, no power steering, no digital anything, aluminum body, surgical around curves, sounds great, and is so low to the ground that you feel somewhat like you're go carting.

Regarding my E350 I joined here in an effort to keep it. It's out of warranty and so selling is an option but It's a known quantity and in perfect shape, got the wood trim swapped out under warranty so the interior is like new, exterior is perfect except for a minor wheel rash caused by the wife

You're welcome. Yes! I have a friend with an NSX. He actually let me daily it for a week. It was the greatest week of my life. I remember driving in the rain in it and feeling like I was driving through some crazy portal with how the angle of the rain drops were hitting the windshield.
