2015 E220 Bluetec
New from the UK

I bought my first MB a few weeks ago and currently getting up to speed.

It's a MY2016 E220 Bluetec SE Wagon and so far I've upgraded the maps to latest and had the NTG updated so I could activate Carplay and Android Auto.

I wasn't getting the fuel economy I expected so also remapped it with a Kess unit and after a couple of tankfuls of premium diesel (Shell V Power here in the UK) and some AR6400-d it seems to be improving nicely.

Diagnostics wise I'm running my own Xentry setup with a Vxdiag C6 and so far the car seems happy.

I also picked up some W213 alloys which I'm looking to fit and that will take me onto my next post nicely.

Thank-you Bob, it's back on the 17s for now as I'm not sure whether the 19s are fully compatible with my SE / Avantgarde suspension. I'm just trying to work out if that model ever made it over to the USA actually.

Just deciding whether to attempt the fit with skinnier tyres or sell them on - the car is running the 17s again for now just so I know it's safe

Nice cars but have to admit I'm half wishing I'd bought the E350 now
