E350
Thumbs up New Member and New to Mercedes

I've been a BMW guy for quite a number of years (still am). However, I had the opportunity to look at a very nice 2011 E350 with very low miles, spotless exterior/interior at a fair price, so I jumped. I must admit, I do love the car. Handles well, rides nicely, and is an overall joy to drive. I'll probably never abandon my Bimmers, but I can see owning one of each for many years to come.

It's nice to find this forum. Has already helped with some misbehaving power windows that needed resetting.

Thanks for having me.
-Rob

E350
Photo

I apologize for the poor quality of this photo, but it'll give you a basic idea of my "new to me" E350. Coming from the Bimmer world, I have to get used to the models, and the letter before the number. Instead of a 325i, it's an E350. In the beginning, I'm sure I sounded ignorant in calling it a 350E. I'm getting it, though. Again, thanks for allowing me to join and become a part of this group.
