2013 E350 Bluetec & 2005 LR3
Yes hello! W212 Diesel Acquired. Ready to have some fun.

Have been a Euro car enthusiast for the past three decades, driven two GTIs (
& MkV 2.0T) and currently own a highly customized 2005 LR3 that I used to retrace the Butterfield Overland Mail Route in 2018.
I have a full documentary available about that trip / vehicle on YouTube.

I've been driving that truck 120mi/day commuting twice a week, and was excited to find a 2013 w212 Bluetec in fine condition.

Former heavy user of vwvortex, and looking forward to what seems to be a strong and active forum.

Welcome! I had a 2012 E350BTC and that is my top 3 favorite cars ever owned. Also had 2 VWs in the past and my wife drives an Audi. I enjoyed those cars as well and am confident you will enjoy the W212 if you enjoyed the GTIs. Interesting site on your LR3! I currently have a Disco V TD6 and love the vehicle for its purpose.

Enjoy!

Great looking car! Welcome to the forums. Love the black grill, reminds me of the E I had back in 2011-2014

I've been bombing around the last few days in a 2011 E350BT and this car is great! It has 171K miles runs and drives like a dream! And the TQ is awesome! It's a loaner
from the indy shop I use and love

great to hear. very much liked the feel of everything during test drive, was a jump to leave VAG vehicles but I can already tell it's going to be quite enjoyed.
Thanks, RE the LR3. Really incredible off-road vehicles while still retaining refinement in all of the right areas.

awesome, this is the kind of stuff I hear that made me want to get an E350BT. thank you.
I also dug the black grill, was conflicted between the classic MB chrome but it does look slick.

Back in the day I also had my grill painted black, and also had a second 'star' grill which lots of us here on the forums were doing at the time, it is a good look
