2001 SLK320
New to forums

Sold my 96 BMW 328is and picked up this 2001 Slk320.

Looking forward to working with everyone here on the forums.

While I'm not new to cars, these vehicles are kind of new to me and I would appreciate any help, tips, or suggestions that I can get.

Car's got 98,600 miles currently :O





CEL is on due to pre-cat o2 sensors so that's the first order of business that I need to take care of. Changed my air filter a few days ago. Hoping to pick up trunk lift supports later today (since mine are blown) and looking forward to picking up my fuel filter as well. My spark plugs are also waiting for the spark plug wires which i have yet to order...

A full tuneup is in order...

Welcome aboard
have a look into the various links in my signature especially the owners manuals (if you do not have one download one for free)
and the Crossfire service manual (its the same engine and chassis as the SLK, just different sheet metal.
