Questions for the Gurus
I am heavily looking for a w210 e55. My current focus is on a ’02 with under, but near 80k. The car looks, sounds and drove great; accompanied by MB service stamps.
While looking at this car, I noticed that two of the silver columns were very dirty compared to the six that I could see. I believe these are spark plugs, but I could be wrong.
The picture below shows the dirty plugs with a red arrow and a white arrow for the clean ones.
The digital display near the speedo also said, “1 Malfunction.” I will call the dealership to find out if there are any codes with this message.
What could this be?
In addition, does someone have a PDF or know of a location where I can find the service A & B procedures?
Thanks.

Engine looks clean overall, but I can't answer your question. Unless you are very good with a wrench, it's better to have a warranty on any of the AMGs.
Having a dealer service history is great but you should be able to find a 2002 with fewer miles at a dealer that qualifies for a CPO warranty. Trust me, these can get expensive to maintain quickly.

The four buttons on the left hand side of the steering wheel. The two bottom ones look like sheets of paper or pages or whatever. If you push those it will scroll between the odometer, radio, malfunctions, can't remember all of them. When you get to the page that says malfunction you push the arrow buttons on the steering wheel to scroll between the different malfunctions (which in your case is just one) Other common malfunctions are lamp errors and low washer fluid. Its all in the owners manual which I'm sure is posted somewhere on here or benzworld.
