These are still damn good-looking cars twenty years later.

The W211 is my favorite E class of all time, gorgeous automobile.

I just picked one up, sport model. 3 weeks in and loving it so far

How many miles and how’s it treated you so far?

Same, just got mine 2 days ago. Had the e430 and loved it but always wanted 5.0. Next ima look into s500

The W211s are amazing machines, so well equipped, safe, fun to drive hard in the curves but pure relaxation on a long highway trip. I’ve owned a 2006 E350 for 8 years and today’s E-Class models aren’t as exciting, especially when the range relies heavily on small turbocharged engines. I prefer the hi-spec, under-stressed engines as seen in the ‘old’ E350 and E500. And strangely, today’s E doesn’t even give you a traditional three-pointed star hood mascot…

I had the same year and color and I loved it but that dam a/c pulley went out and it would of cost me more than the car was worth and this was last year. The W211 is by far the most timeless beautiful sedan in the world only matched by the BMW E39 5 series

Very strangely equipped E500 - just about the only real option is the Distronic. Everything else was standard equipment for E500 lol

Motorweek rules

I just bought one owner with 245k miles. Still drives like it’s brand new

Bought the E500 2 years ago with only 80'000 miles. Id take this any day over any new 30,000 dollar car.

The options in this car were light years ahead. It had a distronic cruise control. I mean, we see this option on the new cars.

There is a saying amongst mechanics, “if you want to see what car manufacturers are going to be doing 20 years from now, look at what Mercedes is doing today.” All the systems that debuted on this car, that initially yielded complaint, are now commonplace among most vehicles.

Distronic and massaging seats in '03! $58K wont even buy a C43 these days.

58k is almost $100k today....so you can get something with that feature

@@sha22276 yes, the equivalent current E53 is about that price, so this is about right.

The price is almost 100k in today's money 😵😵😵

I have a 03 E500 lowered on coilovers with muffler delete and C63 exhaust, and while it’s not as fast as the torque monster E55, for a 5.0L NA V8 it definitely moves out! It beats much newer Dodge Challenger 5.7 R/Ts which have 370hp… it’s a total sleeper. Bone stock the E500 runs the same times as a LT1 Corvette C4. Impressive considering it’s a heavier 4 door luxury sedan…

I forgot you could get these in the United States without a sunroof

Plus this one doesn't have the sport package, because they had bigger wheels.

Very uncommon.

Could you put a cam in these, give them that lumpy sound ? I've been looking on you tube videos but surprisingly doesn't seem that anyone has done it.

Can you just replace the converters/ mufflers to get a more aggressive sound?

@@Michael.Chapman yea not to sure 🤔 I think cammed would still sound better though. I was thinking about buying one and camming it or buy an xj8 , I'd love to have something different other than ford or cammed Holden. I think it would be really cool a luxury car that shakes and rumbles. But something not so aggressive that it becomes not such a good Daly driver

@@speedmann194 they are certainly lovely cars, I am interested in a green one, possibly an XJR with the supercharger but I was wondering if you have any advice for buying an XJR. I am also considering a W221 Mercedes S class especially with massaging seats I don't know if you are familiar with, I am looking at the S350 - basically the same engine as the E320 diesel but with the adblue additive, it has the same 3 litre V6 turbo diesel. I am conflicted on a XJR, XJ8 or a newer diesel S Class.... What do you think? They all seem to be reasonably priced, I have also considering saving more money and buying an Aston Martin DB9 or a Maserati GranTurismo....but I would like a second car also

Weird how the car said E320
