Nice car, Malcom. Like the wheels. You didn't mention what size you ended up with - 19", 20"? Yeah, I have the same car. You were spot on with many of the "issues" you mentioned. That "ticking" noise emanating from the M276 motor is indeed the direct injection. No worries there... I don't think your window regulators are on their way out. That is the sound of the motors... Mine sound pretty much the same (as does my 91 M-B 300CE, and I've never had to replace those regulators). My sub also can rattle when listening to bass heavy music too, but M-B spent a lot of time and effort fine tuning that system to the car. It is a very accurate system. No exaggerating any particular frequency. Want more boom boom, they yes, you'd need an external subwoofer. I think the system sounds great for most music... I still think a $65k car should hold up with regards to wear and tear to the window lift switches and those on the steering wheel. I also own a classic W124 300CE (which is what our E350 Coupes evolved from). It is 33 years old, and all the switches, buttons, etc look as good as new. Bottom line is that every subsequent year, the car becomes more expensive to manufacture, so in order to keep the price consistent, they have to cut corners. My 300CE also cost $60k+ over three decades ago! The leather seats are superior, the controls are superior and even the ride ride feels more solid. But given the exorbitant prices European cars are fetching these days (my friend recently bought a G-Wagon, that car will cost you $375k - yeah, they're selling them for $100k over retail!). Anyway, I really enjoyed your no BS approach. Easy to listen to and to like you as well. Thanks and happy trails pal!

Well done, nice car...

I had just purchase a similar E350 coupe identical to yours with 116k miles and so far so good. All of the minor items you mentioned exactly the same with mine lol. And Yesssss the transmission shifts like a Sunday driver. I've noticed when I put it in sport mode it shifts a little quicker but I'm good with it. And glad to hear a 2nd opinion about that ticking noise. That was driving me crazy but I believe like you said it's something to do with the direct injection. I had a Cadillac ATS 2.0 that was direct injection and it was similar. Not quite as loud but similar. How has this car held up to you now? As with your driving I assume you're well over 100k by now? Is she still holding up well?

That trunk door just hit different... :D

It’s a shame that people do not know to turn their phone sideways to make a video ! Wake up

mine had the same exact issues.

You didn’t need to reprogram the Ecu ? Most people say it with reprogram the car after battery is disconnected

nice car brother....what size are the rims and tyres? thanks

Are the speakers good? I’m getting one tomorrow.

Is that's your car idle lol cause if so you need a new fuel pump

How did you get illuminated door sills on your mercedes e350?! I just bought the same exact kind and was curious

Good video! Can you do plugs without taking off intake?

hey man i have this same car! and i was glad to hear what you had to say about the rear deck speaker. i have that same problem, and couldn’t figure out how to replace it. and people aren’t really talking about it online. i found the replacement online, which wasn’t actually too expensive, but i have no idea how to remove it. overall i’m super happy with this car. it’s been very reliable

hahahahah 🤣🤣🤣🤣, rofl. Dude your button for the passanger side window is telling a story there. You use ot way to much, more than your window. Just install a steel button in there man. Because at this rate of use your finger is gonna punch a hole. I can picture is stopping to ask a question 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍.

transmission oil change? you need to do that.

That acceleration 🤤

No dialectic grease on threads. That will cause miss fires. Nothing on the threads at all.

wow dude, you did not need to remove the plenum at all. There is enough space to do the job. But I guess by now you should already know.

Nice man, I got one & was worried sick about the ticking but then found out its the direct injection too lol

I have a question for you. I just found a 2014 E class coupe mercedes for 18k and it has 80k Miles on it. It's also in good condition and it's by a dealership. Is that considered a good buy because I heard the 2014 was a great year for the e class 350 coupe.

Thanks for posting. Good information for 1st timers. The comments below were also helpful.

So helpful Thank you

I’ve got 300,000 km and my steering wheel doesn’t look that bad.

Hey - this was awesome - did it on my 4dC350 as well as my thermostat. That rear vacuum line was a beast to get out - swivel socket adapter made it a little more manageable. Thanks for sharing! Saved me a pretty penny.

How much did it save you when u changed the plugs yourself?

Tell me, what made you change the spark plugs?

This is very helpful cuz I’m in the market for e250 all the way up to e400 but this gave me perspective Thanks bro

Very clean car brother🔥

Hey! That's my 500E at 10:05 - thanks for checking it out. The 600SEL next to it is my wife's car.

Question , are your headlights LED ? I have same car but mine won’t turn on if it’s LED where the two slants are

Getting close to purchasing a 2014 E350 Coupe w/ 93k miles, but there is 1 accident reported on the vehicle history. Should I be worried even if the accident was minor? Thanks man, great video.

Wish you filmed this horizontally, Hard to watch on a laptop.

On the base of the door jamb, is that illuminated Mercedes’ sign stock? I just bought an e350 but waiting for it to be delivered. Any sort of update is greatly appreciated.

if the blare witch was a mercades spark plug video ...

@malcomneme would you recommend buying this 2012 model with 97k miles? I’m currently contemplating.

Clean fam nice work!

I have a 2015 E350 4matic with 37,000 miles, I have some of the same problems, the chipped window switch, the ticking sound from the engine, the cracked center armrest cover on the drivers side (dealer quoted $500 to replace). Just a few days ago I got "Key Not Detected" message so none of the Keyless Go features work. I changed the battery in both keys, checked the fuses, tried pairing the key to the vehicle, nothing worked. Took it to the dealers "Quick service lane" they replaced the Energizer battery with a Panasonic battery, still nothing worked, was informed I need to make an appointment for service. 1 month waiting list for an appointment!!! (Thanks COVID, people are holding on to their cars longer and need service). Considering a Lexus (Yes MB is fun to drive but you pay for that fun).

Nice video man! I'm planning on getting one soon, its a 2012 E200 coupe bluetec. The issue it has, the engine makes a quick 3 second rattling noise when starting, then it disappears. The owner says its the chain tensioner. But i dont know yet. Any ideas if I should get it? I know its costly, but this issue scares me a little.

Hi Thanks for posting. How long did it take you to do this?

This is how shithole people do work.

Why do you take out computer

I have a 2015 e 350.....I need to replace the crankcase centrifuge cover.... pcv valve ,,,breather etc...has many names...can you offer me any advice please

Thanks definitely need help with this on my 2016 e350 couldn’t find a video anywhere , seems complicated u had to remove a lot , what’s your IG

Show more videos like this i subed return the love

Next time, just squeeze the ends of that plastic hose together, and pull it off the vacuum pump. No need to remove the fitting from the pump. That can introduce a new leak point. Otherwise, good job.

I have one too. I'm worried the tapping sounds might be my lifers.. i can hear it in drive throughs while picking up food.

You can change the plugs without having to remove the air intake, saves a lot of hassle.

Thanks. I changed 5 of 6 of my spark plugs yesterday and I could not understand how to get that freaking cover off. I will attempt spark plug #6 next weekend.

Good job man !!! The dealer will charge u 700 for this lol

Looks great in red! Mine also has a 'ticking' sound but was told it's normal. Thanks for the video!
