Bill, Nice job on the presentation! I worked with you in the early nineties at Sunshine Buick. Used car dept. with Skip Kolb, Frank and Pete. Cheers....Jim
One of the best reviews I have seen recently. And thanks for actually taking me in the car instead of making me look at your face. I don't understand why more reviewers don't do that the video is supposed to be about the CAR.
Bill, I’ve been watching you for years now and you finally pushed me to buy a W211 E-Class in silver. It’s a 2007, has had its balance shaft replaced, and has 160k miles but is still running like a clock. The previous owner provided all service records and it was ALWAYS serviced before it’s time. It was always hand washed, highway driven, garage kept, and over all very well taken care of and it took so very long to find. I couldn’t be happier, and it’s so unfortunate I couldn’t travel from Georgia to Naples to come buy it from the Mercedes expert! The E-Class no matter what chassis you get is the best or nothing. It really is Mercedes bread and butter car. Rock solid, reliable, beautiful craftsmanship, and won’t break the bank in terms of maintenance and gas. (At least the M272 engine). It’s been fantastic. Thank you Bill!! And thank you for making me as passionate about Mercedes as you are! You pushed me that extra step to finally follow my life dream of owning an E-Class. The best car in the world!!!
Bill, for some inexplicable reason I watch your channel practically every day, much to the chagrin of my long suffering partner. Anyway I always particularly enjoy your reviews of Mercedes E-Class estates ("wagons"). We used to be fully signed up Volvo owners, primarily because I love 5-cylinder engines and Volvo's infant containment systems are second to none. However, after 8 months of owning a leaky V60 (no good in the UK) I decided to give Mercedes a go. I'm lucky enough to have a mother who knows how to pick her cars well and grew up with a W124 estate (grey exterior, dark navy interior, or white in between vacuuming out golden retriever hairs). She picked the car up for about £8k in 1998 and sold it for £2k about 7 years later; today similar examples regularly sell for £10k, as I like to remind her (she had similar fortunes with a prior Volvo 240). Anyway, as devoted as my partner is to me, purchasing a classic W124 would have lead to the end of our relationship, so I compromised and replaced our Volvo with a beautiful 2015 W212 E350 Bluetec V6 diesel estate. It's in black, it has the attractive (but uncomfortable) AMG specification and has privacy glass, which despite initial reservations, I think absolutely works on this car. Since owning it, I've installed one of the most formidable infant containment systems you're ever likely to see, making it a truly astonishing all round car that I hope (but doubt) will last forever. If I could send some pictures for you, I would, but youtube doesn't seem to allow it.
The color, oh my the color absolutely makes it that much better! One of my best decisions was buying the W204 C300 4Matic Luxury in Dolomite Brown over Almond. It is, bar none, the classiest daily driver I could ask for. This? I would absolutely love this as a long-haul, long distance driver. Seeing this in my garage alongside the C300 would be wonderful. If only I had an SLK350 to match as well, I’d be the happiest clam alive!
2:45 I'm probably one of the few 20-year-olds who rode in the rear-facing seat in a station wagon as a child-my grandma had one in her 1999 Ford Taurus wagon.
I’m about 3 years too late, but after watching this video. I feel like I’m back in my 1998 S500 W140. The interior looks and feels very similar to the W140. Gorgeous car, inside and out. Great review!
Oooh I see that gorgeous Lexus GS in the background, not sure if it's a GS350, GS430 or GS460 or maybe the hybrid, but I'd LOVE to see that beauty! Speaking of wagons I really really really wish lexus made a GS wagon to compete with the E class!
you're absolutely right Mom had to station wagons we were kids and there's nothing like going to a drive-in in a wagon, The true nine passenger vehicle, Yes still miss them
Oh my, excellent vehicle! I wish you could get your hands on a 2015/16 E400 sedan to review. I'm thinkin' that's gonna be my first car ever within like a year. Wish I could swap in that luxury grille and hood ornament though. Love the tail pipes, amg wheels and steering wheel of the sport package but the hell with everything else. I'll take the traditional grille, luxury front bumper and hood ornament any day. Mercedes is nuts making the sport package so prevalent in an attempt to attract younger buyers.. I'm 24 and want the old god help me. Bill, in your experience is there a vast difference as far as ride quality over rough roads between the sport and luxury suspensions?
Agree. Spent many hours of my life riding in the rear-facing back seat of a Vista Cruiser as a child. Drivers behind hated seeing kids staring and making faces at them.
over the years we've had three of these wagons...all have been great, they drive like and dream and DO handle differently than the sedan version. (we have on of those too)...
Great video again 😁👌 wonderful color combo, really elegant. It's one of the best Mercedes models ever made. I have the same car in dark blue with light gray interior - I enjoyed every day since purchased!!! This is really one of the finest 👍 Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹😎
Hey I finally got to see what Bill looks like in the reflection of the car window. This whole time I pictured him as a tall guy in his late 50's with a big stomach who likes to wear Docker sandal's, Khaki shorts, a hat, and golf shirts that are to tight. Or maybe even Hawaiian shirts. But now I see he's totally the opposite.
123, 124, 210, 211, 212, or 213, there’s not a single E-class wagon I wouldn’t love to own. Probably would most like the 211, as I have the sedan as a second car and love it, plus the styling on the wagon is just gorgeous.
I gave up looking for one with leather. Ended up with a bmw 3 series m sport wagon to replace our bmw 5 series wagon. Was a tough choice, but the bmw is so fun and has a diesel motor. 44mpg on the road. I miss a larger wagon for the highway, but not in town. As usual, I loved the review. You are the best.
Why did they stop putting ashtrays in? If you don't smoke, it's storage. If you smoke. Hopefully you use it instead of flicking your butt out the window
I realize not a lot of people in the comments realize you are talking about the North American Market, however you forgot about one growing concern of theirs in the wagon segment. Volvo. And they are making amazing cars now and they are just as nice as Mercedes products.
Hey Bill. Me as a lifetime Mercedes Benz fan and driver I love the station wagon and regret not buying one when price was reasonable. Hope to get mine very soon. Thanks for reviwing nice cars for us. What happened to the angry birds? wink
People need to see the photos in the website ... the video camera does not do the color of this car justice ... it's really a nice modern version of what used to be called 'town and country' .
Gorgeous, e class wagons are a favorite of mine. Although I don't think the facelifted w212s were all that attractive. The pre face lift is much better looking. The w211 wagon is still my favorite
Currently saving a bit more for a nice used 350. It's crazy that there are these amazingly tech loaded cars at like 30,000 miles for great prices, but people will go out and buy something brand new for similar price and less tech. Guess it's great most americans aren't seeking them...but that does mean we wont get as many from the automotive makers. Oh well
Sadly the rear end of Mercedes wagons looks like a hearse - out of proportions. To be honest, Mercedes has weird rear ends in almost all models they offer. For example s class has so flaccid one, you can think the air went out of it.
Bill, I watch nearly all major auto reviewers. But you had me laughing aloud in the parking lot Today, sitting in my boring Ford rental car. The comments that had me in knots were about the containment of the yard apes, the mesh netting, and the oncoming gorilla. Wow! How do you it? If I was 1/10 this politically incorrect, and funny, I’d have PC liberals shooting me with a bag on my head.
I drove Mercedes and BMW for 35 years. Mercedes always have suspension problems. BMW always has electrical problems. Both compines nickel and dime you to death ! Like $4 to $8 thousand dollars per year. It's annoying. I drive a two year old CTS-V with 87,564 miles on her- she will still kick the ass out of either German brands ! That is the truth.
Bill, Nice job on the presentation!

This is awesome to see an internet reunion 😁
It's always a good morning when there's a fresh video from Bill.

For me mister bill is the best doing this tipe of videos he truly give a nice and slow clear details from every angle of the car good job bill
Such a lovely colour and spec! Very classy!
BimmerTom couldn’t agree more
How does Dr B do it? Always in a color and a spec I lust after. This one in particular..
To me, arriving in a wagon like this to an evening event is sooooo classy and elegant than a SUV

i think you need glasses lol
I adore your firearm recommendations!
"Big lug of a gorilla" AND "it will slam the breaks if u are about to hit a pedestrian, but hopefully it doesn't" hahahaha
😁👌
Dead 🤣🤣
Oh And one more thing. I like how you can get all the luxury goodies on this wagon. But still have a key to start it!
Oooh I see that gorgeous Lexus GS in the background, not sure if it's a GS350, GS430 or GS460 or maybe the hybrid, but I'd LOVE to see that beauty! Speaking of wagons I really really really wish lexus made a GS wagon to compete with the E class!

BMW has the 5 series touring, so that makes this Mercedes not the only one!
Great video as always!!
Aah, wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info!
@@curiouscars9282 lol don't let the feminist see you say that they'll riot 😂
Agree. Spent many hours of my life riding in the rear-facing back seat of a Vista Cruiser as a child. Drivers behind hated seeing kids staring and making faces at them.
350 engine is the best engine ever built in a Mercedes industry
You mean the 350 with the plastic intake levers that break and the crankshaft sprocket that wears out and costs $3K to fix? LOL
over the years we've had three of these wagons...all have been great, they drive like and dream and DO handle differently than the sedan version. (we have on of those too)...
I have one of these. Thanks for explaining the ticking sound that my previous one (a 2011) didn't have - I've wondered about that.

Even though I’m never in the market for a used car, I love your videos; you’re hilarious! The rear “cargo” net commentary made me laugh out loud.
I love this car, straight away you can see it has the sensor for auto drive
Hey Bill. Me as a lifetime Mercedes Benz fan and driver I love the station wagon and regret not buying one when price was reasonable. Hope to get mine very soon. Thanks for reviwing nice cars for us. What happened to the angry birds? wink
Most and last beautiful e class
Writing this in 2025, the E-class wagon is available
Literally my favorite car hands down period.....well other than your W123 wagon! Lol
Nice merchandise.....from a retired former Independent Car Dealer/Wholesaler
Any tips for love bugs? My 13' e350 is a love bug destroyer here in fl
I get the best results with a industrial degreaser, usualy hard to get, as only sold to proffessionals, but at ebay....
I grew up in station wagons. My parents own a C class station wagon 2008 model and a 2016 one

I didn't know Mercedes turn signals don't work like BMW
Modern (mid 2000s-onwards) BMW turn signal stalk is plain stupid.
Sadly the rear end of Mercedes wagons looks like a hearse - out of proportions. To be honest, Mercedes has weird rear ends in almost all models they offer. For example s class has so flaccid one, you can think the air went out of it.
Nice
w210 station king
Yep I have a white one with 66 k miles. I love this car. I love golf more but its a close second.
