#51 of 286 New E-Class Wagon by merson Mar 28, 2001 (9:53 am)
Does anyone know when the new e-class wagon will be released in the US? The MBSpy page is down so I don't have pictures or release dates.
#52 of 286 new release of the e-class by thegeneraltso Mar 30, 2001 (5:37 am)
i read some place that the new refaced e-class will be a 2003 model and surely a wagon would be followed.

officially it will be at the detroit auto this jan 2002 and will be released 3/02. a wagon will come a year later. check out automobile magazine 5/01, it has a picture and a little write up. i couldn't post a pic on this post.

#56 of 286 Ruined Front End by jepstein403 Apr 24, 2001 (5:44 pm)
I noticed that the front tires on my wife's 2000 E320 wagon (only 7,600 miles) were wearing poorly. I took it to the dealer, who informed me that the front end was so bad that it could not be aligned, and that I had to replace several parts, to the tune of about $1,200!   My wife insists that there was no event (pothole, bump,etc.) that could have caused this. Does anyone know of another way this could have happened? Could there have been some sort of manufacturing defect? Has anyone heard of anything similar?   Thanks
#57 of 286 E320 Pricing $3,000 under invoice a dream in May by louis_heilig May 02, 2001 (10:46 am)
If you think you're going to get $3,000 below dealer invoice on this car keep dreaming. I've contacted several dealers, including the one the general mentioned in Arlington, VA, they won't do it.   I keep coming up with invoice plus something like $500.   In a couple months they might discount up to $3,000 when they want to get rid of the 2001s. But not now in May.
#58 of 286 E320 Wagon Sun Roof by bandsmalter May 07, 2001 (10:31 am)
I recently test drove this car (actually I drove 2 because I could not believe what was happening) and had a real concern. At 35 - 50 MPH with the sunroof wide open and windows closed, the flow over air over the car caused such an loud "drumming" that I had to laugh. It was so bad that the whole car shook. It went away at higher speeds or if you closed the roof part way. Any one else experience this and know what I am talking about? I really like the car, but this problem seems to be enough to turn me off... can't believe M did not get this right!

Wind buffering happens with just about all vehicles (think of it like blowing across the top of an open bottle), but is worse on MBzs since they're so air tight and there is no place for the air to leak. Most owners have gotten around this by driving with the rear windows opened a bit when the moonroof is open, or by installing a moonroof deflector. This is also the reason why the moonroof only opens 3/4 of the way in the one-touch mode; it's explained in the owners manual.   You may want to ask other E-class owners (in the sedans message board, for example) for their input on this as well.   Drew Host Vans, SUVs, and Aftermarket & Accessories message boards
#60 of 286 Sunroof by albell May 07, 2001 (2:13 pm)
The "thumping" sound seems to be endemic to the wagon and M-class as well (I have owned both). It has to do, I have been told, with the (good)aerodynamics of the car and the (bad) design of the deflector. If you don't open the sunroof totally, or crack open any window, it disappears. Adding a sunroof deflector also alleviates the problem, but I found detracts from the looks of the wagon (if the car's not black, anyway.) All in all, it's been a minor quibble for me. This is a truly wonderful autombobile.
