#31 of 1094 2003 E500 GAS MILEAGE CONSUMPTION by tkingsley Oct 16, 2003 (12:49 pm)
The issue for me is how to even get close to the 16 city mpg that is advertised?! I drive like "an ol' lady" not using/enjoying the V8 and I still best 10 to 12 mpg on city? Anyone else had this experience - the dealer tells me to keep on running in the motor...?   I have had my car since May 2003 and wish I had known of this site before I (foolishly) purchased this car based on the bad reliability reports I see from you fellow owners. Although I have only got 2500 miles on the car I have not had any bad luck of note other than less then excellent workmanship on fit & finish.
#32 of 1094 Gas mileage by jg69 Oct 17, 2003 (9:08 am)
I have not had any problems with mileage. In fact around the city the car is consistently above 16 mpg and on the highway is runs around 25 mpg. Of course I have an E500. I would think that the e320 would get even better mileage? Maybe the V8 is more efficient.
#33 of 1094 Shipping '95 E320 Cab to England by sassycar Oct 17, 2003 (10:46 am)
We're contemplating shipping our '95 E320 cabriolet to London to may parents' house. Can anyone recommend a shipping service for overseas? Car will be shipped from Los Angeles. The last time we shipped a car the radio and other items were stolen, and the E320 is in immaculate condition (only 25K miles) with all the accessories. Any suggestions?
#34 of 1094 RE: E-320 Engine Noise by mynextcar Oct 17, 2003 (3:53 pm)
I am experiecing the same loud sound from my 2002 E320 started a couple weeks ago. It happens after I drive a while and when the car is in the first gear (less than 10 mph) and the moment I release accel padel. Does any other 2002 E owner experience the same problem?
#35 of 1094 Brake droning on my 2000 E430 by richgeo Oct 29, 2003 (8:40 pm)
Just recently I have been hearing a moaning/droning/rumbling sound when I brake at very low speeds, 5 to 10 mph. It stops soon before I come to a full stop. No squeaking. Took it to the dealer today and they said it is nominal and normal. Right... It is very annoying. HELP!
#36 of 1094 2003 E320 quality issue by allyg Oct 31, 2003 (8:21 pm)
I have had my 2003 E320 for over a month now and with only 500 miles on it. I have already experienced some problems. First the headlights were not angled right. I couldn't see anything when driving at night. The car was in the shop for two days for that. Today I noticed that my passenger site doesn't have warm air. It only blows cold air no matter how low the temperature is in the car! The driver side is fine. Now it has to go back to the dealer again. Also I have noticed the louder than expected rumbling of brakes, especially when I am backing my car out of my garage. I am going to have that checked out while the car is in the shop. I will let everybody know how it goes. Now I am seriously considering the extended warranty. Replies to this message: techspec1 (Mar 12, 2006 10:22 am)
#37 of 1094 '04 E320 by mbbuyer123 Nov 04, 2003 (3:02 pm)
I am thinking of buying a '04 E320; does anyone know if MB has corrected the electrical and other problems that I read about in the '03 model? I emailed MBUSA but have not heard from them. Any information would be greatly appreciated
#38 of 1094 mb buyer 03 E bugs by buster6 Nov 05, 2003 (10:52 pm)
I am having the same concerns as you. In looking at the other boards, it seems that a lot of MB models are having the same problems as the E. I have a friend who bought a ML (traded in a 4 year old Grand Am), he has had the MB in the shop more in 6 months than the Grand Am was in 4 years. I am looking on the 5 series boards, and finding that some new 04 owners are experiencing electrical problems as well. Let me know what you decide, and if you do pull the trigger how things go in your new E.

Four thousand miles. 1 Car vibrates and moans when depressing brake pedal-Been in for service five times-cause the SBC pump on the brake system-replaced pump,bracket , bushings , somewhat better still not what to expect from a luxury car 2 Metallic chunk going over rough road surface- fixed by replacing front arm struts Mercedes aware of both problems -bad engineering
