They’re a cracking car…people are spending 5 times more money to buy Korean garbage. I’ve had a 03 e500 for few years now and recently picked up a 05 350 with only 80k. The 350 with its 7 gears is actually zippier than the 500.
@ Interesting :-) my 350 has 110,000 km only. Not perhaps as durable as the W124 that I had before-but they both delivered great driving enjoyment-the type I’d imagine a Korean or Chinese never could.
Nope. Completely stock. Transmission was in manual mode which makes the shifts firmer compared to s or c mode. I think only w211 optioned with sports package will have this mode [besides amg models]
@@W211sThe difference is on your car you can shift to manual mode by pushing left or right on the gear selector. This car has three modes S/C/M on the button, which is programmed mode in the TCU for firmer and quicker shifts. They are programmed differently.
Nice video, good sounds, great shifts! I love my W211 2005 E350-it’s always a pleasure to use and drive despite being 19 years old :-)

@ haha…never again will you see a car built like a 124/126…todays car enthusiast enjoys computer screens and electronic garbage.
@@Michael.Chapman How reliable is e350 m272?
shifts surprisingly quick
7g gearbox much better than old 5g
Check out my built 350
@@thaboy_j but less reliable?
@@HybOj yeah sadly as well as engines are also not as bulletproof as pre-facelift
@@thaboy_j damn, I was thinking about getting e350 in few years... now I have w203 c200k in nice condition and its so reliable and nice to look at
I wish the 4 door V6 Accord of that year was this fast.
So good man are the engin m272 or m112
M272 3.5 litre
Does this have a shift kit or some sort of transmission mod?

@@TheRfh901do you have the rwd with the 7spd or the 4wd 5speed?
@@TheRfh901I don’t have the mag package but I have manual mode as well
