Hi Guest !
Welcome to the 500Eboard forum.
Since its founding in late 2008, 500Eboard has become the leading resource on the Internet for all things related to the Mercedes-Benz 500E and E500. In recent years, we have also expanded to include the 400E and E420 models, which are directly related to the 500E/E500.
We invite you to browse and take advantage of the information and resources here on the site. If you find helpful information, please register for full membership, and you'll find even more resources available. Feel free to ask questions, and make liberal use of the "Search" function to find answers.
We hope you will become an active contributor to the community!
Sincerely,
500Eboard Management

OK - black pearl/black. 147K miles.
RennTech CF airbox (refinished, it looks good), rear muffler, chip, sway bar. Euro headlights with fogs, city lights, dipping function. H&R springs, freshened suspension, rebuilt SRS, upper harness 2003 date code. Extensive service and ownership records back to delivery. I'm the fifth owner.
I did the E55 wheels yesterday with Michelin PSS in the standard staggered 245/275 front and rear sizes - the two shots with the stock 16" wheels are fresh off the truck on Wednesday.
So far the needs are - headliner a bit saggy, the two center vent adjustment handles are broken, there's a few cracks in the console wood varnish front and rear, and the driver's door speaker isn't working... Couple of smallish rusty spots, left side of the rear window looks to be delaminating a bit, not surprisingly right below where there's a bit of rust.
I've wanted one of these since they came out...

Realized I never posted my VIN for posterity. Speaking of, there's a For Sale thread from 2009 for my car - I'll put a note there as well.
I purchased the car from a friend of mine in 2016 - he bought it from the 2009 seller.
Bonus pic at the Classic Center grand opening earlier this year - wife's W140 and our friend's 220D.

Congrats on escaping the city! Looks amazing at your new place. What state/region is that?
We're between Granville and Newark, Ohio, just east of Columbus. Got here two weeks ago today and we're loving it so far. We're on a first-name basis with half the people at the BMV as we brought 9 cars and 7 motorcycles with us. Two more still in LA... !Congrats on escaping the city! Looks amazing at your new place.

For those of you with 8 minutes to burn, I shot this from the 500E last week as a preview for a friend of mine in Sydney who's coming to visit in October with his brother from the UK. Gives a flavor of the area we found plus a full tour of the driveway. Isuzu Trooper at the end is my wife teaching her teenage cousins from Istanbul how to drive...
