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

Hello Guest!

The new 500Eboard Registry is now live and available to the entire community. It currently contains all 1,528 U.S.-market and 85 Canadian-market 500E and E500 models delivered for the 1992 through 1994 model years.

You can search for individual cars by VIN, FIN or production number; explore production statistics, paint colors, interiors and factory options; view vehicle history and related forum discussions; and browse photographs for hundreds of documented cars.

This information has been compiled and researched continuously since 2003, and much of it is now available through 500Eboard for the first time. You can open the Registry at any time using the red 500E Registry button at the top of the forum—or by clicking below:

We hope you enjoy it. A lot of blood, sweat and tears over more than two decades have gone into building this resource.

Cheers,
500Eboard Management
