Mercedes E350 - No Rattles, unlike the Stang

I was thinking about the one that was having what seemed to be vanos issues. Was it indeed the solenoid?

A Porsche 911 is one of the extremely few German cars I'd actually consider buying if I wanted German.

I liked the interior on my 2011 GT as well. It was the base interior and IMO it was fine.

Ahh yes the M6 S85, still sitting. Needs all 4 VANOS solenoids @ ~$1,100 each. We tried cleaning them, no joy.

Yes I would love a Carerra S 6mt, but I just hate the way the flat-6 sounds. So hoarse.




I custom ordered the saddle leather interior, never actually saw it in person before I convinced myself I needed it. Looking back I don't really know why, guess I didn't want a black interior or something. Still get compliments today.

I was pretty sure it was going to end up with needing those solenoids. Piece of shit bmws. Sucks for that owner.

Yeah I spent a few days trying to talk him out of replacing the failed VANOS high pressure oil pump saying that because it failed and the engine lost oil pressure that there was inevitable damage throughout the engine. He decided to do it anyway and here we are.

He was dumb enough to buy a bmw, let alone an M series, are you surprised he still pressed on? :lol:

He just called asking us to clear the codes so he can sell it, which was what he was asking for when he first brought it in. He can't seem to understand clearing codes isn't fixing the problems and the CEL comes right back on as soon as the engine is started. :frusty:

Why can't Ford get the fit on the interior like those Germans?
