Summary
The Mercedes-Benz E 350 4MATIC W211 (2008) is a luxury sedan appreciated for its powerful V6 engine and 4MATIC all-wheel drive system, which offers excellent safety and stability. Experts note the smooth and refined ride as well as the high build quality of the W211 series, with the post-facelift versions addressing some rust issues. However, the M272 engine used in this model is known for problems with the balance shaft, air valves in the intake manifold and oil leaks, which can lead to expensive repairs. For buyers who are aware of these maintenance issues and can address them, the E 350 4MATIC remains an attractive choice, offering a combination of power, luxury and the ability to cope with various road conditions.
