W212 - 7 different diesel engines?!

They don’t look any different. But they have some fancy controls next to the seat. Similar to this.

Airmatic is quite rare nowadays probably a ratio of 1 in 50 fitted with it and that's the higher spec 350cdi so I would have thought almost unobtainable on the smaller engined cars

Again multi-countoured seats are quite rare, both airmatic and upgraded seats are extras

You might be lucky finding cars fitted with the above but it may take a while

I`m aiming at max comfort and best fuel efficiency. That means I should not get AMG line model.

Se or Exec then, something like this

Airmatic is quite rare nowadays

They have also changed it to "Air Body Control"

250 rather than 220 but a nice enough car with airmatic http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...sponsored&radius=1501&postcode=ng235pa&page=1

Multicontour seats - do you have picture of them?

I specified them as an option on mine and they are very effective especially if you are fussy about the exactly right amount of lumbar support

 

[Mr Filipov]

Problem with the "fancy" options, which are probably a must as they make such a difference is that people in the UK for the most part go for the base spec of a given trim because that is all they can afford, as opposed to going for a cheaper car with more options on it.
This leads to plenty of used AMG sports, M Sports and S Lines on the market with the bare minimum that is included in the package.
The ones that have the right kit appear on the market and are gone within weeks/days and do not appear often at that rate because the owners keep them for much longer.
On the other hand there are rich people who are toght and do not spec options either. So all you are left with really is a person with a good amount of money that wants a car with plenty of kit. That is very rare though.

The dynamic multi contour seats in my 2014 E350/don't have those controls. They are managed via Comand.

 

[C350Carl]

I was looking at some cars the other week that had it and they had this control. But I can’t remember the year now.

My E220 AMG Line fuel efficiency from new. I laugh at the 65mpg official figure.

Well you got near it once.

The rest of the time you must be driving like a pregnant fish......

Yeah, that was a spurious data entry where SWMBO forgot a fuel receipt...

The car gets driven fairly sensibly, with these roads there's little choice.

Craig, what app is that?

Craig, what app is that?

It's called "Road Trip", costs £1.99 ISTR.

A perfect time to upgrade your phone then!

 

[Driveroo]

Thanks, but I`m not fan of outdated overpriced tech. Perfectly happy with Galaxy S8.

 

[Craiglxviii]

Ohh you're one of them, eh?

Fuelio, Fuel Buddy, My Cars, Spritmonitor (German), Fuelog (Fuel Log?)... all for Android and all look very similar to the app I have.

 

[Driveroo]

BTW, how do I tell if car has ILS? Is there a VIN decoder for mercs like BMW?
