- 2015 E350 Bluetec AMG Night Edition Premium + 5dr
I've had lots of help over the years with my old 2001 W210 E240 Estate and have eventually decided to replace this with a 2016 E350 B/Tech AMG Night ED. Estate but have done as much investigation as I can and have found lots of comments about B/Tec engines. Oil overheating and lots of other related issues, engine useless after 80k etc and would be really grateful if someone could reassure me about BlueTech and direct me to some sound advice. I think the vehicle I've found must be a fleet car, done 30,000 and in great condition but no main dealer service history but presume fleet garage serviced as it looks really good and no faults. Even rang a MB main dealer to see if I could find some history but no luck but a service engineer was helpful and said it was a good machine but that BlueTech was a pain, implied that carrying the extra tank of fluid, remembering to top up etc was an issue. Not worried about adding/carrying fluid but more about the long term reliability of this engine.
Can anyone comment of direct me to good practical review and advice...thanks. The last time I posted Television (Malcolm) was still replying but sadly see that he is no longer around.
