The new E CLASS

[THOMO]

Is it true they suffer from a lot of eletrical problems ?
Im not sure whether to upgrade to a clk 500 or e500.If the e500 is suffering from eletrical problems, this will soon make my mind up .This information came from a mercedes specialist.

That was with the first of the W211s, they are much better now. Are you looking at new or second hand?

i was looking at a 2003/2004 model E500.It would seem from the replies that the electrical problems are not common at all.thanks for the replies.

As Malcolm says, they were on release, but MB fixed them under warranty and most of the gremlins have been eradicated with software updates.
