For those who plan to bring back E class, W211, here are some reviews from honest john;

What's Good

When launched in 2002, the W211 E500 impressed as probably the finest car you could buy in the real world. Truly "engineered like no other car in the World" and marked MB getting back to its core values. As Mercedes says, "Everything we know in one car". Incredibly strong. Incredibly safe. Incredibly advanced. And stunningly good to drive. Underneath is four-link front suspension and multi-link rear suspension built mainly of aluminium like the BMW 5 Series and latest Audis. Optional dual stage AIRMATIC (standard on E500), as the S Class, using electronically controlled springing and damping. Vast amount of electronic technology that make the car almost impossible to crash. The first W211s in the UK have five different engine options: three petrol and two diesel. Base petrol engine is the E240, a 2.6 litre 177bhp V6. The 6-speed manual does 148mph and gets to 60mph in 8.6 seconds. Next up is the familiar E320 3.2 litre 224bhp V6, auto only, which does 155mph and gets to 60mph in 7.5 seconds. This is slightly more economical than the E240 manual or auto. Top of the range at launch was the E500, a 5.0 litre 306bhp V8, which reaches 164mph with the limiter off and gets to 60mph in 5.8 seconds. Diesels are the 2.2 litre four cylinder balancer shaft 150bhp E220CDI, which gets to 60 in 9.8 seconds, goes on to 138mph and delivers 44.8mpg (177g/km CO2) and the 2.7 litre five cylinder 177bhp E270CDI, which is good for 144mph and zero to sixty in 8.7 seconds. A supercharged 200K four came later, as did the six cylinder 320CDI and a supercharged 470bhp 200mph E55 AMG V8. Six-speed manual gearboxes from the C Class and SLK are standard on the E200K, E220CDI and E270CDI, with the option of MB's excellent 'Tipfunction' 5-speed auto. E240, E320CDI, E320 and E500 come with 5-speed autoas standard. 476bhp, 200mph 0-60 in 4.5 seconds supercharged E55 AMG £60,640. Five star 2003 NCAP crash test rating.

E200K Classic 6-speed manual: £24,940 (from late 2002)
E200K Classic 5-speed auto: £26,390 (from late 2002)
E220 CDI Classic 6-speed manual: £25,985 (from August 2002)
E220 CDI Classic 5-speed auto: £25,985 (from August 2002)
E240 Classic 5-speed auto: £27,435 (from August 2002)
E270 CDI Classic 6-speed manual: £27,435 (from August 2002)
E270 CDI Classic 5-speed auto: £28,885 (from August 2002)
E320 CDI Elegance 5-speed auto: £32,795 (from late 2002)
E320 Elegance 5-speed auto: £33,440 (from August 2002)
E500 Elegance 5-speed auto: £41,840 (from August 2002)
E55 AMG 5-speed auto: £60,640 (from late 2002)

Elegance trim upgrade costs £2,100. Avantgarde trim upgrade from Classic price costs £2,600 and from Elegance price costs £500.

New V6 diesel replaces previous in-line 270CDI five and 320CDI six-cylinder engines from spring 2005. 221bhp and a maximum torque of 510 Nm (376 lb ft). Exhaust emissions meet the stringent EU4 limits; in addition Mercedes-Benz offers the V6 engine with a particulate filter as an option in the UK.

Whole range from E220CDI auto upwards GUARDEDLY RECOMMENDED. Which? best buy 2004.

New 224bhp 3.2 V6 CDI from May 2005. Broke endurance record by averaging 225.456 km/h (140.092 mph) over 100,000 kilometres and 224.823 km/h (139.699 mph) over 100,000 miles.

Whole range revitalised from July 2006. 20bhp more for C220CDI taking it up to 170bhp with better economy and lower emissions. New E350V6. New 388bhp E500. And mad and bad 514bhp E63AMG that does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds. Re-engineered 'facelift' models easily identified by horizontal 'eyebrow' like louvres inside the tops of the headlights.

August 2007 E-Class Executive launched at £28,515 on-the-road, £677 less than previous E220 CDI Classic withadditional £2,543 of kit. Has telephone pre-wiring requiring only cradle for a mobile to be controlled using the multi-function steering wheel. Also a six-disc CD changer with MP3 compatibility. Three metallic colours – Iridium silver, Obsidian black, or the limited edition Palladium silver, 16 inch seven-spoke alloy wheels, chrome door sills with Mercedes-Benz lettering. Seats trimmed in black Artico leather-like material and floor mats. Also driver’s lumbar support, two zone climate control and front seats electronically adjustable for height and backrest angle. 2.2-litre diesel develops 170 hp at 3,800 rpm and 400 Nm of torque at just 2,000 rpm. 0-60 8.1 sec, top speed of 141 mph, 44.8 mpg combines from amual (42.2 from auto). 5ive-speed automatic transmission with Tipfunction and Speedtronic cruise control is available as an option (£1480).
PRE-SAFE®, first pioneered in the S-Class, recognises potentially dangerous situations, its ‘reflexes’ preparing occupants and the car for a potential accident as a precaution, thus gaining vital seconds. So if braking reaches a critical level, or a skid appears to be imminent based on signals from the standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP®), the system will automatically tension the front seatbelts and start to close the windows. Executive manual’s P11D value is £28,300 and CO2 emissions of 167g/km (band E £165 VED) mean a 22 per cent taxpayer is liable for £1432, and a 40 per cent taxpayer £2604.

What's Bad

Rear seat not as wide as previous E class and centre rear seat not comfortable. High number of electrical and electronic faults reported across the range, spoiling what would otherwise be one of the World's best cars.

Strange "burping" noise reported by RHD E240 owner from Sensotronic brake unit, apparently due to the length of a hose in LHD to RHD conversion.

What to Watch Out For

Lots of problems with 2003 - 2006 cars that seem to have ended with the summer 2006 facelift (facelift car headlights have louvres at the tops).

More feedback welcome.

Can suffer electrical problems, so make sure all electrics work before buying.

The transmission oil cooler of automatics is sited in the radiator matrix, so failure can lead to coolant entering the transmission and destroying it, leaving the owner with a bill of £4k - £6k. MB responded that this fault only occurred in cars manufactured between 2000 - 2003 and only when a Valeo radiator is fitted, but has occurred in later cars. By August 2008 there was an epidemic of failures with fresh reports every couple of days, dealers quoting £11k to fix and MB usually refusing to pay which effectively writes off a 2003 E Class as scrap. Also affects 2004 registered E Class.

Two other well known faults which might cause expensive damage are failure of the oil seals to the wiring looms from the top of the cam cover and to the autobox which is electrically operated.

Reports of leaking high pressure diesel pumps on 320CDIs. Fluid leaks onto cooling system pipes which then also need to be replaced. 'Straight 6' 3.2 litre CDI engine had a common problem with premature injector failure at as little as 60,000 miles. Replacement injectors are about £300-£400 each, plus fitting and calibrating to the ECU - an expensive repair if they all need replaced at about the same time. Another common problem with the earlier engine is apparent failure of the injector 'fire seals', which allows soot and carbon to basically 'weld' the injector into the cylinder head. If a faulty injector cannot be removed then the cylinder head would have to be replaced.

Tinkling sound which rises with revs on 320CDI is from ceramic matrix of catalytic converter.

Also starting problems with 320CDIs. Can suffer battery drain down when left in airport carparks unless upgraded battery pack specified.

Cars fitted with self-levelling suspension are prone to running down their batteries after a long ferry trip or after being left parked for a prolonged period in windy conditions because the system attempts to compensate for movement of the ship or being blown by the wind.

Two other well known faults which might cause expensive damage are failure of the oil seals to the wiring looms from the top of the cam cover and to the autobox which is electrically operated.

Another common fault of Mercedes diesels is failure of injector seals, allowing fuel/air mixture to be deposited as carbon on top of the engine. The problem can be identified by the smell of neat fuel (like paraffin) entering the passenger cabin, and a "chuffing" sound from the top of the affected cylinder as gas escapes on the compression stroke. Apparently it is so common it has been given the name "black death" within the Mercedes dealerships. Unless spotted early, and seals reground and replaced, the cost of fixing can be up to £500

One owner's problems with a 2004 E320 CDI estate: "Tailgate strut failure, parking sensor failure, central locking failure etc and larger failures, rear suspension completely replaced (under warranty) and torque converter replacement (50% contribution). The latest issue with the car is that I noticed an oil leak , I took it to my local dealer (Weston Super Mare) who diagnosed that the gearbox oil pipes had corroded and that these would need replacing. I was informed that the pipes would be approximately "£20 to £30 " each. I was therefore astounded to be presented with a bill for £1079.57 which included a new radiator. I asked why a new radiator had been fitted and secondly why was I not contacted to give approval. The reason I was given was that the pipes could not be removed from the radiator due to corrosion therefore the whole radiator was replaced."

Another reader's saga with a Mercedes Used and Approved November 2003 W211 E220CDI: "I excitedly? collected my Mercedes E-class 220CDi (Used Approved) from my dealership in Blackburn. In the space of 18 months ownership I have experienced - blown turbo (day 2); central gateway problems - no reversing lights - (dealership advice "Get your wife to watch you out"); 4 system shutdowns; collapsed front coil springs; 2 SB pump failures; erratic wet weather braking problems (undiagnosed); new front discs & pads and a blown turbo gasket! The vehicle has spent almost as much time at the dealership as it has on the road. On each occassion the dealership assure me "It's fine now". Several minor faults were present on delivery & had not been picked up in the supposedly rigorous "Approved/ Used" pre sales scrutiny."
