The Mercedes-Benz E350 CGI from 2009 and before

[LunaCraze]

Hello there,

Can you tell me how the E350s with the latest CGI engines, starting around 2009, look?
Can you trust them?

The early automobiles had problems with the balancing shaft and other things.
Is there anything I should be aware of? My son could be on the hunt for one.

The convertible I own is a 2010 model with 120,000 miles. The vehicle has had servicing on an annual basis or at intervals of fewer than 6,000 miles, on occasion, from the principal dealer. From inside the vehicle, you can hardly hear the engine running at idle, and it's as smooth as butter.

With a 2009 model year or later, you should not be concerned about balancer shaft concerns. Engines with serial numbers 30 468993 and after have upgraded components installed to fix the issue.

More power, torque, reduced taxes, and higher mileage are available with the M276 engine, which he should try to get his hands on.

I drove it in a turbocharged 2016 E400 and a 2012 E350 coupe.


Nothing has gone wrong in the seven years that we've had it, with the exception of the fact that the original nox senors were chocolate.

Both of you, I appreciate your responses 🙂
