My dad has offered me his E320 06 Plate (facelift 07 shape), Sport with Paddle Shift - fully loaded with everything except Satnav for £7000.

Car has full service history and only 90k on the clock.

I do like the color, but think black or silver would have been better..

Any thoughts?

Can someone tell me the power figures of the standard car, and of that once i get it remapped?

Anyone ever changed the alloys on these cars? i cant seem to find any when looking through google?

Can the car be lowered? costs if anyone knows?

If it's a diesel, it'll re-map, but it barely seems worth it.

If it's petrol, then a remap is pointless.

Lowering and changing alloys will make you look like you own a chain of convenience stores in a northern st-hole and have a side line in pharmaceutical products.

its a 3L diesel..

These guys come recommended..http://www.viezu.com

increase of 40bhp and 100nm or torque..

they did my last 535d, and it was bloddy quick..managed 350bhp & 700lb of torque...but that was a twin turbo.,.

As for the alloys only asking as the standard ones look kinda boring..but maybe the merc will look st with anything different?

my old 535d looked awsome with these on..

Don't expect it to be as quick/ good to drive as the 535d, and the spec isn't ideal you'd really want it to be Black/ Silver with Nav. Seems a good price though with that taken into account!

If it is the 7speed face lifted car introduced in 06 glasses book is about £7000.
However it would be called a 350, as such it has 272BHP.
I think the trade would see it nearer £5000.
I would leave it standard.

Mark,

The e350 is the new one..

My dad bought this car for 11k 1.5 years ago..

And the cheapest facelift e320 I have found for sale is near £9k with 140k on the clock..This is the sport model and has 90k..

Satnav is not a priority..
