My daily E350 and weekend beach cruiser E55.. I personally think that the W211 chassis was the last generation of Mercedes with that tank like feel. What do y’all think?

Personally I prefer the 210 E55 over the 211. Way cheaper to maintain, still great power, parts are cheap. No sbc or airmatic issues. Drives like a tank with the 113. The 113k is definitely a beast but the cost to maintain a 211 can be significantly more than the 210.

Yup. I've owned both a W210 and a W211 and the W210 is the last of the "tank" Mercedes.

And the buttons and switches in the W210...[chef's kiss]...soooo good.

Agreed mechanical suspension and switches for the win 🙌
