Alright, it’s been a week and I’ve cured the Benz of its unseemly vibration at idle (engine and transmission mounts) and its oingo-boingo ride (suspension accumulators), so it’s time for the inevitable E39 vs. W210 comparison thread!

The lifespans of the W210 E-class and the E39 5-series are almost perfectly aligned, just offset by one year. The W210 went on sale in 1996, was facelifted for MY2000, and its final year was ’02. E39 hit those milestones in ’97, ’01, and ’03. #WeirdCarMastodon
