Hi all

e350cdi sport coupe is great. few niggling issues sorted by dealer

2 issues and i wonder whether they are common (probably to do with the great Scottish weather ) : -

1 > Some condensation in headlights- nil puddle just some steam on lens cover when it is raining outside - i know the units are not sealed and my bmw 7 series and 3 series coupe both do have the same issue from time to time

2> On a rainy day if i drive and then park car there is a lot of condensation on inside of windows after about 1hr - i have checked inside - nil dampness carpets etc. No condensation if left overnight -clear in morning. I usually have a/c on all the time - will try with it off. Perhaps to do with the frameless windows??

Car otherwise if great - really enjoying it!!

Can you write comparison between E92 3 Coupe and E coupe ? Which one do you prefer ?

Thanx!

Hi Shakal

Merc e350cdi sport Pros

1 > More comfortable
2 > Better interior
3 > Looks sharper/more distinctive design

BMW 335d msport Pros

1 > More power
2 > Better steering feel/driver involvement
3 > Seems to be better economy (although my merc is still <2k miles)

If i were to have 1 it would be the Merc.

Hope this helps

Regards

The "fix" is to have the lights on for a while, 15 min, 30-1 hour??? The heat from the bulb should get rid of the condensation, but if it does not go away after that then headlamps could be replaced. (That is what was done on FL W163s)
