Mercedes-Benz 500E Parts

The Mercedes-Benz 500E is an exceptional vehicle. It's a mix of both high-performance engineering and luxury. This specific series from Mercedes-Benz was a collaboration with Porsche. Utilizing its powerful 5.0 L 32-valve V8 M119 engine, which was originally found in the 500 SL, it makes 326 PS (240 kW; 322 hp) and has a torque of 480 Nm (354 lb-ft). Going from a standstill to hitting speeds of up to 100 km/h (62 mph) is achieved in just under six seconds, at approximately 5.9 to be exact, and with its top speed capped at 250 km/h (155 mph). Porsche helped tune the chassis and suspension for the 500E to better reflect its sports sedan nature within the Mercedes-Benz lineup. Due to specialized manufacturing requirements, the assembly took place in Porsche's Zuffenhausen plant, where they added flared wheel arches that expanded its track width compared to other W124 models, giving it a more aggressive look overall. As expected with any Mercedes-Benz model, there are luxurious appointments and advanced features inside the 500E. Measuring approximately at about a length of 4,750 mm (187 inches), a width of 1,796 mm (71 inches), and a height of 1,410 mm (56 inches), you can tell this car will have lots of room for passengers and their belongings, as well as comfort all around. It weighs in at around 1,710 kg (3,770 lb), so you can imagine how solidly built it is while still carrying plenty of other options too. All these attributes combined make the Mercedes-Benz 500E one for the books because they speak volumes about what the perfect luxury-performance blend should be like.

The Mercedes-Benz 500E is a model praised for its engineering and performance. But like all high-performing vehicles, there are common issues that need to be inspected and fixed right away. If not, these little problems can become big ones in no time. For example, the car is popular for having brake pads that squeak when used. This usually means they are worn down from hard use or outdoor elements. To keep braking capability, you'll need to replace them. Without new ones in place, you won't be able to get around safely. Another issue that comes up often is contamination of the brake fluid, leading to brake system failure. What happens over time is that air gets into the lines and creates bubbles in the fluid, which makes it less effective at stopping your 500E. For this problem not to occur, you'll have to perform a full flush every two years or so, depending on how much you drive your car. It's also common for this particular model of Mercedes-Benz to leak coolant because of degraded radiator components such as plastic tanks and fittings. Overheating will lead to serious damage, so make sure your 500E's cooling system is running smoothly by doing regular checks.
