Hmm. Further research indicates I need a BE 1692 for the 1998 E320 wagon, not a BE 3302. I’m not sure where I screwed up other than maybe I was using the 2002’s VIN by mistake when I was looking things up in the EPC. So now I’m looking for a decent BE 1692. Got one? Drop me a PM. -D

Re: [MBZ] Hello
