Hi,
I have been working for several months to fix minor issues on my used 2004
E320 4matic..the labor of love! My latest project is replacing the
interior lower passenger side B pillar trim due to the fabric getting frayed.
It is a two tone trim with black on the lower section
Looks so modern compared to the 240D:)
BTW, how's the 240D running now?
