Any recommendations as far as jump box
Makes / models? I am looking for one that has an air compressor as well.
I see a lot of Stanley fatmax ones on eBay but I get the feeling that they may
not be very good. Thanks in Advance for any help. Ron Courcy

I would agree with your observations on the W163. Definitely more of a truck
than a car.

I have been driving the $675ML500 (well, $700 now that I spent $25 on a
new ignition switch) a bit the last few days and I concur.? It is bouncy
and twitchy on bumpy roads (like my driveway), very stiff suspension,
tall, short wheelbase.? On smooth roads it is not bad but as soon as it
hits a bump in the road or a dip or hole of some sort, it bounces all
over again.? I find it somewhat tiring to drive just from the fairly
short trips I have taken.? I recall the former wife's 164 being softer
and less harsh in the steering and suspension, so it was fairly
comfortable on longer drives.
I went on a little ramble on Sunday, went down a dirt road to visit some
friends, we had big rains Saturday evening so there were some large
fairly deep pits filled with water, the sand gets soft but not really
muddy, I was quite impressed with how it went right through those spots,
I could feel the 4m pulling it along but there was no torque steering or
anything like that as I have noticed on my 4WD trucks and the old Jeep
Cherokee I had -- a lot more "agricultural" feel to the systems.? Seems
a pretty refined system.
The 4m on the 211 E320 wagon is fairly not noticeable although I have
driven it a bit through a wet field (grass) and I could feel it pulling
right along on the wet grass, so that was gratifying. The 210 might have
gotten mired up in that.

So our E320 (2000, 4wd) is finally ready to take over for the X5, but I still
need to find a set of snow tire wheels for it. I have two differently-styled
16" wheels for it, and there was nothing at the junkyard last time I went.
Winter is Coming, as they say.
Will 15" wheels (of any sort) fit this car? I'd actually prefer tires with some
degree of sidewall to them rather than the near-rubber-band tires that
are apparently stock on this thing. The plan is to put Hakkapeliittas on it.

Looks like a E320 is 7.5x16ET41 with 66.6mm center
https://www.wheel-size.com/size/mercedes/e-class/2000/
An E250 can be 7x15ET37 with probably the same suspension
A W202 can have 7x15ET37 x 66.6.
That's where I'd look for cheap wheels.

Or just buy the 7.5x16s, I think I paid $50-60 shipped for the W210
wheel I bought on eBay several years ago.
