Sensuous surfaces replaced the W210’s crispness, and beneath them sat Sensotronic Brake Control — an electro-hydraulic system with no mechanical link between pedal and calliper.

Produced from January 2002, the W211 spanned the supercharged M271 four, the M112 and M272 V6s, the M113 and M273 V8s and the 6.2-liter M156 of the E 63 AMG, with CDI diesels from the OM646 four to the OM629 V8. AIRMATIC DC, 7G-TRONIC and the first PRE-SAFE system arrived with it.

Around 1.5 million were built before production ended in 2009 — the E-Class at its widest reach.
