Differential swap w211 - llopness - 07-29-2017
Looking to put a shorter rear gearbox in my 2005 E320 cdi. What other bodies match the w211? I found an 03 500sl 2.82 for cheap.

Not quite that simple. You need to know which housing you have and get one with the ratios you want. So r230 and w211 have the same rear suspension setup but not all differential housings are the same> Axles. etc.
You also will have to have your tcu tuned for the new ratio as well.
