KXT4904. Hello. Have never seen in US B250e. Would be unusual in EV car to have such a cooler using amps.

Saw on YouTube. Built on the GLB platform. Looks like a winner to replace our B250e. Likely available in Europe first and later in the US. The future is a little down the road! See picture here. https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/eq/all-electric-models/eqb/

Woosty, I checked out eBay and there are folks selling LED replacement bulbs that fit your B250e. Sorry about my initial likely mistaken view. Let us know if you get the replacement LEDs. They would look good on the B250e. Here is the link to the exploded diagram...

Woosty, Not sure you can but I don't have one of those exploded parts diagrams. All I know is when I had to replace a damaged drivers side lamp, the replacement was one unit including bulbs. I don't recall anyone having posted that they had made the mod you suggested. Good luck.

Fred (I assume), That is a good price. My lease buyout was at $19.5K on a 2017. You can probably negotiate lower. With the exception of initial issues with 2014 motors and some rarer motor issues with 2015-2017, EVs are usually trouble free. You will want to confirm the remaining warranty...

Peter, If I win the lotto, sure. It is interesting to see the battery charging times drop. Now if the infrastructure would start to catch up . . . but that is another post.

Charles, hey there. Our last man standing! Good for you. I miss my B250e. Filling up a gas tank while fast is actually slower than just plugging it in at the public parking or work and going off to do something while it charges. Hanging around waiting for my next EV to run me over and...

Till we meet again Peter! Good choice that as an experience EV driver, you know your needs better than someone coming over from an ICE car. Too bad about the XC40 for you. I have yet to sit in one, let alone test drive it. As it is playing out, when its time to get my next EV (turned in my...

Chris, My recollection (needs to be checked) is when I leased my 2014, one of the options was blind spot assist along with radar assisted parking and paddles to adjust regen braking. I leased it as is with all those options plus comfort package. When I leased my 2017, the one the dealer had...

Chris, Hm, that would be unusual, yes. If you take it to a shop, it needs to be a shop that can plug into the onboard computer and read out the error codes to identify the source of the fault. If just a software fault, I am not too worried for you. However, my main point of investigation is...

Chris, The GOM is aptly named. Like all range calculators, it uses the last bit of driving to estimate remaining range on the assumption that the remainder will be exactly the same. Never really true if you think about how you drive as you approach your home after a day of driving...

Peter, At the risk of being labeled a youtube nerd, I believe that Alex from Autos said that Apple Car Play will work. How exactly, he did not show in his video.

Peter, My SOP is to lease first year models cause stuff happens like it did on the 2014 B electric (the motor and the software recall). Also, with emerging tech EV as you pointed out, it only gets better. Volvo qualifies for full EV Federal tax credit so there is no leasing penalty money...

Alexcarp, Many of the smaller parts used for the B250e are the same as that for the B-Class ICE car and for the C-Class cars. You have to check the MB part number to be sure. I have had good experience in buying new or used car parts off eBay. Try to look for parts company like eurocar. I...

Peter, With covid, less reason for me to commute to my incubator office so I ditched the lease and set up an office at home. My entire family loved the 2017 B250e but the buyout price was too high for me so I turned it in last September. Now down to my two beloved ICE cars both with 85K...

hfeb, Yes, great news. You certainly persevered through this as few would have. Enjoy the ride!

Remmisk, Welcome to the Bclub. I originally leased a 2014 and then a 2017 after the initial lease expired. Fun car, hope you enjoy. I am wishing yours continues to run fine. The issues on the 2014s tended to happen earlier in its mileage and life so fingers crossed for you. To answer your...

WantOne, MB only sold a limited amount of the B250e so they have not used up the $7500 tax credit. I just checked online since you asked. Same is true for hybrids when I was looking for a leftover GLC350e PHEV. I consider our B250e to be MB's teething training wheels. They are basically...

WantOne, Yes, wish your B250e a long renewed life with replacement motor. I don't miss it as much because the only driving I do these days is to take the kids to school a couple of times a week and otherwise be the family Uber driver (errands, shopping, etc). Using my wife's ICE wagon and...

Hey all, Mercedes unveiled their 2021 EQA, first available in Europe in February. Looks just like the ICE GLA hatchback. I saw an ICE one at dealer in Iridium Silver and was going to lease it but resisted the impulse. Will contact the MB salespeople and get on the list for the EQA when it...
