My care have no spare wheel, but a compressor to fill the tire if you get a flat.
There is no room for a full size spare in the spare wheel well
I can buy one of the mini-spare's with parts #2124000002, but then I was told that you can't use that wheel with a E500 4matic car. Is that true?
Anyone with experience with a 4matic car and mini spare wheels?

 

Hello and welcome to the forum! The part number you gave mentions that this would work on a E350 4matic; so it should also work on your E500. Link below to the information.

Thanks for quick answer.
When you wrote E350 4matic, and I read the specifications once more, I saw that the wheel was 17".
E500 has 18" wheels, so that is the reason I get an error message saying:"Item not valid for this model"
I can't find a 18"mini-spare .

 

I tried searching as well and only found them up to 17".

 

My wife had a 2009 E350 with the AMG package. It had a space saver wheel. I thought it was missing so I purchased a new one (I win dumbest man in the world, there is a wheel shaped space below the trunk liner where I thought the wheel is stored, turns out, wheel is stored one layer further down). Anyway, car was sold a couple of years ago and I have what is an unused space saver wheel and tire - brand new. I do not recall if the AMG wheels where 18's or 19's. my recollection is it cost me close to $400 dollars. If anyone is interested I am open to offers.

 

Roar,
I can be interested,but it depends on where you are located.
The shipping costs can be the same or higher then the value of the wheel.
An other ting is that the brake calipers are larger on a E500 than an E350, I have been told. Hearing from you
Thanks

 

I am in Chicago. Can't be that much to ship.

 

I will send you the part number tomorrow and you can determine if the size is ok.

 

Roar,
Yes, it can be that much to ship. I live in Norway. I found a similar wheel at ebay,
And they charged :
Shipping:
$559.00 (approx. NOK 4,640.93) USPS First Class Mail International / First Class Package International Service
That wheel has this parts number: A2124000002Jan

 

Sorry I disappeared. So two things, I was thinking CONUS. I am certain it does not make sense to ship to Europe. Also, sorry I did not post the part number and picture. I actually got called out of town. Will be unable to get info for a few weeks. Will check back in.
