Mercedes-Benz E-Class Build Sheet by VIN
Same lookup as the Mercedes-Benz data card by VIN and the Mercedes-Benz build sheet by VIN — same free availability check, same $9.99 report, for every Mercedes-Benz model.
A Mercedes-Benz E-Class build sheet shows how one VIN was built: model (E 350, E 450, AMG E 53), body style, paint, upholstery and installed options such as the Driver Assistance Package, AIRMATIC air suspension, Burmester 3D or 4D audio and, on the W214, the MBUX Superscreen. Those are the options that separate one used E-Class from the next.

What a Mercedes-Benz E-Class build sheet shows
An E-Class can be ordered as a comfortable commuter or a near-S-Class: air suspension, rear-axle steering, the full assistance suite, Burmester 4D seats-and-speakers audio and the passenger screen all sit on the option list. A VIN build sheet lists the factory model, colors and the installed options and packages recorded for that car when the build data includes them.
- • The factory model, exterior paint and upholstery recorded for that VIN.
- • Installed factory options and packages, with option codes, when the underlying build data includes them.
- • Original MSRP figures, when the underlying build data includes them — not every VIN or model year has this available.
- • A downloadable, printable PDF you can keep with the car’s records or share with a seller or lender.
Data density varies by model year and specific VIN — some return a full option and MSRP breakdown, others model and color only. You see which applies before you pay. Not included: accident history, title brands (salvage, flood, lemon), odometer history, prior-owner count, service records.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class options that matter most
Focus: W214 (and W213). Linked codes are from the Mercedes-Benz option code reference (applicability in brackets). Options marked “by name” appear on the build record under their option name — the code varies by model and year and is shown on the build sheet for that VIN.
| Option | Code (applies to) | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Driver Assistance Package | By name | The bundle used buyers ask about first; nothing on the outside shows it. Listed by name. |
| AIRMATIC air suspension |
| Adaptive air suspension — the comfort line on an E-Class, and a maintenance item buyers specifically check builds for. |
| Burmester 3D / 4D surround sound | By name | 4D adds seat-integrated transducers on the W214. Listed by name. |
| MBUX Superscreen (passenger screen) | By name | W214 option: the glass panel spanning the dash with a separate passenger display. Listed by name. |
| AMG Line and Night Package | By name | Appearance packages that change bumpers, wheels and trim. Listed by name. |
| Premium / Pinnacle Package | By name | US trim bundles; contents vary by year, so read the line items on the record. Listed by name. |
| Panoramic sliding sunroof |
| A frequent filter for used buyers; expensive to retrofit. |
| Climatised front seats |
| Heated and ventilated fronts; confirm on the record. |
| Rear-axle steering | By name | Optional on the W214 and invisible from outside. Listed by name. |
Paint is a separate three-digit code on the vehicle data plate and data card — see the Mercedes-Benz paint code reference. How to read the rest of a data card: Mercedes-Benz option codes explained.

Example: a Mercedes-Benz E-Class VIN, position by position
Illustrative example, not a specific car: W1KLF4HB7RA012345 is a check-digit-valid pattern that the federal decoder reads as 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 4MATIC sedan, plant Sindelfingen, Germany (NHTSA vPIC). Nothing in the 17 characters describes options — those live in the build record (the data card) for the VIN. Decode any Mercedes-Benz VIN free with the Mercedes-Benz VIN decoder.
| Positions | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | W1K | World Manufacturer Identifier — Mercedes-Benz passenger cars (vPIC: Mercedes-Benz Cars). |
| 4–8 | LF4HB | Vehicle descriptor — Mercedes model line, body, engine and restraint coding; here an E 350 4MATIC sedan. |
| 9 | 7 | Check digit (validates the other 16 characters). |
| 10 | R | Model year 2024. |
| 11 | A | Assembly plant: Sindelfingen, Germany. |
| 12–17 | 012345 | Production serial number for that plant. |
Build sheet vs. the data card and window sticker
The original window sticker (Monroney label) lists the factory options and their prices, and the Mercedes-Benz data card lists the option codes — but a used car often no longer has either, and Mercedes me only shows a car's own records once the VIN is authenticated to an owner account. A CarWhere build sheet is the instant option when you are not the owner yet: This CarWhere build sheet is reconstructed from available VIN-level build data. It is not an official Mercedes-Benz data card, Monroney label, or factory certificate. Other routes — dealer printouts, service records, the Mercedes-Benz window sticker by VIN — are compared in how to find Mercedes options by VIN.

FAQ
How do I get a build sheet for a Mercedes E-Class?
Enter the VIN on this page for a free availability check. If detailed build data exists, the build sheet is $9.99 one-time and lists the factory model, colors and installed options and packages when the build data includes them.
Does my E-Class have AIRMATIC?
Check the build record: AIRMATIC is Mercedes option code 489 in the CarWhere option code reference. A ride-height switch on the console is a clue, but the record is the reliable check.
What is the difference between W213 and W214?
They are Mercedes’ internal chassis codes for the E-Class sedan generations: W213 covers US model years 2017–2023 and W214 starts with model year 2024.
Does the build sheet show Burmester 4D or the MBUX Superscreen?
When the underlying build data includes installed options, they are listed by name, including audio and display options. Data density varies by VIN; you see what is available before you pay.
Is the CarWhere E-Class build sheet the official Mercedes-Benz data card?
No. It is reconstructed from licensed VIN-level build data and is not an official Mercedes-Benz data card, Monroney label or factory certificate. Mercedes me shows a car’s own records only once the VIN is authenticated to an owner account.
