Used Mercedes-Benz EQE Sill

The sill (also called the rocker panel) is the structural body panel running along the underside of the car between the front and rear wheel arches — it exists on every variant of the EQE regardless of motor configuration or trim level, so breakers who have dismantled an EQE will have them. The EQE has been on sale in the UK from 2022 onwards as a single generation built on Mercedes' EVA2 platform, so the pool of used examples is still relatively small but growing. It's worth contacting several breakers as EQE parts availability is more limited than older petrol models.

The EQE launched in the UK in 2022 and remains on a single generation (EVA2 platform) through to the current model, with no full generation change in that period, so in principle the body structure is the same car. However, Mercedes has been known to make mid-production pressing or panel changes without announcing a formal facelift, so whether a 2022 sill is an identical pressing to a 2023 or 2024 unit is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration before buying.

Yes — the EQE is available as a saloon (four-door), and Mercedes also offers the EQE SUV, which is an entirely different vehicle on the same platform with completely different body panels including the sills. If you have the saloon EQE, you need a sill from another saloon EQE; a sill from the EQE SUV will not fit. Always confirm which body style the donor car was when speaking to a breaker.

Trim level does not affect the underlying steel sill panel itself, as the same pressing is used across the range. What can differ is whether an AMG Line or AMG-badged variant has a different decorative sill cover or add-on styling strip fitted over the top of the structural panel — so be aware that a sill from a standard Premium car may look slightly different to one from an AMG Line car once fitted. Confirm with your breaker which trim the donor car was if a cosmetic match matters to you.

No — the motor output variant (EQE 300, 350, 350+, 500, or the AMG 43/53 versions) makes no difference to sill fitment, as the body structure is identical across all of them on the saloon. You can safely source a sill from any EQE saloon regardless of its powertrain specification, subject to the body style and trim cover points mentioned above.

Yes, sills are side-specific — the nearside (NS, kerb side, left-hand side when sitting in the car) and offside (OS, driver's side, right-hand side in a UK right-hand-drive car) are mirror images and are not interchangeable. Make sure you tell the breaker clearly which side you need, using NS or OS, to avoid receiving the wrong panel.
