The dashboard has been inundated with warnings.

Have you conducted battery testing? Occasionally, a depleting battery might result in several peculiar alerts. -
The instrument cluster for the W211 320cdi model.

Perhaps I own a high-tech charging alternator? I have come across information concerning alternators that exhibit a voltage drop below 13V when the battery's charge level exceeds 80%. -

Yes, I get your point. Are you suggesting that the alternator is not functioning optimally? -

I am sceptical that the device is intelligent. I believe that the battery is simply exhausted. A replacement battery is expected to arrive this evening, and I hope that the device's performance will improve after the new battery is installed. No text provided. Thank you. -
I wanted to share an experience I had. I encountered a problem with my car's instrument cluster after my battery went flat. Even after charging the battery overnight, the instrument cluster remained unresponsive, and I was considering replacing it. However, while driving to work, I had a wireless OBD2 device plugged in, which provided me with the dashboard information such as speed and battery voltage. I noticed that as soon as the battery voltage reached 13.3V from 13.2V, the instrument cluster suddenly started working again. I attempted various troubleshooting methods such as replacing fuses, disconnecting the battery, leaving it disconnected overnight, and researching cluster faults on online forums. I had hoped that the battery would regain enough charge to surpass 13.2V while connected to a charger, but unfortunately, this did not occur. This experience serves as a reminder that a failing battery can mimic issues with the SAM or cluster in older waggons. I have ordered a new battery to resolve the situation.

Ultimately, RainX is strongly discouraged.

An effective solution may be created by combining water and white vinegar in equal proportions. https://detaildiy.com/how-to-remove-rain-x-completely/ -
Are the windows partially open, or just slightly open? Leaving the automobile windows open beyond a small opening does not enhance the vehicle's security even if it is locked. Based on the information provided, it seems that the dogs you have are not easily stealable, else you would not leave them alone in a vehicle with open windows.

Have you contemplated the possibility of not securing the car?

Put forth a significant amount of effort to earn the money, yet the result is aesthetically pleasing.

I am very inclined to test an air mass metre (batwing). A test in Star involves modulating the EGR valve and observing the air mass response within a certain range. You will get this error code if the value is beyond the specified range. Avoid being lured by inexpensive batwings on eBay since I have never come across a high-quality one. Swapping a part with one from a vehicle known to be functioning properly is a dependable way to test for issues.

An improper ATF level might cause unexpected issues with your gearbox. Inspect the fluid level. At 50,000 miles, you may need further servicing. For a 7G tronic gearbox, the service should be performed after about 40,000 miles or after 4 years.

When was the most recent gearbox maintenance performed and by whom?

It would be beneficial to know the specific automobile model and, most significantly, the kind of engine (petrol, diesel, etc.) you have. "E class coupe" might refer to several things. Check the oil while the automobile is warmed up and parked on level ground. Inspect the oil around 15 minutes after turning off the engine. A mark should be present on the stick to indicate the acceptable level. If the oil level is much higher than recommended, it is considered overfilled. In this case, it is advisable to remove excess oil using the dipstick tube and recheck the level.

I am unable to see any photos in post 3. Should there be one in post 2?
