Does an 00 E class has timing belt or chain. Are there any different between production year 0f 2000 to 2002? Thanks.

They all use chains and Meercedes has been doing that for a very long time.

No mechanical changes, but some different content packages available:

2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class: A Sport Package was newly optional for 2001 E320s and E430s. It included firmer suspension, special upsized wheels and tires, and "aero" lower-body styling.

2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class: The E320 Special Edition sedan was introduced this year with new 17-inch alloy wheels, black bird's-eye maple interior trim, and other amenities. To this, the new E430 Special Edition added xenon headlamps and headlamp washers. A redesigned model was in the works for '03.
