1999 Mercedes Benz E 430: Opinions/Warnings/Experiences?

I'm 3 months from turning 15 & starting drivers ed, and my grandpa has given me his old 1999 Mercedes Benz E 430. He bought it as a gem in i think 2004, put a few dents and very few miles on it, then gave it to my aunt (who used it for about a year) and then it went back to him. He took it to the Mercedes dealer and had it's problems fixed (nothing major), and has given it to me. I rode in it and its very smooth, 275 HP V8, comfortable, and handles well. However, i've noticed a couple of service campaigns on the airbags, and from what i understand the fixes have not been done on this car. Does anyone know where i can find out the range of VIN numbers these recalls apply to? Also, any opinions/experiences on the car are welcome. I'm thrilled to have this as a first car, despite its many dents (being taken to paintless dent removal soon). BTW, i'm very very very well versed on cars, so "dumbing things down" is unnecessary ;) Thanks!
