Hi folks, it is to go in an 1989 230e that originally had a Blaupunkt Melbourne SQR 39 fitted. Thanks.

I hear you but I sold for £34k and its losing at least £6k per annum. I would consider an E55 AMG as they are now starting to appreciate in value. No doubt the same will happen to the E63 at some point in the future.

Very good condition winter tyres with 6mm tread remaining (practically new). I have been very impressed with these tyres and would have had no hesitation using them all year round. I have used them for 8 months over to winters and completed very few miles; i'd guess 4k miles only. I can email...

After 2 years of happy motoring in the E63, it has now gone to a good home. Circumstances have changed and given that I do a max of 6k miles per annum, I took the decision that depreciation was too great for such a low mileage. Without any doubt, it has been the best car I have ever owned. Just...

Guys, thanks for the responses, off to see the car shortly, will keep you posted :)

Folks, I have never done this before, hence this request, but I am looking at a Jap import tomorrow and want to try and understand what I would need to do to it to make fully UK compliant. I understand that I would need to get it the underside wax oiled (approx £600) and get the speedo changed...

Very nice, love the Silver/Black combo.

Folks, I have seen the above cars for sale for about the same price and mileage and both in excellent condition for age. As a daily driver, which would you go for? Surely you would go for the E280, right? It has leather, air con and a more modern engine none of which you get on the 230e...

No but I would certainly want to give it a go. Have you had a try yourself, or anyone else for that matter?

Gents, I have had a change of heart after the dealer gave me 48 hours in a C43 saloon. He was always of the mind that I would not be 'fully' satisfied moving from my E63 to a C43 and he was right. Perhaps they do know a few things about their cars! Let me be very clear, the C43 is a great car...

Quite right, P Zeros. However, I have been so impressed with the winter tyres, I don't think I will bother to swap them back now.

Not very; in terms of options, reversing camera only. I bought it at 6 months old from the Mercedes Brooklands, it was their sales directors car. Although its done 24k miles, I am on the original set of tyres which shows how gently its been driven. I do have some winters on at the moment but...

The sales guy said similar and I quote, "Why do you want to do that?" Reason being that I now, often, get the train to work and I do very few miles, the wife does not drive the E63 and wants a smaller car and the kids are out of Uni with their own transport. I was trying to find something that...
