Thanks for the replies, I'd forgotten about this wanted ad. I've got my replacement car at the beginning of December, couldn't find a suitable Mercedes at the time and bought a low mileage, high spec BMW 440i Grand Coupe.

Be sure to check the insurance cost if you're considering a RR - many owners have been shocked at renewal time. Also ensure that the keyless entry has been updated and consider additional security. They're very popular with thieves and are easy to steal.

Update I bought a 440i GC with adaptive LED headlights, HUD, HK in dark blue. BMW approved used. Already bought some winter wheels shod with Michelin Alpins. Goes well and is comfortable. Engine is very nice and makes a nice noise when extended, good to be back in a petrol powered car.

Thanks for all your interest. Car is now sold to a nice chap that didn't call me bruv or try to low ball me. He understood it's an 14 yo car that has been looked after and does have some niggles and I'd taken the issues into account in the pricing. For a previous car, Audi S3, one chancer...

Ok - fully understood.

no problem, we're mostly friendly here :) from memory all post 2005 diesel cars have (or had) DPF. Some (naughty) people remove them, they're the ones driving cars or vans with big plumes of smoke behind them (if it wasn't tuned properly) as inevitably they'd be over fuelling. Even properly...

Machtech - true re hybrid, though the extra complication of both powertrains would worry me.

I've been looking at C63/E63 with the M156 V8. It has a few inherent design issues, such as head bolts that rust causing head gasket failures or leaking of coolant. There are also issue with the hydraulic tappets too. How common are these problems? Would you get the bolts replaced or just take...

My car has the same engine, but in a higher state of tune 320. I get 700 miles to the tank on the motorway. It warms up to >80c very quickly and stays there. Around town I get about 26mpg. My long term average is 38 mpg as I only really use it for long journeys. If I drive it gently I get 44mpg...

I know this a MB forum, but most of us appreciate other cars too. I've been looking at a replacement for the family car, I've looked at BMW 430i and 440i. Any one have experience of the Audi equivalent? A5/S5 Sportback?

Looking for a CLS Shooting brake or E Class estate (3.0 and above). CLS400 SB will be perfect, but I don't think there are many around. Multi beam LED headlights preferred. Let mw know what you have.

A boot protector has been in use Cup holders with the silver bits flaking Rear brake disk (the other side is similar) Front brake disk (the other side is similar) This is the distance I can do on a full tank of Shell V Power GTL diesel. You can see, almost 700 miles.

button for the adaptive suspension can get stuck sometimes Got two original keys, both work electric memory seats work fine as do the windows A boot protector has been in use

I'm selling my 2009 Mercedes Benz CLS 320 CDI. It's very comfortable. Has airmatic with 3 settings. It rides on original 17" MB wheels shod with Michelin Cross Climate all seasons tyres. These have about 4mm tread left. This rides as well as a S Class, but relatively cheap to run and much...

I'm looking at =>2015 CLS, I'm getting on a bit :) and would like the projection and reach of decent adaptive LED (or laser) lights. Are they standard across the models or specific to an options pack? Anyone know what the option packs include on the 2015-2018 CLS? Are there must have options...

All in good time.

I was close to going to see it and chuck a bid in (above the WBAC and Motorway figure, but not much more), though it may cause some domestic kerfuffle as we have too many cars at chez six cylinders and I'd have to change my 'handle'.

It's gone at last - any one from here the new keeper?

I wouldn't mind a Morgan Super 3 :-)
