One more thing, is it true that CarPlay is not wireless? And it's not a touchscreen in the earlier models?

Oh that's good to know, so the car I'm looking at has the new steering wheel so I assume it's an MY19 car. It actually has all the options I'm looking for, it's in Iridium Silver though which I don't hate but it's probably my least favourite colour apart from White, so need to decide how I feel...

what were the main differences between a 68 plate and a 69 plate? Anything?

Standard sport seats in the R8 but done long journeys in a car with the buckets. I think standard seats in the Merc will be better but the challenge is finding one that meets the spec!

What are the views on the AMG performance seats? I'm not the smallest of people and (says it quietly so she doesn't hear), neither is the wife. We're not at waddle level, but carrying a bit more than we should! So although the seats look heavily bolstered, are they ok? I have heavily bolstered...

haha I do actually have something similar but not specific driving gloves. Might have to invest! So what do we reckon, any downsides to the E63S? Apart from the missing spec

Once you’ve had heated steering it’s really hard to give up! Driving assistance I could do without. But heated wheel would be great but not possible it seems. A retrim would definitely help so that’s an option

Decided to go for slightly newer model, looking at a late 2019 now, couple that I'm viewing this weekend. Both are premium plus, HUD. Im going to be losing a lot from my current car which is specced like mad. I'm losing heated steering wheel, driving assistant, lane assist etc etc. I can't find...

Hi looking to purchase one of these as I need to replace my daily and this ticks many of the boxes. Does anyone have any pointers on them or things I should be on the lookout for? Thanks

Nearly 2 years later, I definitely still don’t have the car! Haven’t kept a car longer than a year I don’t think!

Well, I did my tests and in the end, and in the flesh side by side, the R8 edged it for me. The AMG is so curvaceous and sexy I admit but it feel visually too lost in a sea of 911s. The Merc is definitely better looking than the 911s but the R8 feels more purposeful and I love the angles. It...

You think the Audi is common? I don’t know is the Merc would become common if it had been around as long? RWD is great but I’ve had a lot of them recently, and mid engined was a bit of a change to try something different. The other minor thing is that I’d like something that will hold its value...

You may remember (you probably won't!) that last year I was debating between selling my CLS 350 and moving up to an E63 or a CLS63 for family duties. What I did in the end was buy a BMW M6 Competition and a BMW 540i Touring. I love both these cars, the touring especially is just perfect, being...

Petrol, 540i

Haha sorry this car has literally every option the made and I'm never letting it go, I know I shouldn't say it on a Merc board but it's fantastic

No I still have the M6, that's the fun car, I decided to get a new family car for the whole family to travel in

Can't believe you're selling already! I have a new 5 series touring otherwise I would have seriously considered buying it back!

If you mean Carbon brakes and Bootmod3 then yes it has carbon brakes and no I haven't got BM3 but I have thought about it, need to look into it more

Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying it but I probably should have kept it as the family car after all! Yes the exhaust invoice with the car was over 7k! Some more pics of the M6 for anyone interested

Haha, once this Covid stuff is over I will be travelling up Occasionally as one of my team is up there, who knows, could make it happen!
