    W211 (facelift) E320 CDI or E280?

    Just a quick one, haven't used this site for ages so please move the thread if it's in the wrong place. What sort of economy on long motorway/rural roads would you expect from a E320 CDI or a E280 petrol? Both facelift W211 models. Am I right in thinking the E320 always has the larger 80L fuel...

    Has anyone owned an M5 and an E63 AMG?

    I realise this is probably a stupid question in a Mercedes forum but hopefully there is someone out there who isn't a total fanboy of Mercedes and has owned or at least driven often an E60 and a 2007-2009 E63 AMG who can help me out. I need to buy a new car and I really fancy something...

    Probably coming back...

    What is the better motorway car? E39 M5 (facelift) or W210 E55 AMG (facelift)? I'm guessing that the M5 is the better drivers car but I rarely even try to drive fast on country roads, most of my driving is around the M25 in the small hours or going through Europe at a certain pace.

    Mercedes Cars

    Hi all, I'm generally always on the hunt for used Mercedes. If you're buying another one and want to trade in your existing one, I can possibly help with giving you a better bid than a main dealer as I've got a few guys in the trade who are great buyers of Mercedes. I can help with some of...

    C63 AMG M40/A40 Last Night

    Anyone off here? Your offside headlamp needs looking at, it's like the xenon unit isn't fixed it properly it wobbles slightly as you're driving as long. Great sounding car though. Can't believe how fast it takes off even at speed! Need an AMG now.

    I spent my Sunday cleaning...

    So I spent a few hours today cleaning my W220. The bonnet and front bumper is really chippy so I'm going to have to have a proper go at that next saturday I think. Other than that it came up really well. Does anyone know what wheels mine are supposed to be off? Is it a W211 or something? Does...

    Problem with keyboard hero.

    Hi everyone, I have an issue with a guy who emailed me when I was selling my S600L from Pistonheads offering me his 730d to swap for my W140, obviously alarm bells ring and it seems fraudulent. Out of interest I did a Experian check on the car and it was showing finance outstanding on the car...

    Not my first report on PCS and without question won't be my last unless I stop driving or leave the country. Booked in at very short notice to have my airmatic pump replaced on my w220. They managed to get the job done perfectly even though Mercedes didn't give me all the parts I asked for...
