A friend has just picked up his new E250 CDI Sport 7 spd Estate last week and he is raving on about how refined and grunty it is... I have spoken with my dealer about getting a lend of an E350 (whatever bodystyle) to try out the 265bhp engine over a weekend...in the meantime In think I'd...

You guys are a bad influence. Now you've not only got me thinking about a 350, but I know if I get one, I'll be 'obliged' to go Brabus D6S on it....and then there's Designo interiors...£££££££££..... I need to keep reminding myself "daily runner, don't go overboard..daily runner, don't go...

Close to 50 would be nice, this car's going to be my daily runner, sitting on cruise going up and down the M6, so performance isn't paramount... Having something economical will help me justify an exotic toy for the evenings and weekends (not that I need much persuasion :) )

I'm days away from confirming an order for a 2012MY E250 CDI Sport 'Edition 125' 7 spd Cabriolet. As I will be ordering Distronic, the price differential between this and a E350 with new new stop/start 265bhp engine is coming to c£1200 after discounting... I drive approx. 20k a year, so...

Hi Wing Co Yes the ED125 comes with Nav 50 as standard and you can upgrade to FF Comand for £785...overall saving of about £1200 after you have paid the extra £250 for the car

Having ordered then cancelled an E250 CDI Sport Cab in September last year, despite being offered a free 350 upgrade and being days away from factory collection in Germany, I'm about to place an order for a 2012MY E250 CDI this week. I guess I felt short changed last year as Benz was withholding...

Hi Stevie congrats on your order. I pulled out of a 250 cab late last year despite being offered a free upgrade to a 350 because i wanted to hold out for the new 250 7 speed cab. benz website still isnt showing coupe/cab 250s as having the 7 speed plus gearbox, so is it a case that it just...

5 points and £200 seems a v.harsh, as you would've got away clear with 79mph (10%+2mph)..I've heard of 4 points and £90 on the same stretch for a couple of friends doing up to 90-94mph It's theft courtesy of your local constabulary:devil: I think the appeal chance is before you plead guilty...

Can't speak for the Range Rover Sport drivers, but proper Range Rover drivers must be amongst the most relaxed anywhere... My money is on the Audi drivers for sure, always like they have something to prove

I recently added a post about my brief time with an F10 520d...absolutely stunning mix of performance (seriously goes), economy (combined 57mpg), VFM...it even looks great in Sophisto grey...you'd think that 8 ratios is too many for an auto, but just try this one out. Also interior is a fair few...

I've had a couple of Rangies, but am not enamered by their reliabilty, there's always something going wrong. On the positive side, there is not one car/4x4 in the world I would rather spend my time in more than the current Range Rover. If they say your heart beats slower in a Merc, try...

Beg to differ...HK is full of 300k+ miles Nissan Laurel and Toyota Qualis taxis and have seen a few 300k+ Lexus LS400s on ebay/autotrader Also, the Landcruiser is well recognised as the only vehicle they trust in the Outback/deserts of the Middle East, hundreds of miles from civilisation.

Agreed ***. I have experienced head gasket issues on a few 6 cylinder BMs in my time. Having said that, I have also had numerous build quality problems with MBs I've owned, but interestingly, only those built after 2000. The pre-2000 cars have had rust problems, but reliability and build has...

i ordered a E250 CDI Sport Cabriolet last month, but there are availability/gearbox supply issues at the factory, so expect a long delay or your ordered to be changed/cancelled. The Coupe/Cabs certainly do come with the steering wheel paddles even on the 5 speed box. I would definitely hold...

Do tell! Loads of examples though. Hundreds of 'cherished plates' for sale on eBay where the letters/numbers have been hugely and illegally distorted beyond recognition...the running theme is that '786' features in their title description, even if the number is not on the plate itself...

I think the R Class is a seriously underrated car, especially a nicely specd R320 CDI LWB..but if I needed to haul about more than 5 people, I'd always choose a Discovery TD V6 HSE...I've hired a couple of these on occasion and they are exceptionally good. Just a tad thirsty

illuminous gold/green C230k and now a white RCZ...looks like you have just bought Peter Stringfellow's old motor.....if you find a thong in there, you might wanna pop on some gloves before chucking it out.

This 786Majestic guy is pure class...absolutely love the ad.. If his plate is worth £1k and he reckons his wheels are £1k too, then why is he sttruggling to get £900 for the whole car? I think there are numeracy AND literacy issues here for sure Have seen '786' feature a lot with eBay...

Well done and fair play to the old boy who spent the extra penny for a new 230 Kompressor to go to church on a sunday...better he was never late for the service:)

lovely car - congrats. Is that Designo leather or just a strong flash on beige nappa?
