    Back in the MB fold and looking for tyre recommendation

    Update: the car was delivered on Friday and a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 5’s went on yesterday. I’ve no idea if the Asda ditch-finders were as bad as the online reviews say, but I prefer not to find out. Thanks for all your help folks. oh, and obligatory new car pic

    Back in the MB fold and looking for tyre recommendation

    Hi there. I'm jumping back into into the MB fold after a fun couple of years in company dual motor Polestar 2. Have just bought a nice 2015 S212 E350 Night Edition with low miles and good service history but cheap chinese rubber that will be coming straight off (yes cheap tyres are a red flag...

    W219, A future classic?

    I trend to think of 20 years from the end of production being the rough timescales when cars emerge into classic status these days - thinking to the 80s and early 90s stuff coming to prominence now. The youngest 219s are only seven, so a bit to go yet! I do think they will get there though...

    Recommendations for a bike rack to fit CLS

    A quick bump on this thread as I can confirm the same - Thule 753 foot pack and 3049 fitting kit which they list for W218 CLS also fits fine on the W219. Just thought it would be useful info as all the retailers I spoke to said there was no Thule fitting available. Cheers

    What is the best all round car you've driven

    My current w219 CLS GE. Comfortable, effortlessly quick, economical enough not to hurt. It's also got styling that is dating brilliantly, avoiding both the angularity of the 212/218 era and the identikit blobbiness of the current models

    We need a Landrover sub-forum

    Well, since you bumped it, I might as well jump on the bandwagon with my weekend toy. 1989 110 One-Ten County Station Wagon V8 to give her her full name. Ground up restoration on a galvanised chassis 5 years ago and run in nicely at 203,000 miles. Factory built with the 3.5 Rover V8 so quite...

    CLS - best looking Merc ever?

    True! I think the front is good - it's just that the rear three quarter view is outstanding

    C180 vs C220

    I had a W204 C320 Elegance on 17s followed by a C250 Sport on 18s. Non-sport chassis much nicer in my opinion over higher miles. I didn't find the Sport ride that bad per se, but non Sport was definitely more cosseting and not much soggier round the corners. As passengers my wife and...

    Should get someone's attention. Kudos to the owner for the direct action.

    Just bought a W219 CLS Grand Editon

    Ha ha, yes - I even invested in some cleaning products yesterday rather than just taking it down to the local hand wash place like I have been doing with the company cars for years. I started talking to the wife about snow foam and she looked quite alarmed...
