adaptive

I'm a bit of a fanatic about my cars and like to know them inside out. So, having purchased a 2007 SL350 I also managed to get an original brochure and price list from eBay. I noticed in the price list, listed amongst the standard equipment is adaptive accelerator pedal. I can't find mention of...

Can anyone tell me when adaptive transmission was introduced? I am wondering if the SL 280 & 320 of 1998/99 had it.

I was speaking to someone the other day with a weird issue on his 1995 SL500. The back end of the car would rise to its maximum height and wouldnt come down. He'd replaced the pump and the rear actuator and the problem remained. Apparently it had just come from back from a well known...

I'm a bit surprised at this since I would have thought that the ECU...

Just bought the E55 AMG tiptronic model and after 500 miles got around to reading the manual, like you do. Found I had adaptive suspension. Can't honestly see the point of the sports setting except on a race track but the comfort setting is perfect for motorways, fast roundabouts, B roads...
