I've had the pleasure of a few hours in a friends one driving it and have to say what an awesome car!!, at first I was really unimpressed with its power thinking "is that it?" because compared to an AMG engine they have no power at the bottom of the rev range, it's a really peaky V8 but once you...

Well i've been in Germany a few days and had the above as a rental car. Well I never thought I would say this about a BMW but I was glad to give it back. Firstly the I6 3 litre engine is still as good as ever and the ZF 8 speed auto box with steering wheel paddles is good but its still an...

Hi After looking round for a while I've changed my S211 (Brabus D6, black metallic) for a S212. The '62 plate S212 E350 is quite a "good spec" compared to large number of standard spec ex-Merc cars at the dealers. Metallic black, tinted windows (aka The hearse) 19" AMG alloys Panoramic...
