I'm putting this post up for a friend of mine who wants to buy a E30 BMW from germany :crazy: but he wants to get the car picked up in Germany and delivered to his house/port. Any ideas on how he could do that?? Has anybody had any experiences bringing a car in from Germany and getting it...

As above, what sort of drive is this and what time would a round trip take?

Just got back from our annual visit to the wife's family in the south of Germany: Virtually all of that was the round trip ... we were mostly chauffeured around in the in-laws R350L The V6 Vito Dualiner is a great family vehicle :) 3 kids and 2 dogs on the outbound leg (the...

We are off to ze fatherland for a few days in August mainly to see a concert. I've never driven over there before. Anyone have any tips, I've already sussed out the unlimited autobahn sign :devil:

Just a quick post to say merc's atitude to goodwill repairs is not all bad. Noticed two tiny areas of rust in both rear wheel arches of my C55. So small it hardly shows on the photos. However, after being defeated by rust on my C36, i thought i would 'nip it in the bud'. So i went along to the...

I introduced myself in the first thread i made, but i think it's apropriate to do it properly :D Well, my name is David and i'm (obviously - see title :rolleyes:) from Germany. To be exact, from bavaria, but i am not a bavarian myself, i'm more a swabian myself, maybe that explains my...

Anyone fancy a 2012 weekend trip to the home of AMG and/or the Nurburgring?

Hi, folks! :) My name is Marvin, I am 18 years old, from Germany. I'm in love with my 190E 2.3, I got it 2 months ago. It's my first car :bannana: It was only about €1,600 (£1,300) but it's in a very good condition, almost stainless. Pictures and some information can be found here...

I've a W124 estate, and will need some parts in the future, I have called MB and even after discount of %20 they are still expensive. I was wondering if it'd be worth either taking a trip to germany or even ordering parts from there. Would anyone have knowledge or experience of this being...

Our car is ready in Germany, but unfortunately due to work commitments I can't go to pick it up as planned so have had to ask them to ship it to our Dealer in the UK. :doh: The spec is as follows, for those that are interested: C63 AMG in Palladium Silver Metallic with black leather AMG...

Hi all, I've been working in Germany for a while now and currently drive a 1996 Mitusbishi Legnum VR-4 with a a few subtle and not-so subtle mods. Although it gives the German marques a few embarassing moments (0-60 is under 5.5 seconds wet or dry) it's starting to feel it's age and needs some...

All, I am due to be driving to Cologne at the end of the week, and as my W210 needs some injector/seal attention, was wondering if it would be cheaper to get it done there. Does anybody know of any garages in northern/western Germany that could be recommended? I know its a longshot and...

Hello to everyone. I'm from Germany, althought I live all around Europe during the year, and I'm the prided owner of a W209 CLK. I'm very pleased of being part of this forum and I'm wishing to learn a lot of new things about our cars here. Thanks!

Not sure if this has been posted before but I came across this site earlier, they seem to do lots of secondhand and reconditioned stuff for lots of MB models. Shipping rates are pretty good too..... German SPOB: MERCEDES NEUTEILE & GEBRAUCHTTEILE & REGENERIERTE ERSATZTEILE & ZUBRHÖRTEILE

Hi, My first post and Mercedes. Made the switch from Audi to Mercedes recently and must say I now know where the "Class" in models designation comes from. What a car, amazed at quality, fun of driving, service, everything :). I am looking at switching my pristix wheels for some Pulaha 18". I...

Hi All, I bought a new (new to me) car last week, just looking through the service manual and the pre inspection was done in Germany (the previous owner did point this out to me at the time of sale), does this make my car an import? A week after the car was inspected it was registered in the...

Hi, Ive found the bumper I need for the w210 on ebay.de The trouble is the shipping costs, has anyone bought a bumper and had it sent from Germany recently? If so, which carrier was it? Thanks

I am sure I have read somewhere (but can't find it) that there is a place in Germany that supplies 2nd hand parts. Anyone got any details.

Anyone know of how i can go about looking to buy a car from Germany and bring it to the UK?

I am having THE mother and father of a bad experience with Mercedes / AMG 'customer services'. As the the owner of a 'factory special' manufactured in 2000, picked up direct from the factory, and never put on a customer data base (until I asked for it to happen in 2006), I was advised by...
