Considering a performce exhaust on my c220, the issue I have is deciding whether to go with the classic 4 amg style tips or go For a c350 look and have just 2. I know 100% that I would like either 2 or 4 because I think it tidies up the back end nicely. Any opinions are appreciated...

Hi All Was hoping for some opinions from people who have driven both the W212 and BMW F10 5 Series, if you had a £14k budget which one would you go for? due to budget it'll be the early models of each so I'm a bit concerned about reliability of both models, looks like I can just about get a...

Hi All, I'm considering a W221 S500 (or S63 if price is right). What is the general consensus on these please? Thinking of looking at an 08 plate S500 tomorrow. I seem to remember the early W221s had reliability issue so would assume an 08 plate comes in to that category? Are there...

Hi Having never owed a Mercedes I'm now seriously considering a c350 coupe with prices around half what they were new on some really well speced low mileage examples. I was wondering if anyone on here owns or has owned one if they could give me their opinions on the positives and negatives...

Hi Guys, Does anyone know what the definitive values are supposed to be for the ML270 in terms of wheel alignment (possibly a question for WIM). At the weekend I had the alignment checked on a Hunters machine at my local branch of North eastern tyres and Exhausts in Knaresborough and got the...
