Been a while since posting the original pics, been 5 months since getting it and covered 3000 miles on mainly long trips, its a fast car, it does feel big but I've found the lower it is the smaller it feels (weird I know!) and all my previous cars were lowered slightly.
- Gearbox; Comfort mode is a little laggy, sport+ is a little too aggressive sometimes, sport mode is a good balance.
- Suspension; Ride is harder than the w212 which was harder than the w211!
- Fuel; thirstier than the w212 and w211, not by much but enough to notice, so the 80 litre tank is a must!
Since getting it the following enhancements were added
- Back on the signature number plate.
- Car was fully ceramic coated by BR Detailing in colchester using Titan products. I think I have only had to wash. the car twice which is good as its a big car to wash.
- Added a Rear wing which is subtle but fits into the OEM finish.
- Lowering module was purchased from MWMods, at the moment its only used to lower the car at shows until I have time to get the alignment done.
- Road Angel hard wired from lighter socket in rear passenger area.
- Lost a rear wheel cap - so sourced a replacement for that - these may come off and standard cap added as it looks so much better.
Leather Airbag is on order, crazy that they put a cheap plastic one on a flagship model, but MB have always done this. Still debating the grill change and de-chrome.
that's all for now! Will post airbag pics when it comes.
