I wondered what the noise was

Mrs D has just set off for her first time driving it

Mrs D managed an incredible 29.9 mpg, over 58 miles in 2 hours 4 minutes. That seems too good to be true!

When she got back we then took it together to the gym & swim. Today will probably be a fairly typical day for it.

Mrs D is very pleased with the car. which is a bit of a relief. We do need to quieten it down slightly though.

Impressive & appreciated though it is BD, I don't actually see much of your lauded "Nappa Leather interior" in the pic in post #71 ??

Especially for you

I suspect the weight of my (not) muscular torso combined with my (not) boney bum will soon ruin that!

You’re too kind! You wouldn’t be on the M40 long before you turned around and bought it back!

Thank you for that BD (although I'd like to point out that in verbalising the request I was "taking one for the team", rather than addressing some personal craving ).

Having said ^ that it does appear exceptionally well presented, and the colour combination strikes just the right balance imho. - Not plain and drab, but not too vivid as to become gaudy & loud. Very lovely indeed mate, enjoy.!

What I like about it is (unlike some other tuners we could mention), Kleemann have resisted the temptation to 'shot-gun' the interior with logos randomly applied to every surface.

Cheers Olly, I appreciate that

Inside and out there are no visual clues that it’s anything other than a completely standard car, albeit an AMG model, which I love about it. All of my cars look factory.

In period there was a styling pack available which included two wheels (same design but one was split rim) a subtle front bumper extension, badges, etc.

If you have a very keen eye - and are very close up - then you might notice that the quad exhaust tips don't have AMG logos on them, they are Kleemann tips. That’s it.

Let's be honest: no-one is going to be close enough to the rear bumper for long enough to spot that

New wipers, 12v USB, and lightning cables all arrived, ready for fitting along with the AMG fuel cap which arrived a few days ago. I need some key rings next but Mercedes have really ramped up the price of key rings!
