    GLE 43 AMG Tuning Query

    Hello, Before I commit to this new Gle43 (found 17 and 68 plate) with 367 and 390. What are the real gains over stock power and the new 0-60? Just trying to reason if it's really worth moving to Gle 43. Thanks in advance

    S Class W220/221 Buying advice for friend

    w221 11 or 13 plate. Then 58 still strong. I had one and loooooved it. Check my posts re runnings costs. Think i will do a swap with my work car for a w221 for the same price, cheaper insurance, fat better luxury and the amazing S style. Yes big but awesome cars.

    Update: I know and I am sorry. I like the 7th but there is nothing like an S. These are 2 worlds apart. The good thing about 7 is that you can drive it as a 5. I would not have another 7. A8 should not be compared with S. I drove a 55 edition and I felt like I was skidding all the time, noisy...

    Update: I have seen 5 so far and all are abused and run down. Shame really! I am going for a 350 tomorrow after work. More power, same mpg, lower insurance than a 280????. FMBSH + Wayne Gates MB Specialist. I am now double-excited haha

    Just got back. Ermm no. Few things I found : - cracked front bumper - glove box not closing at all - air filter housing loose? fixing points on the u/s just above the battery?? How? - engine seems fine, bit shaky at idle below 2000rpm. Oxygen sensor? spark plugs? coil packs? Apart from...

    c217 S500 2019

    Fully agree. well...he called after hours 5 times and I had to tell him off. Anyway I will get it from a specialist dealer. MB sales and aftersales are just nuts. And now I can compare MB with BMW: BMW wins hands down !

    c217 S500 2019

    AI couldn't get a sw S and went for a 740m performance which i really like but I drove a 560 2019 few months back and my mind got stuck on that car. Done a bit of homework and found out the s500 is far better. I hate the way MB dealers are haunting me for a sale. Had to tell to leave me alone...

    Fully agree with you re depreciation but you do get this with any car especially large cars. I am sorry if the title is a bit harsh and I know the differences between the two. Thought I'd give 7 a go. I do miss the elegance, the feel and the calm atmosphere in the S no wonder they call it ' the...
