[Dave's E55 AMG]

It's all down hill from now on.

 

[roadhog]

Why not? Surely better than Daimler Chrysler.

Arch rivals.... Like Liverpool and Man Utd. :cry:

 

[jberks]

Not a bad thing if some of BM* chassis expertise creeps over to MB and MBs design prowess trickles to BM. Both are manufacturers of teutonic quality machinery so there could be benefits all round.

 

[power-steering]

Yes I agree with benefits all round.. would this also lower the costs of production I take it.. which SHOULD result in lower retail costs of buying new?

 

[Micman]

Well I suppose we could form one big gang and pick on Audi

lol

 

[BoyBlue]

Pick on Audi

BMW own most of VAG

 

[jibcl500]

BMW own most of VAG

I thought that was Porsche?

[PeterCLK]

Perhaps it's to pay the gigolo.

 

[stats007]

I thought that was Porsche?

jib

It is, BMW have no involvement with Audi.

 

[power-steering]

...I still prefer my Nissan's but then maybe this isn't the right place to make such an announcement :mrgreen:

 

[television]

I wonder if the BMW version will have more indicators than the BMW version

 

[Splatt]

Just so long as MB stay in control of the body styling !! We don`t want our Mercs to start wearing chinky grins like the bummers.

Malcolm! I think I know what you mean,though.

 

[Alex M Grieve]

Malcolm! I think I know what you mean,though.

I think he got over-excited!

Yes you are correct my mistake, thanks.

 

[JEZ.S320L]

I wonder if the BMW version will have more indicators than the BMW version

... and MB's with front foglights that don't have an 'off' switch :cry:

 

[jpbp200]

I think I would buy an E-540i or maybe even an M5-AMG........

 

[MBDevotee]

It's Porsche that owns VAG.

I heard in Autocar that they were considering a joint platform for the A class replacement - however that talks had broken down.
