By-Tor Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 M5, a great super sedan. I just recently bought a "hobbyist car" BMW E39 and fell in love with the brand again. E28 still has "special place" in my heart as E28 528i was my first ever "nice car". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 A rep Benz. Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Rep Benz? Just like Breitling is a rep Rolex, eh Dave? I also "own" a new Merc E200 CDI (my company car). It's my third Merc in a row. I have to say BMW's have more spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I have a Benz and a BMW in my driveway (of course the lady drives the BMW),a rep Benz without question. But its like a Mustang guy in a room full of Vettes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 isnt Mercedes Benz German for "made in Mexico"? i dont like either really, last bmw i fell in love with was at the end of the millennium. since then its been all about the Audi's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 @Dave: As promised. Here's my new E200 CDI and a Breitling. You like? Golf is for the wifey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Nice, BT (i'm not as drunk as those earlier posts ) Nothing cruises like a MB sedan,just need to slap some tint on that thing... Nice watch as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Thanks D. I love my BMW E39 though. It's an awesome car. It's now in my father's garage. I found new leather seats for it. And when it comes to handling, I actually liked my old Merc E better (2003 model). The new E-klasse has way too soft suspension. It's a taste thing of course, but I prefer harder... more "German" suspension. This drives like a big Peugeot 605/607, without the French cruisers' unique comfort. And the interior wood parts are black. This is the "Avantgarde"-model though. Maybe that has something to do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i first started driving,my dad had a 1991 300E,that thing was a tank,i still say had to be one of the best MB sedans ever built (or any sedan for that matter) ,nothing they make today was a reliable as that car,drove it forever and fixed nothing. They are not what they use to be but i still love them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Oh yes now we're talking. I had the 124 too. Brand new... last 1995 model (the facelift, remember?). Black... with grey trim on the doors. "Last great Merc" as they say. But mine was diesel... it was lazy as hell. E250 20 valve model... it had that "grill" on the right fender. 112 hp and ZERO torque w/ low rpm. 500E would be a great hobbyist car.

Dave123 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 My wife a purist,as she says..."what happened to when they just had the big Mercedes and small Mercedes,both the same car but different size?,now they have a million different cars".... A woman's take (that doesn't follow cars) but MB did get way to carried away,not sure if it was the Chrysler merger but i think so. The B Class i see on the road makes me want to vomit. Your pic there is classic MB,the best at the time and they can't replace... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrboombasteke Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 @Dave123--Ok, now we know you're LOADED!!! @By-Tor--Nice Benz. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford a rep Benz too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Yeah... I like the older cars much more. I don't know what it is but getting a new car does nothing for me. It's owned by our company and if something comes up you drive it to the official Merc service. They're STERILE. But buying a 10 or 20-year old car in pristine condition is something else. Those cars have "spirit". Plus when you run into a problem you can still be a real man and fix it yourself. With these new cars... they have Windows7 with a few viruses inside. These two models have always fascinated me. BMW 850 and Porsche 928. I don't know what it is... maybe it's because they weren't so much "in your face" models... like the 'Vette and 911. Actually I might get one... they're not that expensive to buy. PS: I also have a "soft spot" for the Frenchies. Peugeot 607 must have been the best looking sedan in the whole decade. Great looking car (imho). The new 508 was a huge downgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
