Hello from new member and pics of my ride!

Hi everybody :wavey:
Finally got my car, after what appears to have been a very long wait. So far, enjoying every single moment. What a great car. I'm in the UK - Yorkshire to be more precise. This V6 is one heck of an engine - diesel mind you, but still wow! It does 100 mph at barely tick-over rpm. Took it (very briefly) to 130 mph without it working a sweat. So far, it's returning an average of 31 mpg, with 70:30 town:open road driving. So not bad at all. Look forward to share my experiences, mods etc with you guys and learn from you as well. To start off, here are some pics to share. |
Hi and welcome to the forum, nice to welcome another Brit.:)
Plenty advice from some knowledgable guys on this site.:bow: Nice Ride by the way:zoom: |
Thanks ManchesterMerc. We are pratically neighbours! Manu fan by any chance?
I am enjoying the ride, but can't say I'm enjoying filling it up. Just cost me £80 to fill up my tank to the brim. That's 160 USD or 100 EUR for a tankful of diesel:crazy:Absurd. |
go ManU, love the team except for the pretty boy.... who can't kick penalties, i'm sure you know who i mean.

Where abouts in Yorkshire are you from?. Not really a football fan but I tend to follow Man City but I do prefer a northern team to win. Don't understand why we pay 10p a litre more for diesel when most of the rest of europe diesel is cheaper:nix: |

ya i saw the match, but during the worldcup on portugal i think he's the ultimate diver/actor ever to play the sport, sure its part of the game but he just over does it.
sure i guess he's good, just not the attitude. but i must admit he has some amazing crosses. oh ya and congrats on the car! hope you enjoy it! when my gf moves to london from canada, it's going to be interesting going there and seeing the cars on the "wrong side" :zoom: |

welcome |
Congrats !
Getting mine the 9th June (S204). Planning on going the Brabus route ? :) |
wish we could get the diesel here in the states, I driven the e-class with the cdi diesel and it runs great
|
Welcome,
would you do me a favor and take a picture of the storage space in your console where the sliding cover is? I'm thinking about doing the conversion but I want to see what type of space is inside of there. Thanks!

But is this conversion possible? I suppose you will have to replace the entire centre console + the bit that's attached to the armrest. How much will that cost you roughly? |
Tax my friend. Simple as that. Did you know that, even if you were to fill your car up with used cooking oil, you are legally obliged to tell the tax man and pay the fuel duty on that! Blood suckers Queensbury is a lovely part of West Yorks. I do a lot of driving around Halifax,Bradford,Leeds. |

Originally wasn't it 2p per litre extra on diesel when they reduced road tax on HGV's but now it's 10p:eek:

It is a decent size - approx 2.5 to 3 inches deep as it's deeper towards the back as the console/armrest slopes up. You can fit in a glasses case for example. I'm sure our other US members will be keen to know how your retrofit goes, as I know a lot of people hate those twin cup-holders. |
Enjoy
I am fun of C320 CDI but it seems it has not AMG Sport Pack. :confused:
it is better with amg sport pack and also like it's face :y |

Wanted cream interior+burr walnut wood, which you can't get with the Sports model. Now I know that European models, you can order the AMG pack with the Elegance, which I've got to admit would have been my preferred option, if it was available to me. Oh well:nix: |

The cupholder for the UK model that fits inside the compartment is £20 about $40.

AMGTestDriverNJ, yeah for approx £20/$40 you can buy a plastic 'lid' with 2 cup holder holes in it. It fits just inside the box. If you look carefully at the pics, you'll be able to see the grove around the box, where it locks in. The good thing with that set-up is you can still close the sliding cover, when not using the cup holders - making it quite neat.
I can get you the part number if you need. I'm sure any dealer from here will be happy to ship one to you. factor in about £20/$40 extra for shipping costs. |

It's simple. In the UK, the AMG pack only comes with the Sports model. You cannot have it on the Elegance model.
