It doesn't have the pre-brake as a standard option but other then that he is on point, I went from a 3 Series after owning 2 in the last 6 years to this car because it was a bargain. You get more for less in MB then in BMW with the exception that the BMW has free maint.

Yep, MB has more perceived value, I had a BMW's for the past 15 years as one of our cars, driving dynamics leaning to BMW is slowly shifting to equal with the latest generation of MB's IMO, and the added new technology and sportiness make it a great value.

Given up on a S205 and ordered a S212
Finally a car reviewer who actually road tests from a "spending your own money" point of view, rather than a ***** to the wall perspective. Quite handy to as I have ordered the Silk/walnut combo myself, not a popular UK choice.
