Actually your car decisions mean nothing to me. I would have thought that your W212 was long gone. Yet you hang around on the W212 forum. I was actually complementing Hype on his choice of cars. He puts his mouth where his money is, CLS, E550, Porsche twin turbo. If you think that your bargain basement (BMW needed to bump the numbers to come out on top for Dec sales) means anything on this forum your sadly mistaken. Hype...will you let me drive your Porsche??? Please Isn't it time that you take your BMW 1,3,4,5,6,7 and go away. Frankly the 535i M Sport looks like a racy Checker cab. Please take your BMW box and drive into the sunset.

Along with my 2011 W212.. I have my boat and 2012 GMC Hauler for the boat.

I'm planning on a sports car of some sort... 911, Maybe the 2014 vette.., or a used Aston Martin Vantage V8.

Thanks Hype!

You are so right that they are a lot of work. Thats why I'm selling it. I estimated that I could own a $100K+ car for the cost of the boat, truck, etc. And still save money...

As far as the Aston is concerned, I haven't been able to get that one out of my mind since I test drove it in Dec ( posted pics earlier in this thread).

I love that Turbo 911.... That was one of my favorite 911 body styles.

I am with Steel on this K-A talks a lot of rubbish and goes on and on. Here is my significant other (for now) I am a new rider so I have a restriction on my license. One that restriction comes off (sadly not for another 2 years) I will unleash a Yamaha YZF R6 ABS

Actually my mother died two years ago at the age of 89!! KKK little girl...I'm actually 66 so little girl is not appropriate...maybe old dude would work. I've just been reading this forum for a couple of years now and I find your ad nauseum posts to be a bit much. I don't know what you do for a living...but, i can tell that you are not a professional designer of anything. As someone who spent their 35 year career as a professional designer. I find your design critiques amusing and nieve.

Please just move on to the Bimmer forums and leave us alone...we'll do just fine without your input.

K-A is an old friend. We have been part of this forum for many years. Right now he is very excited about his new car. And so he should be.

It's nice to read a different point of view sometime. A little diversity is always good. Excluding today, he is usually very civil. Personally, I would hate to see him leave.

Thank you sir. I mean, look at that post count under that name! I've put in my time. And yes I don't see why sharing our new purchases if consolidated in the appropriate thread/s (i.e me not going into threads and out of nowhere bringing up "My F10" this or that) would be so frowned upon. Some people are simply sensitive. Not to mention, if "steelgrey" is the same person I'm thinking he is, he has an E-Coupe, not an E Sedan. Though who cares?

My E-Class is officially gone now, btw. I think it deserves an appropriate thread for its farewell, what say you, steel?

You owned and MB for a long time and now have a BMW...who cares? You will be back in the MB fold in the future and your current throughts are more than welcome. Personally i have an 09 CLS550, 11 E350 Wagon and 10 535 M Sport and they are so different but all loved!

Im sure you are loving your 535 M Sport...very rare actually with the M Sport. Have you gotten the itch yet to chip it? My 535 is and it is night and day!

Thanks man! I really don't understand what the HELL some people's issues are here. I haven't recklessly "bashed" the W212 anywhere. Saying I like my new car better or worse or whatever is something any intelligent adults should be able to civilly handle.

I haven't YET, but MAN I am thinking about it! How much do they run? I'd love Dinan or something OEM-approved. This thing is super fast to me right now, with the N55/SAT 8 Speed combo, so I can only imagine it with the Chip!

Oh really? Then what was your little obsessive tirade bringing my "name" up out of nowhere while you were trying to pee on Hype's leg? When the hell was the last time we ever corresponded on this Site anyway? Talk about a random venting.

If I got drunk one night and drove my F10 into your living room telling you that you better love it and that it makes your M-B look and feel like a POS unworthy of my line of sight, then I apologize, as based on your random obsessive rant I don't know what else could have happened.

Why don't you be appropriate to the thread and post your second car to your W212? 'Cause I responded exactly with that, at the time of my post. It is YOU who has been dragging this good idea of a thread through the mud. Get over it, get on with it, and contribute.

I would never Pee on Hypes leg...He is a man who lives his passion. Oh yea he doesn't live that passion on leases. He BUYS!!! them. Let's see K-A your the guy that leases and to keep the price down...you lease for less mileage than you drive. How fondly I remember the multi page thread to find you a second car...too many miles on the 2012. So we rent!!!

Wow, you are a moron. Sorry Petee, but sometimes the blunt truth is just the blunt truth.

Attacking someone's sense of finance now? How do you know my Lease terms? You making things up now re: "getting less mileage than I lease"? You can't even do that with BMW or Mercedes from what I know. Who do you think you are, Mr. C Coupe? I'm less than half your age, command some respect.

Why don't you post your second car to your non-existent "W212" and contribute to the thread at hand, instead of trying to drag the nice guys attempt at a solid subject of a thread through the dirt?

Sorry, Jim. There's no rule on this forum that says only M-B owners allowed.

It's really not a big deal to me but I'll stick around just to spite the few weirdo's who get miffed that "one of theirs" could have jumped ship. Don't complain about the heat and call out "ridiculous" when it's you guys turning up the furnace. Perhaps you missed all the "E-attacks" by "steelgrey", yourself and a couple of others which were unprovoked.

And here's the significant other I had during the time I had my E. I drove it cross State seemingly hundreds of times, and it was insanely durable and reliable. Rarely ever washed it, parked it outside, and after over 2 years sold it for just $200 less than what I bought it for!
