2008 C300 - Love this car!

Hello, Jeff here from Columbus, OH. Just recently bought a 2008 C300 W204. Sporty, stylish, fun to drive! Love this car! Enjoying learning more about it through the forums.

Have a question about the grill. Need replacement emblem, but have been told that this is not the stock grill. I will put a more descriptive post over in the C-Class 204 forum. Thx.

MERCEDES S430 2002 MODEL
Smile Hello from Sydney AUS

I own a S430 2002 model and a ML430 2002 model.
Both cars have been serving me well until lately there have been a swag of problems.
May I should ask the MB world on tips to address them. Staring with the most pressing one about the annoying " Low beam left, Check lamp" malfunction message. How will I resolve this or should I just sent to a local electrician to fix it? Any suggestion is welcome. Cheers,

From: Atlanta via Detroit
2011 CLS 550
Ken from ATL

Whats up guys, yeah I'm new to the site and first time Benz owner. I have a 2011 CLS 550 with about 44k on the dash. Tan interior. It's all white with the AMG kit, wheels, and exhaust tips. I do have plans for the car.

1) Lower car via (module)
2) 20 inch concave rims - 20x11 305/25/20 and 20x9 265/35
3) Illuminated Door sills
4) Trunk lip spoiler
5) Upgrade the rear sub (without a box)
6) Steering wheel with wood trim
7) might change all interior lights to 6000k white leds.

Any advise from you guys would be great. If anyone is on here from Atlanta, if you can recommend and places for these items i'm looking for, would be helpful....

2018 GLC 43 4Matic
From Canada

Hi, I'm Stan from London, (the other one in Ontario, Canada). I just ordered my 1st M/B, a 2018 GLC 43 4Matic which should arrive sometime mid October. It will replace my aging but excellent 2006 Infiniti FX45. Even though it is a V8, the GLC 43 will leave it far behind. So moving down to a V6 will be painless.

2018 E400 Coupe
I will be a very proud, very excited new owner!

Greetings all. Have an ED planned for early March on a 2018 E400 Coupe. I believe I negotiated a pretty good price with my local Dealer. In addition to the 7% factory and no destination I was able to get them to split their 10% commission for a total of 12% off MSRP. In any case, I've always wanted a Mercedes and the E400 Coupe, in my opinion, is a perfect car. Now the hard part, waiting the almost 6 months to get my first taste.

Hello everyone,

David here from Berkeley, CA. I have a 2000 ML320 that I'd like to learn more about and this looks like the place with a wealth of info. I'm no stranger to German vehicles as I currently have a stable of B5 A4's. I'm hoping to learn how to keep the ML well maintained and enjoyable. Looking forward to being a part of the MBworld!

Kind regards,

2017 Mercedes E Class
2017 E Class in South Carolina

This is my third Mercedes; E 330 and C240 before. This has every option I could find except heads up display; e.g. parks itself, driver assist, etc.

The worst car of the bunch. I had it less than one month and the sound system went completely out; not even the navigation instructions worked. Dealer reset so I had to spend hour re-entering waypoints (favorites) and presets.

Now the whole command system goes out without warning; totally blank screen. $70,000 chunk of junk.

I may have questions later. In the meantime, I hope you all have better luck.

2007 Mercedes-Benz SL55 Performace Package
2007 Mercedes-Benz SL55 Iridium Silver




Hello Everyone! I purchased a 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL55 Iridium Silver with only 29,500 Miles! It is my Dream Car! In my opinion, there is nothing out there that compares to my car, except the SL65. The only thing that the newer models have that are better would be the stereo and navigation system! Everything from the slim design, horsepower, sterling silver rims and drop down hard top convertible are everything I could ask for in a car! Oh, and yes, the price for the car was fantastic! Sincerely, Ricardo

CLS 350 CDI
New experience

Hi I have owned a CLS 350 CDI for 5 1/2 years and just love it however I have just encountered an issue with an iPhone 6 after installing the latest iOS software 11.1 - the names will not download by Blue tooth to the car command system. I have deauthorised the iPhone and unpaired the IPhone and rebooted the phone but no joy. The names were downloaded correctly before the new software download on the phone
I have been to authorised Mercedes dealerships and the do not have the answer. Does anyone out there have a solution All the best from down under

Hi everyone here to hopefully sort out some problems for my Dad, he owns a 2001 SL (R129).
Unfortunately he has been ill for a while so his car has been standing in the garage with a flat battery for a while and has developed some electrical problems.

Wink New Member

Hi everyone, I am joining MBWorld as I am fan of DIY Repairs at the cars.
Used to drive W124 (E250D) so far, and recently imported a 2005 S600 - a lot more complicated and advanced than W124 - so I bet I'll have a lot of challenges and looking forward shearing and getting new experience. I love.. my wife, as for cars, things, I love harnessing them.

Thumbs up

Hello to all.

Though I originally signed up in 2007 - and lurked since then of course - I only recently decided to reply to a couple of posts.

I appreciated the knowledge base found on this [and other forum sites] and look forward to furthering my understanding of these marvelous vehicles.

Currently helping a friend with her 87 300TD wagon she recently purchased that is in stellar shape but will need some maintenance and a shot of Liqui Moly Super Diesel additive. 247k and purring like a kitten. Even the cruise control still works!!! Amazing.
