ML320 BlueTech
Hello everyone! I'm Julie, and I bought (what turned out to be) my dream car this last December! I'm the proud owner of a 2009 ML320 with only 103k miles and one previous owner! I used to have a 1990 420SEL and another (I forget the year but the same body style as the '90 SEL) in diesel form. Happy to have another diesel car in my life that can tow our toy(s). Her name is Betty White - because she'll last forever, she's equal parts classy and pain in the ***, and she gives me a run for my money. Pretty sure MY Betty is far needier than the REAL Betty though, lol.

Hi everyone

Hi all, Rob here from Lincoln UK.

It's been a long time since I was a member of an owner's forum so really glad to be back. Here's a quick snap of my C250 at the jet wash from past week.


I look forward to following some of your projects and hopefully posting some of my own.

2015 c400
Hello 👋🏽

hello everyone my name is Javier, I purchased this c400 a month ago first Mercedes. I have a lot of plans for this thing so far a did a few exterior touches, soon this will have The following:

AMR stage 2 tune, wrap, wheels, intake, BOV, Coilovers installed, front lip, side splitters, carbon hood, shifter steering wheel, armytrix exhaust, rear carbon brabus diffuser, ceramic coating inside/outside, Braum seats.

I’m also looking for the c450/c43 mufflers just to have a temporary baby exhaust setup I just ordered down pipes and wanna pair it with the mufflers off a c450/c43 that way it’ll sound better rather than doing a muffler delete completely (which I’m not doing). So if anyone has there mufflers not being used and looking to get rid of message me 👀 I’m located in ct so I can do meet ups in ny, nj, mass somewhere where I don’t have to drive 8hours, I’ll do 2-3 hour drive.

Thanks in advance and look forward to seeing some of your builds.

GLK 350 Matic
The new Playa in Town

Hello Everyone

I just sold my BMW and acquired a 2013 GLK350 4Matic. My wife said I needed to slow my roll and so I listened. I look forward to the DIY and upgrades including mods if any.

Thanks

My 2013 GLK350 on some Mandrus 20" wheels wrapped in Pirelli 275/40/20

2006 e320 CDI
Hi !!

New member checking in...

Just picked up a one-owner '06 e320 CDI with only 90k miles. Pre-buy inspection went well and it has no rust, despite being an Ohio car which is where I am. So far, I'm loving it!

glc43 amg
Hello
I have a 2019 GLC43 AMG on the 255/40/R21 (front) & 285/35/R21 (rear) setup.
From montreal canada therefore serious winters.
I do not want to put a smaller size winter wheel setup because i like how the 21's look.
I am buying Pirelli Scorpions winter 265/45/R21 (front) & 285/45/R21 (rear). These sizes should be fine right? They're slightly bigger than recommended sizes but shouldn't be an issue right? Also, other than speedometer reading being off, should not be any other issues?

Thank you.
Had over 10 merc's in the past but in the last 2-3 years: C400, C450 amg. Perhaps the 2020 C43 coupe in the next month.

280 SL 1984
1984 280SL Thanks - I am a Brit living in USA (Florida) and own a 280 SL 1984. It was imported by a family friend from Germany post a visit to the factory. My father in law always loved the car and when the original owner wanted to sell he got first dabs. He only had the car for a short while before he died and it remained in the family until I took ownership. Although the car had the basic servicing oil changes etc. it was always reactive and the Michigan environment was not kind. I had it shipped to FL where I proceeded to get it back in order - there was allot to do!
I know find myself in a position where by I will return to the UK in a couple of years and the car will come with me.This is one of the reasons I joined this group for advice. I am going to post some questions in the forum but if anyone knows the answer to my first pressing Q that would be wonderful. I have sealed double headlight units and I assume will need to change to be UK complainant? Can I do this without swapping out the lights? If not where do I source them from? And I guess other than the standard MOT requirements what else will I need to do? I look forward to becoming an active member. Best Kevin

2010 ml350
Hello, we are getting a 2010 ml 350 in a day or 2 depending on when the money becomes available at our bank. I am a volvo guy, but the m class both the GLK and Ml appealed to me. They are both uber complicated and I try to do all my own repairs. Looking forward to learning a lot. Is there any where that I can read and understand the different model names, I see some w's and the Mls and numbers kind oc confusing.
Thanks for having me !

2021 GLS450, Lunar Blue Metallic
Hello all,

My name is Glenn and I just join this forum. My current Mercedes is a 2010 ML350 4-Matic which I bought new. It was a factory order with most of the available options at the time. I absolutely love it and is hands down the best vehicle I have ever owned.

About 2-weeks ago, I ordered a new 2021 GLS450. The dealer here in North Carolina is saying mid-November delivery..

Hi,

I'm Mike and the new owner of an R230 (2003). I've been using MB World as a resource for the last few weeks as I have been researching, buying, and getting my SL on the road. I am in the Omaha area and SL's are in fairly short supply around here. I was looking at a few cars in CA, AZ, and FL, but ending up buying one in KS that had a blown suspension line. I do 99% of my own mechanic work and look forward to a new challenge. Hopefully, I will also be able to contribute to the community here.

Mike
