New to the forum. Recently bought a 2023 EQS SUV 450 4matic. I'm in the SoCal area. Officially my 2nd MB. I owned a 1999 E300 TurboDiesel for a year. Gift from family member that was meticulously taken care of, but I it still needed $5K in upkeep int he year I owned it. We'll see how the EQS treats me.
Hey guys, name is Cal, checking in from Dallas TX, Bought a 2017 S550 almost 2 years ago. Been checking the threads here and there but finally decided to join. Love the car! My first Benz and when I got it, was already wrapped, had downpipes, lowered with 22's and think its been coded or tuned as it maxed out at 160 (allegedly). I have done the s63 facelift just because the front bumper needed to be re-wrapped and definitely more aggressive looking. I got rid of the Vossen 22's and went with some Asanti 20's. I like the current look much better. Anyway look forward to interacting with you all soon. when I first got her! May 2024 Jan 2026

Hi Cal and welcome to the club! Thanks for the intro and the pics. Looks great 👍
My name is Daniel. I recently bought my dream car about a week ago… 2013 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG from Dallas, TX and drove it all the way to Vermont before getting stuck in the snow from 2 am until 11 am. Then had to get it towed home from NY to Boston, MA which took another 3 hours. All in all, glad to make home with my baby safe and sound, in one piece.
Unfortunately, it came with an oil leak (seems to be splattering all over) & no catalyst converter which is needed to pass state inspection of course. Any recommendations on finding one?
Also, my mechanic says I need to replace the harmonic balancer - crankshaft pulleys. In addition, to the, valve cover and gasket, and cam position sensor. On top of that, it has no traction, I do need to replace the tires which I’m about to do, but I’m sliding all over the place as if it doesn’t have any grip.
Lastly, it didn’t come with an owners manual or a spare tire. I’ve been hearing mix reviews about that, but is it true that it already doesn’t come with a spare tire?
Please help any possibilities, positive suggestions, tips and advice is more than appreciated!

Welcome to the club Daniel. Sorry, can’t help with any of your issues. All the best with it 😁
Bought my 2000 ML320 in 2009 with 100k miles on it and put on another 123k since then with a significant amount of advice and tips from this site. Sadly I am ready to part with it after having serviced and maintained it liked I planned to keep it forever (which i did). I am hoping to find someone to buy it that appreciates the car and the Mercedes brand. Never sold or bought anything here but am going to give it a shot. If anyone has advice I am all ears. ML320 I owned since 2009

Hi, I'm new but having said that I must admit that I have had cointact with MBWorld some years ago.
I did find MBWorld very helpful at that time and I'm sure it will be helpfull now as well.
For many years I managed to fix my cars with no problems but now all the tech. is getting more and more cofusing and I'm from the days of crank and buttons so the computer is like a black magic for me and this is the area I will definitely be looking for help on this site.
Currently I'm residing in Poland
Today my chariot that I'm driving is GLC 220d X253 2017 I love it but not as much as my previous cars like the last two ML270 2002.
Unfortunately they were eaten by rust like many merc's from the past era.
Take care Softail1947

Hello, I'm B from the Western NC area & I drive a C219 CLS63. Just bought it back in December and these forums have been lifesavers lol. I've loved it since I first laid eyes on it and have been working on it since I bought it.
Hi
I’m new to MBworld, and to Mercedes ownership. I have owned and restored/maintained several BMW’s but decided to step into a new world by buying a SL350. Like many of these cars mine has the standard water feature in the boot and had fallen into the wrong part of “the trade”. This means it has been neglected, had the wrong consumer battery and a misfire. On the plus side it is only 64000 miles with service history and an motc, it was also cheap as the roof has an “intermittent” fault. How intermittent I do not know as it was delivered to my home on a trailer, parked on the drive and put out of service until I could check for damage to the BCM.
I have now got the BCM out and had a look and there seems to be a small amount of damage which should be fixable so here I am looking for a reliable repairer.
Once that’s sorted I can get stuck into all the other niggles and get to drive it properly.

Hi @Bagins and welcome to the club. Be sure to post a photo of your SL when you get a chance 👍
New to the Mercedes world! My last four “fun” cars have been an M3, C7 Vette, M4, then a C8 Vette. Wanted a fun car that I could enjoy a little bit longer in the year when it gets cold out. Living in WI really limited the C8’s time on the road, so traded it in yesterday for an AMG CLE 53! Looking forward to having some fun with it!

nice! Of your 4 previous rides, which did you like the most and why?

Oh that’s a tough one. Probably the C8. Kept it the longest of them. All around rocket ship and my combo was a head turner. Not the best road trip car for two golfers but when on my own, it was a ton of fun. Just a lot of money to spend to just look at it most of the year in the garage. Four years and 12k miles. I like to drive my cars so that was frustrating.
