Hi everyone,
I'm Frank and I'm new to the forum. Long story short, I've been involved with cars since childhood. I'm currently a professional tech. I've worked at the dealer level, indy level, and owned my own shop at one point. Sometimes I love my job and other times I hate it. Haha!
In all seriousness though, I consult other techs / shops part-time and run a European specialty shop full-time. Benz and BMW are my two favorite makes and that's speaking from various standpoints and views. I've owned models from the Big 3 and by far I'm completely in love with my MB S55K. It tops any BMW I've experienced. My only complaint is the E66 7-series had the option of powered rear door sunshades for both panes of glass.. Why can't mine be as baller?!? HAHA. The Merc makes up for that in many other ways.
That's pretty much it. It's getting late and I have English piles of junk to work on tomorrow so cheers.

Welcome to MBWorld, Frank! It's definitely a love/hate type relationship. I've been at all of those points (minus owning one myself) and it has its ups and downs. Enjoy your time here.

I've been a lurker here and there but since I now own a Mercedes it's only proper that I join.

Welcome to MBWorld Frank. Trust me... as someone who had a E66, you're better off with the S55. I had a whole host of electrical issues.

After a long drive to my pops house. But, here she is..
First time in one of my bays. Didn't take long before I started draining and refilling everything.
