Smile New to the Merc family

Good day everybody,

i just join MBworld as i`m for the first time a Mercedes Owner. after more than 15 years with BMWs (Still have my old lady 1996 M3) i sold my E60 2010 5 series

i thought id give Mercedes a try. last weekend i found a good deal on 2012 C250 car so i went and test drove it and i fell in love.

brought it home with me, such a big difference between the two Giant German Schools of cars.

well, first off this is just a topic to break the ice. i`m very mechanically inclined and would love to see the potential of This W204.

so excited to start this new chapter.

Best Regards,
Karim

thank you so much MJ50,

im so excited about my new ride but id like to keep on the service and info. as i mentioned im mechanically inclined and will be doing the basic services myself.

for starter do we have a website or a hookup to get the OEM parts number ?? something similar to realoem.com for BMWs? to order parts.

and if its available as well the exploded parts diagram like how things are mounted and connected.

and whats your favorite OEM online store for my BMWs was FCPeuro.com i know they carry Mercedes as well.

Regards,
Karim

Welcome! Please post a photo of your Mercedes.

I have ordered from mercedesbenzstarparts.com. It has exploded diagrams and part numbers. I think it is run by a Mercedes dealer. I don't know if it is the best, or lowest price, but it works for me.
