2021 GLS 450. Have a Holden Commodore, Jeep, truck, and more
New member here from Texas. I am looking to purchase a GLS 450 at the moment. Originally my wife found and X166 she loved, but it was a smokers car and realizing the 2nd row was a bench that would prevent access to the 3rd row with car seats installed has made us realize we need to focus on the X167. We were close to a deal on one, but couldn't quite get comfortable with the details so we passed. I have been doing lots of research here since there is a wealth of information and decided I should just join up since it's inevitable that I will be making a purchase.

Audi Allroad
New member here. Looking to purchase either a W212 E63 or W204 C63 as fun second vehicle. Currently own a Audi Allroad that is heavily customized but want to try something from another one of the great German manufacturers. So here to research before purchasing.

Greetings all from New Zealand. Figured I'd stop by this forum and get some pointers as me and my mrs are new benz owners. I have an 2013 CLA 45 and she has an 2013 C250 Couple. Thanks for having me! now where does one go for W205, C250 performance questions?

Hi and welcome to MBWorld! Thanks for the intro and sharing the photos. Your fleet looks great. Try the W205 forum for your question, or do you mean W204? All the best.

Yes, a W204! Try here… https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w204-83/
Although you have the coupe, the sedan forum is highly active by comparison, and likely to have more members able to help you. Good luck

CLK 320 Auto C/W208
Hello All,
I'm Al from Wales.
Having recently bought a C/W208 CLK 320 (yes it's around 23 years old, and not in the best condition), I have been reading many threads on this and other forums, and thought it fitting to formally register my presence. I am hoping to bring some life into the CLK and can see that MBWorld has a lot to offer.
Thanks, Al

Many thanks MBpippo. Here is my CLK as was advertised by the seller. I will post current photos once the rain stops; could be hours, or possibly weeks.

Both photos are of the car as advertised...

...You can see it needs a good lot of tidying.

Thanks. I have had it a couple of months now, and have pretty much got the interior as clean as I could possibly get it: it was really bad. I hope to post more recent pictures possibly later today.

Many thanks @MBpippo .
Work in progress: so far, levels of ATF and engine oil corrected - they were over filled, rear tyres replaced, and front calipers replaced. Next will be the front tyres and a full refurbishment of the alloys (as and when finances dictate).
Come the summer, I intend to complete as full a service as I can (ATF and filter, oil and filter, brake fluid, ps fluid, and so on) - I see there are lots of information on mbworld for me to refer to, helping me on my way .

C300d
My First Ever Mercedes

Hello Everyone.
I just signed up this forum so thought say quick Hello.

I just put deposit down on my first ever Mercedes, Throughout my life always had BMW's and lots of them.
Not sure if this was the right decision but well too late picking the beauty up this weekend.
It's a C300d AMG Line, Premium Plus Night edition.

It's a mouthful.
I understand Premium plus is the one with all the bells & Whistle and Night Edition is the blacked out bits, AMG line I have been told is when the car has same AMG trimming please correct if I am wrong.
Looking forward of all your support.
First thing I want to do is change the grill to blacked out one , I think its called Panamericana Grill.
Any other recommendations..
Here is the pic from the advert.
