New to Mercedes

Hi all,
I recently bought my first Mercedes. I’ve been a BMW person for the passed few cars, and I still have a 440i Gran Coupe. But thought I would give a Mercedes a go!

2021 E53 AMG Premium Plus Night Edition.

I have had a lot of cars....lot lot of cars. I used to be dedicated BMW (last real one was an E46 M3 convertible with SMG). Well, I got a bit older, a bit wiser and now it is pretty much a Benz house. A pair of E63's, an E350, C300 and a GLS580. While I am not the biggest fan of the 53 platform, it is one heck of a car.

Thanks, I think if they did an E63 Cab we would have been looking for one, but this is pretty much the best you can get here for a cabriolet.
My first BMW was an F01 7 series, but from there I’ve had a couple of 4 series. My dream car is a Porsche, but I think I’m a Merc convert over BMW haha.
