Please allow me to introduce myself
Hello,
my name is Chris. After owning several BMW’s over the last 25 years, I have crossed over into Mercedes Benz land.
i bought a 2011 R230 SL550 with sports package and AMG package, in Palladium Silver Metallic over Black Nappa. Car has 92k miles and in great condition. It’s not perfect but I’m taking care of every little issue and trying to make it perfect, or as close to as I can.
ive come to this forum seeking the collective knowledge of its members so I can learn and better understand these cars.
