I need literature!

The Mercedes-Benz is such an amazing car I'm surprized there aren't more Tuning/Performance Magazines out there devoted to The Machine. BMW has BIMMER magazine and numerous other periodicals. Volkswagon has VW Trends, and European Car hardly ever does anything on Mercedes. Is there a tuning Magazine just for Mercedes, I mean Benzies that people actually drive not $150,000 Car showcases. I am just not looking in the right places or am I doomed to only imagine what Mercedes-Benz owners are doing to thier cars around the world?

There's not much out there.
European Mag has done an article on Mach430's car.
Most of the info is produced by the Tuners.
Modified Mercedes Benz are few and far between.
When you read this forum you would think that everybody does a little mod.
But we are in the minority.
Best of luck in your search.

If you join the Mercedes Benz Club, you'd get the STAR magazines.

Mercedes Enthusiast. It's a UK magazine, so if you find one it will cost about $8. You could probably stumble across one at Barnes and Noble or Tower Records (if they sell magazines).
