I'm not getting what's your asking, DM2k?



These pics are different, unique, and beautiful. I see that you're kind of favor the night shots. You've done a good job taking them.

DonMario2k

you said you're comparing the nav-tv opi-m and the original mb part, what are the prices for each? the ipod kit wasn't installed on mine

i wish

wait a minute.... i think it is installed. i gotta check tonight. i'll let you know!

thanks for likeing

MB / Ipod integration kit: parts = $375 plus labor = $175 - $375 (from 3 dealers that I called in my area).
- Limited features
- Only volume and songs scrolling (next or previous) through steering controls.
- Only song names display on tiny instrument cluster, viewable only by the driver.

NAV-TV / MOST OPi-M: parts + labor = $700 - $800 (fully installed from authorized installers).
- Much better features through Nav Command Screen.
- Song lists, genres, artists, singers can be control and display via Command

DonMario2k

to be honest with you, to me it wouldnt be worth the money.

all the songs i have on my ipod are burnt on mp3 cds as well, so i really wouldnt spend the money.

but the NAV-TV sounds like it has a heck load of more features.

DonMario2k

comparing your two cars i don't see much of a difference between the 22" and the 20" wheels. i was planning on getting 22"...

how does it ride with the 22"? is it that big of a difference?

Here is mine 2006 CDI



And here are the 11x23" Löder 1899 rims with Continental 315/25 - 23 who's going on in the spring

nav-tv /most OPi-M???what is this? and what does it do???

RDriver

sdteb - It's an alternate choice for Ipod integration kit versus the MB ipod kit. The Opi-m displays song names, artists genres, albums through your COMAND screen and instrument cluster. The MB ipod kit only allows controls from steering wheel buttons and displays only on instrument cluster.

my new wheels - 275/45 20" mandrus millenium in black w/ mirror lip

i think it goes so well w/ the tint and the chrome-trim

MBNorway

Just got the car lowered about 5 cm this week (airmatic). The car looks imo much better now, low and fat
Was warned not to lower it more because it affects the comfort to much.
REALLY looks forward to get the 23's on now!

MBNorway

......and now the 23's are on




Super pleased with the result!

Benz-O-Rama

Looks great! But how's the ride now? Be honest, it's gotta be much harsher now, right?

XRX

nicely done, I really like the rear ride height, you may have to drop the front a bit more. More pics please!!

MBNorway

Because of the uneaven ground the cars is standing on, I would say that the correct height is about the middle of front and rear on this picture. A mecanic told me not to lower it more (like the rear on the picture) because it gets to harshe.
About how it rides now....it's not as original but not bad at all.Of course with 315/25 it kinda "follow the tracks", but again, not bad. No pain no gain

More pictures will follow

MBNorway

Here's more

XRX

The ride height looks better with those pics, look very nice. Any more mods going on your R?

MBNorway

It's going in for a reprogramming of the ECU. 270 hp / 620 NM Torque
After that we will see.....

Thats one thing I like about CDI engine you can get a lot of power easily. Too bad we don't get them here in California.

DonMario2k

as far as i know my 320 diesel was pre-owned by a guy in california. when i told the dealer i want the diesel (they didnt have the R63 - which i wanted to get in the first place) he told me he has something in california, and he'll let me know when he has the info. so we kinda "ordered" the car from CA.

@ mbnorway: car looks sharp! once i got my R back in europe, i'll let them take care of my ECU as well.

XRX

DonMario, have you lower your R? what did you use to lower it? Or thats a PS pic?

XRX

Wheels are on today, more to come

DonMario2k

@ XRX: no, that's unfortunately just a PS picture. i'll most likely lower it this summer.

probably with the modules

shot some new pictures last night. i'll upload them when i get to it.

the brabus' look very very good on the black R

DonMario2k

two new pics:

MBNorway

XRX: Really like those wheels, Brabus Monoblock?

Don: It's so nice with the white R, in my opinion the R GOT to be black or white..... What about white wheels....?

DonMario2k

thought about white wheels, but i don't know... don't really like white wheels on white cars.
what i thought about was maybe paint the lip on the black rims white. like the part that is now silver/mirror in white.

i have a second set of mandrus millenium in silver that i'll slap on next wednesday.
