No, I'm certain he's not a BMW guy. BMW guys are stuffy old dudes like their BMW forums...boring and unentertaining. Which is nothing like this W221 thread.

Nah, Though the 2002-2008 7-Series was somewhat appealing. Their design is too monotonous and bland.

I'm a Mercedes man, through and through!

I wonder why Mike didn't get a Beemer instead of his new C?

Drives550

Haha. Nicely done.

Judging by your "need" to change coils your misfire codes must have returned. Have you tried putting the #'s 5&6 coils on different cylinders to see if the misfire follows? If the code follows the coil you have your answer. Bad coils. If the code stays with 5&6 you can move on to wires and plugs.

Because the only one I liked was the 6 series and by the time I optioned it out I was in 222 territory, and if I was spending 222 money I'd rather have a 222, but I didn't want to spend 222 money in the first place, lather rinse repeat.

Then I got a 205 as a loaner and thought "who the f- am I trying to impress anyway? I don't need a $100,000 car. I like this little C Class a lot. I'm gonna get me one. That was that.

Had a 2004 7-series, those 02-08 7series are BMW classics indeed. Firm handling but doesn't have as much perks as the S class.

DaveW68

It doesn't surprise me that you found that design appealing....with the ugly Bangle butt and trucker front end. Ugliest 7 series of all time. A rear end crash probably would have helped it's looks.

While talking about the S Class and generally about the OP's acquisition why on earth are you talking about BMW is somewhat your talking about Bach but somehow discussion unfurls towards the Hip Hop thingy
Well,I know I have not put it very well though,kinda over exaggerating the things
In BMW 7 Series favor, I drove once years ago a facelift model , the car still holds the best riding one among the cars I have driven

I had 2 e65s 745 sport and 750 sport. Handled amazing for a such a big car.

I am actuaklly thinking along the same lines and leaning towards a newer E class with everything on it. before my warranty runs out. There are a few integrated features I really would like to have on a car.

The misfires never went away. But the CEL did. If i swap the coils it will still misfire, but not show me the cylinders affected.

mercedesbenzs55

What are you going to do with your fridge?

Mike5215

Hey! I just heard about this new thing on some cars where you can hook it up to some sort of "computer" and then the "computer" somehow "talks" to another "computer" that's right inside the car and the "computer" in the car "tells" the other "computer" what the **** is wrong with it.

Seems like science fiction I know but it's true. Man, if there was such a thing as that for Mercedes what a time saver, huh?

Can't hurt to dream I guess.

1bad540

LOL

Did the 7 series circa 2002 have air suspension or was it conventional coils? I didn't like the Bangle Butt originally, but the mid-cycle refresh with the redesigned tailights made it look less obvious.

mercedesbenzs55

Nah that stuff is for suckers. All those new age ways to fix cars, sounds like pipe dreams to me

RichM

Did you clear the codes you had prior to moving the coils? If you did, what codes do you have now? If you didn't clear them do so. Run the car and check for codes again.

mercedesbenzs55

I couldn't clear them because my $230 obd2 scanner won't clear the codes. It only sends the message to clear but does not accually clear. I'm gonna to try clearing any codes on my TL to see if I'm clearing them right.

Mike5215

So you still don't have the $150 for a scan huh? Maybe go to "work" for a couple of hours and sell more weed?

mercedesbenzs55

Like the "quality" employees you have working for you?

RichM

All the codes you posted especially the misfire codes should clear with your OBD tool.

1bad540

no air suspension on the e65. maybe the 760 had rear air. but 745 and 750 didn't. heres a pic of mine from yrs ago when they were cool!! LOl

Mike5215

Sadly no. As a precondition of employment with us applicants must not be retarded and also understand how "subtraction" works. But someone with your unique skill set could likely find gainful employment in either the fast food or hospitality industries, if you put your mind to it.

mercedesbenzs55

Haha! Ive not yet worked in either of those. But if by hospitality you ment surgical arena then yes.


Are you the one screening them? I bet you've got alot of geniuses working at your fly-by-night outfit.

Man this thread is getting nastier by the day .... maybe mods should lock it down to where only OP can post his updates only.
