New Owner just saying hello!

Just saying hello and welcoming myself into this section. So, I finally took the plunge and purchased an 06 E55 wagon in pewter. Looking forward browsing this forum subgroup.

Also have a 16 miata, 95 E300 and an 87 560SEC

I missed mine a couple of months ago too. It rides like a jet compared to my W208 but not as fast!!

You will not miss the W124 once the power takes you into the next cloud..

Trust me, The AMG engine is as seductive as the Gangster W124 with hydraulic suspension was.

It is a shame these overrated crossovers that are hard to keep in lane park or drive next to are actually selling. What a waste of sheet metal and engineering.

The Wagon is space consciences sport and semi compact compared to these Frankenstein eggs that pretend to look like cars.

That Wagon will never let you down and produce Grins.

Enjoy Bro.

Nicely put! I think the only thing I can nitpick on the 211 is that the third row seat isn't as roomy as the 124 third row.

Otherwise I am enjoying it waaaay too much.... I got a speeding ticket within the first hour i had the car....

Mercedes Benz made a nice Ice cream commercial last year for the C class, It enforced safety speed and elegance without melting a drop.

Defensive driving courses lead one to drive in ticketless life. I autocross so my street driving remains safe, To each their own I suppose. If your doing something wrong in the right place with this car it will land you in jail fast.

0-100 in 6 seconds comes fast in town never do it in a residential neighborhood.

Oddly enough it was because I was reaching behind in my bag to get my radar detector... gave my legs a nice little stretch onto the pedal..
it was only 80 in 65, but still sucks
