E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...
If you have the patience,...

the best/most entertaining mags for Benz are the Japanese mags "Just Mercedes" and their affiliates. You won't find them in a conventional bookstore, and yes, most of it is in Japanese. But they are beautifully put together with nice glossy pictures and tons of ads for things you can't mostly get. You'll only find them in stores that cater to the Japanese community in larger cities, and they're really expensive (anywhere from $9-17 per issue depending on the exchange rate.) But always provides lots of reading and looking fun for a week or two (that's about how long it takes to get through the 300 or so pages).

Mercedes Enthusiast is a great magazine available at most magazine stands. Also, join the Mercedes Benz Club of America and you will receive Star Magazine 4 times a year which is also great reading!

Last I checked, the subscription link was dead. It appeared it hadn't been active in a while.

Anyone familiar with this Mercedes-only mag?: http://www.benzmag.com/

Unhappy Benzo was great!

I have no idea what happened to that magazine. I have about four copies before they just vanished without an explanation. That was the type of Benz magazine I believe we may all have benefited from.

There's the magazine that MB sends to it's owners every few months..."Mercedes Momentum". Good stuff IMO...cool tidbits of info about MB and the technology they're engineering/engineered.

Latest issue had AMG as the feature article - when you're dying of thirst, even superficial coverage is welcome.
