So firstly, hi guys I'm new here!

My name is Josh and I'm from Staffordshire, United Kingdom.

Always been a huge fan of Mercs although never actually owning one! However last weekend I got the chance to drive a new E46 S AMG. My God, that car is an incredible thing, my one hour of driving wasn't enough! I WANT MORE!

So, unfortunately I don't have near enough £90k to go out and buy one. I've seen a few of the 5.5L BiTurbos for sale, my main question really is can I get a 4Matic one in the UK? I've seen that they have them in the States but I can't find much information about the UK.

Looking primarily at the 2014/15 models as they fit my price range.

Also, is there anything to look out for in them?

I've done a lot of research into servicing costs, part costs, insurance, tax and about every other thing under the sun, I'd just like to hear from actual owners or people who have had experience.

I hope this is in the right place.

Thanks guys!

4Matic is left hand drive only in the 212. As long as that's an option in your market, you can source one. Good luck on the hunt!

Why not look at getting a LHD version from the Continent, before March 28th of course?
