I will only go C&C when there is a major issue or when my 6th sense tells me that the workshop is not experience enough to handle.

Just ordered my sports chrome grill from ebay today.
I'm searching for Bi-Xenon HID and planning to order the Mercedes Keyless Ultrasonic Alarm upgrade kit.

My next in the list upgrades will be: 17" AMG Sports Rim, Projector Ion Head Lamp. Any comments?

WOW ~ can gip me the link ? too bad if i got my car ..... i cannot mod coz under warranty

link to? for the sports chrome grill, u can find a lot in ebay. just type "Sports Grill"
Without the " " of course.

For exterior, it should be alright to change.

I do luv those new Mercedes models ...BUT the older models is much more reliable than the new ones because new ones got new technology and more parts. Those new electronic gadgets isn't much reliable...


.

Conti cars still are the best to drive. I never had any ECU problem before with conti Merc. Just that it's getting more and more expensive to maintain as parts are lacking.

Newer Mercs qualities sores... that's why i still stick to my trusty model

ok ~ I type the sill panel out

yap ~ no worry ~ got warranty

bmw more fun to drive, merc more comfort

yep ~ BMW look cool ~ Merc look old ~ that y I choose merc

Of course BWM looks better, but Mercs have cheaper parts and less maintainance

Hahaha... that what she says to me.

Dear Sera, Sera... What will be, will be...

To me, it doesn't matter if it will make me look old. I love my car, and that's the only thing that matter. As long as I can smoke most of the cars on highway, it shouldn't be a problem, beesides the road tax, high fc and of course speeding tickets

Nothing beats the comforts of a Merc, not even BMW can match.

not really, both also suck ur blood out when u go to there

dun have that car yet.

no lah ~ I choose C class from 3 series

- larger space
- more comfort
- lower CC
- Greater power
- Newer model (3 series already 2 years model)
- more advance stufff compare 3 series.
-

i alread look like 30+++

asmly14, youre driving W126 right? 300SE? what year?.. 180 or so hp right?. awesome.
yeah 3 series is loosing pretty bad.
the c200k is a 1.8L engine supercharged, which produces 184PS, dats more than 100hp per litre! roadtax money well paid because of supercharger, but bmw will always produce loads of hp per litre only by naturally aspirated

Maintainance is very high (easily 10k/year), but once the parts are changed, it is rather durable. Parts are still easily available even thou it cost 3-5x the Proton price, but for the quality you will get, it's worth it. Never break down before in my life, the only time when it stopped is when the tyre went flat.

Awards
The W126 S-Class was a champion in the luxury car market, dominating worldwide sales during its production run. At the same time, it also achieved several awards during its production period:

Car of the Year. The W126 model 380 SE was the Wheels Magazine Car of the Year in 1981.
Safety. The W126 was awarded by the U.S. Highway Loss Data Institute as the "The Safest Passenger Car of the Year" in 1988 and 1989.[1]
Customer satisfaction. In 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1990, with the W126 S-Class leading its sales, Mercedes-Benz received the highest customer ratings in the J.D. Power Sales Satisfaction Index.[5]

[edit] Legacy
The W126 S-Class, the most successful production S-Class in history, has secured a place as one of the most well-remembered luxury vehicles--described by some as a "classic."[2] Its twelve-year production run was longer than any S-Class before or since, and following the debut of the W140 S-Class in 1991, the additional two years of production in South Africa was a testament to the W126's popularity in the export market. Although an expensive car to maintain, mostly due to the increased expense of Mercedes-Benz replacement parts, a late model W126, if properly driven, can still be a viable proposition today.[6]

Indeed. I have to agree with that article. With proper maintainance, it will last more than 20 over years. When you cruise at very high speed, even at 200+, you will feel it's very stable.

that is not just article ~ it from wikipedia ~

only thing is 3litter car isi petrol I also die

Heh... It's drinking not only water, but as if it's a coke! Heavy town crusing will take me to petrol station every 3 days (Max, and that's for light-mid footed driving style) for a full tank refill of RM 180. I would suggest to only drive it when you are going on highway, other than that, stick to C/E Class.

The one generation newer S class even has bullet proof glass. When I saw the window, i was like...

yeah, that y I choose below 2.0 car. no money to paid petrol
