I fuckin hate idrive. My dad got a BMW 335i coupe about 6 months ago and the idrive is pretty complicated to work. You get the hang of it eventually, but it takes a while.

coupe?

on of my best friends has a 330i coupe also... i really love the fact that youdont have to reach for the seat belt, IT FUCKING COMES TO YOU!!!!! hahaha and yes, first with the i drive, you go like WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS... but after a few tries, it gets pretty fucking cool

Yeah the 335i coupe is the new 3 series coupe with the 3L twin turbo engine. Kinda like a less hardcore M3.

Yeah i got the hang of idrive eventually, but my dad doesn't even own a cell phone, so he struggles quite a bit.....

I love Mercs. I don't have one, but plan on buying one someday.

My Grandfather is 85 and has owned a bunch of mercs. He's currently cruising around in an 2006 model S600. I think he wants to downsize though...

S600 is pretty sweet.

85 YO thats the stereotypical age to own a merc hahaha

lol, isn't it though. His is the fastest car in the golf clubhouse carpark...

It's a nice car. Nice to cruise in, yet capable of putting many smaller sports cars to shame.

hahaha yeah... the s series are HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT and nice cars... i learned to drive on a 300 sd... loved it, bullet proof windows, the hole shabang...

no problems ever with the 4MATIC.

my only problem with the W124 300TE is the front windshield wiper; it's a single device as opposed to the standard 2 wipers and the current Bosch blade($15.) isn't functioning correctly. it requires recalibration i believe.

Yeah the new M3 is awesome. Great V8. Only problem is they are a lot more exoensive than the old model. Here in Aus you would probably be looking at $160k+ to get one on the road.

Me personally, i'd perfer a Mercedes C63 AMG over a M3.

here if you buy them from the dealer they go for around 130k

the amg is cool too... but the thing is that if youknow your cars you can recognice an amg... only if you know about cars... on the other hand, you see and M and you know its an M

Good you've had no problems,

I like the one wiper system.

I've got the single blade wiper that runs against the cam. It extents at the sides of the windshield and retracts when it moves past the top middle. The spring broke, and I still need to order a new one.
