How are you liking it? That is quite a change!

I changed my '06 Z4M Coupe to an '08 M3 Coupe and I do miss the little spitfire but am overall happy with the M3.

Mercedes?!?!?!!? A Mercedes for a BMW?!?!?!?! Excuse me... buddy but what kind of paint were u sniffing when u thought of that?!?!?!

Mikewarlover · 04-29-2009, 02:14 PM

the new gen ml or the older one? hopefully its the new one cause at least it looks good.

I recently sold my M as well for more practicality and four wheel drive but i went for a sti instead of a SUV still a smoking sports car

NO, I just had no room, and with 2 kids going to Baseball games and Softball games, all the Gear etc. It was just not practical and I had to make that switch ( for now ) if money comes in later I may buy an additionla Vehicle.

Well I honetsly have to tell you, the ML 500 is a VERY fast SUV ! Im impressed, I did not expected that power and speed. All whell drive on top of it etc. 0-60 in 7.7 sec...tht is fast for a 4000 pound vehicle.
It is also very luxery inside, with Nav and all other goodes.

Burt Reynolds · 04-30-2009, 09:39 PM

Cherokee SRT8 is a fast SUV...faster than M3 to 60. The MB is not that fast but good luck and enjoy.

Yeah, but a Jeep is a jepp
and a Mercedes is a Mercedes

Burt Reynolds · 05-01-2009, 06:35 AM

Fair enough.

i love my mercedes c300. for practicality and reliability its great. MB has really stepped up with the models over the last couple years. dont listen to that guy yapping about trading in a bimmer for a benz. i would probably do it too.

and congrats on the car!

Burt Reynolds · 05-01-2009, 09:45 AM

Was wondering- Don't Jeeps have tons of parts from the Diamler parts ben? I know the relationship has been severed but this SRT8 was designed built under Diamler ownership. Just curious...

bkz4mc · 05-01-2009, 10:28 AM

I will say this... I had ALOT better customer service with MB. Free loaner cars when you got service, no attitude, no problems ever. I don't think I can say the same for BMW...

When my DME was on the fritz and I had to drop off my car at Irvine BMW, they asked me if I needed a ride back to work. Ummmm... how about a loaner car ?

If I were to get another sedan, it wouldn't be a Beemer which is sad to say, because I think the cars are great, it's because of the service / attitude.

ironically, the mb service was not great by me in NY, and the bmw has been very good. Loaners were given to me even without an appointment, in a last minute visit. my MB dealer, on the other hand, accused me of breaking things on purpose because ive had repeat issues with the car.

THAT sux... I think it's a Newport Beach / Irvine thing to be honest. I went to Fletcher Jones MB once in Newport and they were super douchie. Then I went south to Laguna Nigel MB and they were super cool.

mpower03 · 05-01-2009, 02:59 PM

ya my family used to mb fans, terrible serivce where we were. then when i bot my bmw, my sis got one and we have good service

Z4MCJJ · 05-01-2009, 03:21 PM

I have two MBs...wifey like them....

Service seems good, but routine maintenance is $$$ vs. the BMWs we own.
