I’m currently looking for a new car.I’ve enjoyed the S-Class of the 80s for a long time and I thought that I’d look at it a little bit more closely.So it’s supposed to be a W126 SE or SEL.The engine should be a little smaller, just because of the fuel costs.Which weaker is the one to recommend, the 260, 280 or 300?In addition, the color should be rather dark, i.e. black or black blue or similar. Is it necessary to lie down?

W140 cables in rear door panel
In the rear door panels it has these ashtrays on the left + right side. I removed the ashtrays once (they have just folded) and found the wiring for the speakers and the window lifter there. But: I found out that there is a loose cable plug in the left and right door panels, which probably belong to nowhere. It just hangs so… as if it were just prepared for some connection.

Day-time running light
Hello friends, again for a change not a philosophical but a practical question. Has any of you ever thought about the possibilities of a daytime running light? ..or even one built in? Some fuses give 10% discount for this, because of the accident risk reduction. I wanted to install this in the front apron, but I have not found anything suitable yet. Does one of you know if there is any light from MB for the two “holes” in the pre-mopper apron W220 what you might like. I installed this from IN.PRO in my wife’s W168 and that fits perfectly, but for the W220 it looks very different, because the contour is very different.

Originality obligation??
Hello! How do you feel about the originality of older Mercedes models?? My son (18 years old) would like to make his sweetheart a little bit more beautiful with the corresponding parts (BBS RS 1, AMG etc.)… What do you think …are the more than 20 years old car Fuchs rims in 14″ duty?? Greetings…

300 SE W126 louder?
Hello! I know the topic “How do I make it louder?” has already been chewed through x times, but nevertheless: Tomorrow I get a 300 SE W126 (Bj. 88) with manual gearbox sponsored by my daddy. However, during the test drive I noticed that the engine is so quiet that the usual switching after engine sound is difficult. We already had different older carts with 280 engine, at the moment we also have a 280SL R107 Bj.82, which is a bit louder, or as loud as I would like to have the 300er. (what does it mean here loudly? In traffic it doesn’t even catch up! Does the discreet Mercedes say something about the 300er is only too quiet for me). So my questions: 1. How do I bring the 300er sound technically to the level of the old 280er? 2. How did you get the engine so quiet? Can someone tell me something about the technology used here?

C126 -> I’M SHOCKED!!! WHO SOWAS MAKES SOUTH …
Hello Mercedes friends, I’ve just stumbled on mobile and co. again after my dream car. There I found this pitiful 420 SEC. Who a noble car, or rather a model of the German car industry so disfigured and abused belongs to immediately killed! I will not understand such a wallalism (otherwise you can’t describe it) with the best will! How do you think about it? Here’s a picture of the horror and the matching link: DISCOVERED So where I’m about to be, even more horrifying: I recently at the MTV broadcast “PIMP MY RIDE” an old w126 300D. Since that day, I’ve hated these types of GAS from the USA! They have painted the beautiful old S-Class really pink, the car with everything overcharged and even robbed it of its honor. Dei have reduced the Mercedes star and have made the initials of the owner from Plexiglas. afterwards they have not given it a cool place with diamonds, I would have loved it!

The new S class
Hello,s0 she looks like:http://auto.t-online.de/c/12/35/20/96/12352096.html I think Mercedes is counting on progress at the expense of a noble design. Can’t combine both? So I don’t like this new S class anymore. Just as little as the CL now – just boring. Where is the joy of a beautiful car?How do you like the new S class (study)?MFGPluto

Beginners with Mercedes W140 ?
Becoming 18 years old next and looking for a vehicle. Have been busy with it for a long time and have always stuck to the S-Class W140 because it appeals to me very much in terms of price and appearance. What bothers me about the vehicle is the enormous maintenance costs, i.e. petrol, taxes, workshop costs etc.? But you also have to say, I don’t think at the moment you get so much car for so little money How does it look with the insurance of the vehicle there are special tariffs etc.?
