  • As a member of the Mercedes dealer

    On Friday I had a rather funny experience at a Mercedes branch in Stgt. Since I was in Stgt anyway, I wanted to look at some extras in the car dealership, which I ordered even though I still have one or the other question about it. In the conversation with the saleswoman I then slipped out that I am a company member and actually only have a few questions. The reaction to this was as if I had demanded a sexual performance from her. I was then quickly swarmed away. Obviously you will only be treated courteously if an order could be placed directly in the car dealership in question. Actually a weak picture, especially since it is still very short-sighted, because as a company member you need of course also a branch in which you can make inspections and buy accessories. In my case this will probably not be the establishment Stgt. Would I be interested whether some of you have done similar things, or whether the al again was one of the much quoted unfortunate exceptional situations. Greeting Jörg

  • Electronic locking SLK350

    Hi @all. I hope I’m right here and you don’t find it brazen that I’m just going to open up a new topic here. I’m only 17 years old but I’m very technical and interested. My opi has now a new SLK 350. Well noticed one of the first. To our delight. The Mercedes type naturally immediately alerted us to the electronic lockdown. And I would like to know how or better if you can bypass this part or even expand it. already helped with a Haiabus (I think that’s how you write the) to expand the electrical locking and now the part is running over 300kmh. I hope one of you can help me. Of course I only need the instruction for racing trails on a private site. Grins. What the otherwise. Mfg Vhmpartyzone

  • Engine spray protection for the B-Max (Ecoboost)

    Hello, only in case one of you is interested. So dear friends of the B-Max. I was at the FFH today and for my B-Max EcoBoost (125hp) I had the moorroom spray protection installed below and the engine cover installed above, because these are not provided from the factory. I find the spray protection useful to keep the engine clean, and also serve both parts of the noise insulation. So who is interested in it, find here the necessary part numbers… because the FFH find below The spray protection below has the part number 1794581 spray protection (50,18€ + VAT) and the required mounting parts the numbers 1382031 screw with disc (1,17€ + VAT) and number 1019377 duebel nut (0,66€ + VAT). Unfortunately I can’t take better photos because I lack a stage. But this spray protection has a silver heat protection coating on the top. And also there is the engine protection cover above also suitable for the B-Max. Di Parts numbers are 1806222 damping element (35.87€ + VAT) and the two mounting bolts 1683973 special bolts (3.18€ + VAT) and 1780192 special bolts (2.71€ + VAT)

  • The current GT 6 and the lack of chips

    Moinsen, liebe 6er gt Gemeinde, My attempts to get a 640i gt with the following equipment have so far been frustrating, both in the new and used car sector: M-Model X-Drive Pano Executive-Drive IAL Driving-Assi-plus Parking-Assi-plus Comfort seats Heating Adaptive LED headlights Executive Drive and 2-axle air suspension are no longer available. According to the friendly because of „Chip shortage. For this there is now the BMW laser light, which I own I don’t want to have, the adaptive LED is much better for me. My desired equipment is currently not available in the new car area for money (more than 100 k BRLP) and good words. And in the used car area there is currently also no suitable offer, with all current offers at Mobile and BMW used car exchange. This is probably because in the used car area mostly service car leasing-returners are offered. And there is a missing one or another feature, because it is with D Ienstwagen usually gives a limit, of say we times (really fictitiously considered) 100 k BRLP. Well, you also have to make as CFO cuts on one or other equipment feature. But at least, 100 k are already a house number. I would also invest more than 100 k in a new car if I got my desired equipment. But I don’t get it, because of chip shortage, which we are again at the topic. When does this lack finally stop ? Greeting ZR

  • Old W463 centre console

    Hello together, someone may have an old/defect wood cover for the center console. Can also be broken etc.. I’m just trying to make a cover from 2mm sheet metal stable. However, need the clips on the bottom of the cover to create a 3D drawing from it and try to print it. If it works, I’d like to inform you. These covers are extremely expensive and quickly broken. Metal would make them much more stable and would later also be good „belede apply a beautiful wooden foil with water transfer pressure. lg Dani

  • Consideration of a purchase – Request for experience/input to G-classes older than 1995

    Good day dear forum members, there is currently the possibility to use free funds for the purchase of a vintage car. The focus is definitely on a G-Class with year of construction before 1995. On the net I find some trusted ads, in the range between 18,000 to 25,000€, here is also the budget for the purchase. But before I commit myself to the topic, the personal experience has shown to listen to the experience of other experienced people and to listen to them. For example: – minimum condition of the vehicle at price between 20,000 and 25,000€ (e.g. no rust, check booklet, TÜV/HU new, H approval) – defects that may not be present at the price range – experience on the ageing process of the vehicle: can the vehicle be seen as “carefree” as a long-term investment, or are the vehicles before 1995 in the next 10-20 years. Is the vehicle only suitable for very experienced self-screws or are the G-Classes also suitable for “beginners” before 1995, e.g. thanks to the lower electronics? I am of course also very grateful beyond experience values beyond the above-mentioned key points! Those who take the time and respond to this, already a big thank you in advance! 🙂 Best regards and a good day, SB

  • Set the frontal protection bracket.

    Hello G municipality, can someone from own experience tell me if you are currently still registered with the original frontal protection bar or if the TÜV refuses this. (W463 Year 1997)

  • Which G-Class is this? (rare model)

    Dear community, I was at the bakery this morning and I became aware of a beautiful G-Class of an older man, with whom I also talked. I wanted to get more information about the vehicle now, but find absolutely nothing about the vehicle. It must be a w460/461 or one of the early w463. It was definitely the old design language of the 90s. To the vehicle: – on the vehicle stood at the rear G400D – the vehicle had the chrome front guard, which meanwhile – it was a two-doorer. – on the roof was a spoiler – it had the striking double sidepipes I hope you can help me, since I found only a G400 CDI, but it doesn’t look like the one I saw. Edit: Apparently it has to be a 400CDI… Does anyone know if it is a special model or something?
