This is why people fear BMW Convertibles - 2012 BMW 325i Cabriolet (E93) hard top
Переглядів 4,6 тис.5 місяців тому

This car video by Abriatus, is definitely very interesting and relevant if you're watching from the United States, Canada, the UK, Germany, or Australia.

Mercedes Benz E63s AMG Estate (W212/S212) 2014 Review You've probably heard that the Mercedes E63 AMG Wagon is the perfect car. But how true is that?

This Secret Saved Audi (Ludwig Kraus)

If it weren't for one single man at the Ingolstadt factory, there's a good chance we wouldn't have Audi as we know it today.

Mercedes-Benz sold Audi to the Volkswagen Group in Germany without realizing the mess it would later create for its finances. Follow me...

Sometimes, we act rationally, and sometimes we make insane purchases. That's exactly what happened when I bought this 2002 Mercedes Benz S55 AMG, a car that is likely to make me go broke.

    Nice video. My neighbor has 3 W124 at this time, and I bet he will buy more as he finds them. The one we are working on now, his newest purchase, was bought as a parts car. During the last few days I have replaced a faulty alternator(Diodes), and cleaned electrical contacts of fuses and other electrical connections. Every day we have more and more working as it should. I see it as potentially being roadworthy again. So far this is a very nice car to work on.

    Fun fact on AMGs and Maybachs of that gen, the normal S classes might but AMG and Maybach for sure actually had push to start if you have keyless go. You put your foot on the brake and hold the botton on top of the shifter and it starts the car. This might've came with the refresh but worth a shot.

    I have an R52 Cooper S Sidewalk (520 left in the uk)! Loads of fun, still looks great even now but almost has a classic feel to it! It's the last of the 1st gen and last of the superchargers. I think the bonnet / hood release is on the right side as these cars are designed for right and drive and adapted for the left hand drive probably to pay homage to the UK roots of the mini. Either way these cars are great, fun factor 10/10.

    While you can't tell which exact model it is just by looking at the trunk because there is no badge on it, you can actually tell it isn't one of the two V6 options (petrol-diesel doesnt matter), because of the single exhaust. V6s have the dual exhaust. Nice video!

    As a driver of a CGI 200 C-Class, wagon, who was also shopping for a coupe, you nailed the plus’s of these cars. Another feature not mentioned is the excellent steering response. A Benz service manager told me that the 204s have the best driving feel of any of the 2000s C-Class models to date. My car has the optional pop up screen with back up camera, which eliminates the issues with the HAL 9000 LEDs on your car. Buy another? Yes, especially a diesel.

    Loved this! They did age well. I was actually considering one of these last year when I was car shopping, because I've never driven/had a convertible, and currently married with no kids it's a perfect moment to have a silly non-practical car. I was considering this or maybe an MX-5 NC with retractable hard top as well. But that one even with the roof up has a non existent space without "rear seats" or a boot that could be used for more than a grocery bag. This one on the other hand, I can imagine being surprisingly practical if you're clever enough 😁
