I'm seriously thinking about buying the new face lifted Mercedes Benz E280 A Avantgarde Sport.
Do yoy guys have any comment on this?
Does anyone know if there's a net Forum (as good as ours) for the M-B E-series?

Would really like to try out a MB!

Not so fast guys...most of the w211 (new body E) forums are decent...not as active as good ol' e60.net but nonetheless there is a lot of good info there / Also have to remember that the E has been out a bit longer than the e60...most topics are tired already...and while there is a contingent of us that like to mod our MBZ's...most Benz drivers do not / Going from a BMW to a MBZ?? Be careful the driving experience is very different...not better, not worse...just different...and it all comes down to what you want from a car / There's another BMW in my future...but there's another Benz there as well.
ps-remember that E60.Net is concentrated just on the E60 which is unique, most Benz sites (and BMW sites for that matter)...are spread across the full range that a manufacturer has to offer?thus diluting the participant pool / You have the ?perfect storm? with E60.net?started by a mass exodus from roadfly (because we were tired of the BS there)?a car that owners are very enthusiastic about, a car that lends itself to mods (whether that is, body, engine or suspension)?and a demographic that, for the most part, is ?into their cars? and used to using the Internet to gather info / Point being you have a great site here?don?t expect it to be replicated elsewhere (except maybe with Porsche and Vette owners?AudiWorld isn?t too bad either)
