mbworld.org is far from dead and is very active. I'm not sure where you went to ??

Here's the direct link to the E-class (W211) section:

You know I like my Benz a very nice classy sporty car...AMG Kit and some Modulare wheels are going on it in a week or so...so, after the surgery, it'll probably hold my interest for another year or so

ps-but my old 545 with the M-Kit that I see daily (because I sold it to my neighbor)still takes my breath away

I agree... my mom has a C Class Sport and its very nice. Theres a lot of attnetion to detail in my opinion. A lot of high gloss trims for the B-Pillers, Grill and Roof rack. The window edges are made better, door seals have more sealing area... Interior is very nice! You can roll down and UP all the windows using the key. and you can hold down the re-circ button to roll up and close the sun roof all at once... Can set all the settings including DRLs on the instrument cluster panel... A lot more stuff than what BMW has. And this is only a C class. Too bad it drives too mushy...

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?
My dad just bought a E280. I would have to say that as much as I hate MBs, I found this car to be a great drive. With 3000 cc, 231 hp, 7G-Tronic gear box, it can get to 100 in 7.3 seconds, which is decent enough. The car is very relaxing and luxurious. It is also a very good handler. It comes very close to my E60 in terms of dynamics, only at extreme cornering you start to feel that the E60 is a little bit better.

So basically, I think it is a very good car .
