I like Edmond, he is such a Gentleman.
at Benz you get some shitty salesman saying you get 2 free umbrellas....
and no discount for a so so driving car.
you get a better experience at Audi then MB.
was behind a BIG Zonda in the tunnel, sounded like a nuclear bomb
on Bose speakers......

Man, what can I say about MB...
- I sure don't like the handling of MB based on my limited experience with MB, whether S, E or C (can't say about the latest E and C, never tried, not interested anyways)
- I love the handling of BMW, all models, didn't include the 7 before until the launch of F02, I like it a lot (except for its price tag
) my mrs. also learnt to like the handling of BMW now (she used to like MB over BMW)- I love the comfort MB can offer to the passenger... I don't know abt the F02, but although 5GT offers big leg room, I am sure the E can beat 5GT on this issue...
- That said, I have to say my/my family's experience with a few of the staffs at MB's service department have always been a real pleasure (I was the only one in my family who prefers (and owns only) BMWs(me x 2) over MBs(family x 3), until my sis-in-law's recent change over)
- After my awful experience of being blamed to have messed with a cable that I never even knew existed, nor ricky san had ever touched; then just before my warranty was about to expire about 6 months back, they claim to have given me a whole check and claiming nothing is wrong and even have changed the parts that is close to break... but yet over these 6 months (not including the mods) I have to replace all my shocks, alternator...there are actually a few more things that AK fixed over the time... AK was actually surprised my car being under full warranty all these years could have all these things broken so soon after the warranty expired) Man, I knew and trusted this guy at BMW's service dept who have been serving me for over 10 years... imagine my disappointment... that's why I can't say the same with BMW's service dept when compared with MB... well, I have now decided to never join any warranty package with bmw from now on, this includes my E93...
Sorry for being so long winded, I just want to let out some steam, hope you guys don't mind

the only hard thing for the F02, L is getting into a car park, its a nightmare.
ask N for a F02 for a day or 2, enjoy it

talkng abt this issue, never ever go to Wing On Central 4th floor, unless you drive X5 or X6! take my advice, even for those who never lower your car!

If I want a big car, the 5gt will definitely be top of my list. its going to be list at ~730k and the cheapest 7 is over 1m. and you know what, I wouldnt be mistaken as the chauffeur. double wishbone front means its going to handle well, cant wait till I get a chance to try it. the only thing I would complain about will be the weight.
thx bill for the invite and feel honoured to have the big boss to come talking to us.

anytime man, i think it was nice for everyone to meet up and check the whole
range out.
the Gt with the Aluminium front and 400+ torque at 1500rpm should be like
a missile, and when comparing to the last 530i which was retailing at 680k,
with 306hp and 400+torque and that elect tailgate, rear space, better interior seems a bargain.
it looks like an X6 lowered..
i am holding out for the F10, imagine the advertised gold new 7 series F02 with a shorter and thicker body and some more sculpture on the bonnet....

I would get a 535 instend.
but for me 2.5 is max unless it is a Z4
