The woman is sitting way too close to the steering wheel, how can she drive properly with her arms so close to the wheel?

The current and an older S-Class.

^ Only W222 is the worthy successor to the king of the automobile empire.

 

[Mick Briesgau]

Yep, the two best looking S ever: both represent the quintessential S Klasse imo.

 

[sl123]

Mick - you are right. But don't forget the W116. I drove them all... Each one a beauty. And representing the epitome of a luxury car at the respective time

 

[Sovereign]

^ Agreed. All S classes before w140 were masterpiece designs, the best looking in their class. W116 was and still is so pretty. But w126 became the pinnacle and later models could not match the highest standards in design set by W126. W221 IMO was the worst in design especially the SWB version. W222 returned the design superiority of Mercedes in this class to the levels seen in 1980s with W126.

I've been driving an E 220d for the last two weeks because there's a serious Problem with my car. Apparently there's something wrong with the exhaustion. The exhaustgasses are "pushing" against something and can't easily flow away. Sensors notice this and they put my car in somekind of safetymode (Max rpm 3.000, maximum gear 5th and no kick-down). MB has changed/renewed all sensors and sockets in that part of the motor. Now they're looking info the catalytic converter. The worst thing is, the time I've lost. Been there 3 times and the problem isn't solved yet. I'm even thinking about buying something else.

Maybe exaust regeneration process aborted. That's happens in city driving. Common problem for newer diesels.

Thanks for your input. Not likely, it's a longdistance vehicle, mostly Autobahn/ highway.

 

[W201]

Trouble is, Mick mostly drives on A-Bahn.

Either way - two weeks period is unacceptable.

EDIT: Ah, Mick was faster...

 

[WAND]

"Now they're looking info the catalytic converter."
I suppose that here is a issue.
But they are really slow, 2 weeks...

 

[Mick Briesgau]

In those two weeks I got it back 3 times, being told it was repaired. In all 3 times the same problem occured again the next day. If I get the car back this week and the problem still occurs, I'm going to sell my car.

 

[WAND]

I would change servicer.

We had the kind of problem with two of our cars in our corporate fleet. The first was a Ford Focus Turnier TDCI and the other one was a 318d Touring. I don't know what happened to the Ford but in case of the BMW, the 318d directly went "back" to BMW. We got this car back after a month. If they can't fix your problem, you should ask them to send your car for a "final" repair to Sindelfingen or Untertürkheim.

That is very disappointing and a definite waste of your time..Surely they should rest the car before they call you back.

 

[fortuner]

If you sell your car what you thinking to buy ...S Coupe? E CLASS ?

 

[Mick Briesgau]

Thanks @BMW3GT, the dealer is already in touch with Sindelfingen. At the moment they are working on the car according to some special guidelines directly from Sindelfingen. If you ask me, Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen knows exactly what's wrong...

 

[Mick Briesgau]

Good question. I don't know yet. I wanted the FL W222 coming next August. However, if this contineous, I shall not wait for it.

The EGR valve?
