  2. Do you daily drive a S Class? I'm a private individual under the age of 60, and have just under 30k miles on my 222 and I'm still loving it. Which technology am I lucky for if it works? Where are the horrendous electronic bugs, and the things which break every other week? Tell me and I'll go have a look and take a video for you. The only place I've seen chauffeur driven S Class' is in London, and other hotspots like Los Angeles. There's more private owned S Class' in London than there are 7 Series and A8s combined. There are 2 7 Series(facelift), and 1 A8 in my residential area, whilst there's 4 S Class' within 2 roads from my home. Where are you getting your statistics from?

  3.  @nitishgupta5959  I’ve had s classes, a8s and range rovers for years; rear screens are useless in the UK. I think the new 7 is ugly inside and out, the one thing I do love is BMWs individual leather

  4. The S Class saves lives due to its safety, Wolfman on MBWorld is living proof that it does.

  5. "look at that rubbish shiny plastic the Merc has, its cheap looking." Please sit inside any of the cars in the video before talking 'rubbish'. My old A8 had the same interior colour scheme, and there is not much difference in the wood 'quality' between the S Class and A8. I can also gurantee you that it in no way looks cheap, or feels cheap. I only wish there was more possible colours. One thing I have to say about wood in either car is that the A8s urethane resin ensures that nothing could damage it, I tried changing the colour but it was impossible lol.

  6. All I can say is you are yet to sit in a S Class by you calling the interior a "bloody embarrassment". Even the C Class uses real, laser cut wood, not plastic lol. In neither car are the air vents cheap, I''ve essentially dismantled the S Class and can attest to this. I have an A4 as a DD and would prefer the C Class - if it was not for it looking so similar to the S. The A4s bang and olufsen is better than the C Class' burmester though. The Q7 interior definitely looks better than the GLS', it seems too similar to the GLE whereas you'd expect it to be more like the S Class. There are many people who have better things to say about the S Class' interior, including many reviewers, business executives, and awards. Sales figures show this too, with the S Class selling at minimum 2 and a half times more than the A8 each year.

  7. He probably does know what he's talking about but as we both are an example of as well as the other reviewers here and on youtube, people have different feelings on the samethings. The S Class is way superior in terms of interior materials to the C Class, E Class and entire of the Mercedes range except probably the new V Class passenger vehicle. The main reason I know so much is because I've taken apart a lot of the cars I've mentioned for retrofits such as Burmester 3D in my S350, bang and olufsen/mmi 3g high in an A4 and telephone retrofits in 2 A8s. I've also been in my friends S8 to speeds at which I probably shouldn't mention but I could probably send my sons video if you really want to see it lol.

  8. Most audio systems are built by the car manufacture and the name is basically just purchased to stick onto the audio system.

  9. Like what? The only other video is motortrend where the S Class won lol

  10. "like this!" like what?

  11. soundseeker63 Yeah, the c63s gets much more power on pump with stage 1 turbos compared to the m4 on stage 2 turbos and meth

  13. BMW can make good interiors, I do like the new 5 series interior, it's more 7 series than e class is s class like. I in no way mean that as a negative, it makes it a much more appealing choice than the previous generation.
    1
  14. I think it looks really nice. I want one as a daily driver since an E Class and S Class combo wouldn't be that nice due to how similar they are.
    1
  15. I have a 222 S350 already lol. The current 5 series isn't to my liking, but this new facelifted one seems like a 7 series and is definitely the the only choice if you disregard the E Class.

  16. Latvietis96 The M4 CS is a limited production car and the new c63s is coming soon anyway

  17. The Mercedes has many more options left. Burmester 3D, executive packages e.t.c, roughly the same amount as the 7 Series. The 7 Series is a bigger version of the G10 5 Series.

  18. ManiakP0w3r I meant G11 vs G30, Even BMW fans had said they look so similar : http://www.bmwblog.com/2016/10/12/2017-bmw-g30-5-series-vs-bmw-g11-7-series-photo-comparison/ A lot of people who claim they're so similar, don't remember (or too young to know) the older generations of cars from both manufactures. Every few lifecycles most cars are similar, but with luxury car sales increasing, every brand does it now in an attempt to bring in more sales.

  19. ManiakP0w3r What are you talking about? The S Class was unveiled in early 2013 and was available for sale in September 2013. The C Class was unveiled at Detroit early-mid 2014 and was available for sale in September 2014. The C Class came a year after the S Class, which will probably result in similar time to G11 7 vs G30 5.

  20. ManiakP0w3r I do live in London. Here is a 2013 S350, noted by the 63 plate meaning September 2013 : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2014-Mercedes-Benz-S-Class-3-0-S350L-CDI-BlueTEC-SE-Line-7G-Tronic-Plus-4dr-/152270215928?hash=item2374031af8:g:YXEAAOSwRoxXm2z1
    1
  21. ManiakP0w3r What question am I avoiding? Also 63 plate means built between September 2013 and February 2014 which is months before the C Class was even unveiled.

  22. Orders could be played since May 2014 : http://mbworld.org/forums/new-s-class-w222/499872-just-placed-my-order-today-but-have-few-questions-mbc.html "Europe models went on sale at the end of July 2013, followed by China at the end of September 2013, USA at October 2013."

  24. ManiakP0w3r You're the idiot lol. Have a look at the DVLA website, THE PEOPLE WHO GIVE OUT the numberplates : https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/533255/inf104-vehicle-registration-numbers-and-number-plates.pdf "Sept 2013 – Feb 2014 63"

  25. You're taking the chart wrongly lmao. According to your measurements, 2 12 inch subwoofers which create over 100db in volume are over 10000x as noisy as a car driving at 70mph. The 2 subwoofers wouldn't be 10000x louder as 2 people talking in a low volume forget about a moving car. You should have learnt this in physics at school.

  26. ManiakP0w3r Ok, my mistake, it wasn't only September but I corrected that in the next comment where I said September 2013 to February 2014.

  27. Foer Hoen No one who's old enough to get insured on a 320bhp e class would get driven to such personal insults by someone saying you don't own an e class, and who did you find that knows how to remap the new bosch ecu on the new e350d??
    1
  28. I have no need to "console" myself since I have a 222 S. I was being serious, the only method of tuning a new e350d as far as I have found is a piggyback chip which basically tricks the engine into running more rich, not a remap. The only reason people doubt you having one is because you're making "a complete dick out of yourself". Please, feel free to prove us wrong and upload a video as the picture you have of your car on instagram doesn't seem like a registered car.

  29. What are you talking about? You probably haven't even sat in a S Class and you are saying it can't compete with an A8. The S Class is superior in a lot of ways in terms of luxury to the A8, with one exception being possibly the sound system as I haven't heard the Bang and Olufsen 3D in it but if it's anything like the Q7's it would be fantastic. It is also a lot more sporty inside e.t.c. There are other factors in terms of loudness but the only time I've been in a 7 series new shape is on the M25 which in no way is quiet. There's been electric rear seats in the S Class and 4 zone climate for over a decade and the only 'sloppy' transmission is the S63s one in manual mode.

  30. ManiakP0w3r I recommend that you read the comment wrote by carwow when someone asked about the sound test. It'd be impossible for even a mini cooper to be 60% as loud, as it would equal sounds put out by 2 10" subwoofers. You're calling me a fanboy, yet you speak so highly of a car that you've never sat in before and talking about things which are practically impossible. You don't even know anything about either car except things from the internet. The 7 Series doesn't have a Bang and Olufsen system, it has Bowers and Wilkins. The A8 has bang and olufsen while the S Class has Burmester. Also, the S8s interior is the most sporty out of the 3 due to the positions in the car, steering wheel position e.t.c. You shouldn't be talking about things you know little about.

  32. DarkknightM4 Not all the time, a m3 with the same spec but it had ccb was 17lb lighter than a m4.
    1
  33. DarkknightM4 Ah my bad, the coupe is about 30kg lighter than the sedan as ccbs have a 15lb difference which basically evens out both cars, but the m4 had half a tank of fuel which is 30l compared to the relatively empty m3 which means 20kg difference.

  34.  @joshbacon8241  The UK loses a lot of options for most Mercs compared to other countries; you have to order a RHD from abroad or Mercedes world(or specific dealers I believe) to get certain colours/options
    1
  35.  @naab8485  The effect of having more power vs more weight isnt a 1:1 ratio with speed. It helps a little with acceleration at the start but it isnt anything like you assume lol.
    1
  36.  @straightshootah7550  Im sorry, what?? The 7 Series is definitely for older people relative to the S Class, look at any luxury blog and see what young people like being chauffeured in. The ultra rich in RRs and the rich in S Class'.

  37.  @lukayonny5898  The GT63s is 100% faster than the E63s. There's a video of speedometer view of GT63s proving it.
    1
  38.  @lukayonny5898  The video has the new GT63s going slower than certain S63s which I'm sure you know isnt possible lol. Theres other videos of dashboard view and caranddriver times of it.

  39. The S Class isn't a boat lol, I love driving mine and so do most other owners on MBWorld. You're the only one it seems who thinks the 222 is a boat to drive.
    1
  40.  @questionyourself718  I drive my S Class nearly everyday and have access to a 7 Series and am really confused what you're talking about. Nearly every other review says the complete opposite, if you search on Google 7 Series vs s class you'll find that they all say the s has a better ride comfort and that the rear seats are more comfortable with the a8 being closer in those aspects to the s class. Also, what do you mean numb and doesn't allow movement? The S Class has an incredibly smooth "handling", especially compared to the horrible 221. The 7 Series was definitely better to drive as a sporty vehicle though.
    1
  41. My bad. The S Class absorbs them, and as you said has incredibly light steering for a vehicle of its weight but it doesn't give much in the way of feedback.

  42.  @aidenp5768  Where's someone got 10.6 on a m5 comp?? The first tuned m5s were getting that lol.

  43.  @anonymoustravelvidz  Lol? A rwd 510hp amg got beaten by a 610+hp 4wd bmw. Were you expecting a different outcome??
    1
  44.  @anonymoustravelvidz  Theres no way a rwd car with less power can beat an awd car with over 100 more horsepower regardless of weight.

  45. Braden McHenry I drive mine nearly everyday. I don't have active body control but I haven't experienced what you claimed at any point except on a one lane carriageway in the early morning.

  46. Braden McHenry Don't understand how you can drive a car once and come to that conclusion, whilst you can go on mbworld and see what people who drive this car everyday think. Half the comments here are reporting issues of the s class but when I ask for evidence, or I offer to go check for them no one says anything lol.

  47. the helper of the peopledems My MBWorld account is UrBusted, I have a video of my car and can make another one for you right now. Apparently you don’t own one looll
    1
  48. the helper of the peopledems I’m not offended, you literally said “unless you’ve actually owned a merc”, which I have videos and pictures of on MBWorld. You can ask anyone on the w222 forum about their quality, I haven’t seen many comments supporting what you said lol
    1
  49. the helper of the peopledems Yes, I’m saying I don’t agree with your comments about quality and that the majority don’t agree. If they did the S Class wouldn’t be the worlds most sold luxury sedan. Feel free to look at comparisons on the g11 bimmerpost forums as well if you just think I’m being bias
    1
  50. Marcel Lukačić I never said the 7 series is bad quality, I’ve said that 7 class owners on the 7post think both the 7 series and s class are good quality cars without the issues he said. ​ About your other comment, my x308 jaguar xjr rusted, as did my LP Range when it was taken over by Ford, e39 530i sport, 2003 e320 etc. The 2000s were very bad for rust on all cars being produced
