666DUB Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) This is my new motor which I've had now for about 9 months. It's a 2011 Mercedes E class coupe 350 CDi . I had my Lupo TDI for 5 years and what a great car it was , but I came into a bit of cash, so thought I'd treat meself. Sorry it's took me so long to post pics, but believe it or not I've only just learned how to post pics ( I know very sad.) Edited March 22, 2019 by 666DUB No pic.

davy26 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 For day-to-day use and fun, I'd never want to be without my Lupo Gti, but I've driven a lot of Mercs in recent years, and, apart from various AMGs, I enjoyed none more than E-Class models - quick, well mannered, stylish interior, elegant and super-comfortable. Hope you'll enjoy it for a great many miles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you'll enjoy it for a great many miles! What would be cool is an homage to the lupo on your new car... like a UPO reg plate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, retrofitted a load of stuff to an x class the other day and the looms had Nissan all over them, and the citan has Renault stickers all over it. What he’s saying is Mercedes - like most manufacturers - are in cahoots with a load of others, basically so they can sell the same product with a few upgrades for a lot more money.

666DUB Posted March 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Ahh, right got ya, although I have to say, so what, does it really matter? As long as it's a nice motor, which it is. I mean I loved my Lupo TDI, didn't give a monkeys what parts were on it. Edited March 25, 2019 by 666DUB Mistakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
