Since 2004 (year that I got my first car with ESP) I've religiously turn that button off everytime I get in the car. I do that in any car that I get into.

Nice Videos!!
I said it wrong. I alot of the time do the same as you, but the MB system has changed for 2011, to more like BMW's stability system. If you turn it off all the way you are on your own, and that might be fine for the open road/track... However leaving the first level engaged, you still have a small safety-net if you are running around the streets, where trees, and curbs, and other cars get in the way. Similar to the BMW's in the sense it has two levels, and it adapts to the way you like to drive. The MBc63 broke traction so easy, and clearly is in need of some sticky rubber w/out question.

My local BMW dealer had an C63 AMG Black Series($79,000,2008?) on their lot a few weeks ago.While I was drooling over all the carbon fiber that was stuffed into it,a guy pulled up in a golf cart with a kid(turns out it was the dealership owner and his grandson).I said to him,"He's treating you good today"(because he was gonna give his grandson a joy ride in that beast)The owner leaned out the window and said to me,"he's got a little boner"(cuz he was excited to get to ride in the Merc).I said," will you please get on it when you leave the lot?"....well the videos above speak to how it sounded.WHAT A FREAKIN' BEAST!

I could make a joke....but I'll refrain from it....well let's say that the car was designed in europe.

I was going to make a new thread... but I thought I might as well post these photos from the latest AutoBild Mag here... Enjoy!
This new 1-er is the GT four door version. AutoBild says this cross over car will be FWD. The MB is their CLC shooting brake concept. And the Audi is the new A3 sport back. www.autobild.de |

That A3 looks pretty cool.
I LOVE that 1 GT sedan. But, FWD!? I'd take an AWD version though. That would be a cool A3 quattro rival. NO WAY to just FWD. If BMW brings a 1 sedan like the one in the pic with RWD or AWD, I may have found my next car. Nice! |
