Opel Insignia v MB C180 CGI v Audi A4 v BMW 318i

[Cerano]

Mannnnn I LOVE V6, V8 engines. The purrrr of the engine is music to my ears.

 

I test drove the Merc CLS 350 with a V6 engine and the Maserati Quarttroporte with a V8 engine. Makes it a joy to drive........ Until you have to top petrol again 2 days later..........

 

hear the SLS V8 purr...

i thought we're talking about exhaust noises here??? (not specific)....

 

but i guess the C-Class is due for a new model...its really getting on with age....

 

can't wait to see how the actual next generation of 3-Series model will look like.....

 

hope it grows in size though (like what Audi has done to the A4)....

i was once up north travelling at like 230 when suddenly this w204 from the convoy with modded exo sped past sounding like a jet fighter i swear

 

Wow was it a C63 AMG? That car is really fast.

 

From your earlier posts, you said that you modded your C200 with a Klassmann 2 package right? What mods did they do ? Did it cost you a bomb and will it affect your warranty?

take the 5 series, shrink it by 20% or so in size, remove the spec and u get the new 3 series...

[Ferraricalifornia]

the 3-Series will be more trendier styled than the grown up fuunf und sieben series models....

 

they have to do something about the boring interior designs though....

 

even Hyundai these days make it a point to have a good interior ambience for their cars....

IMHO, pure speed on NSH has no kick. Try driving on B road at 120km/h. Try timing & overtaking 3 cars at 1 go. That's the kick.

120km/h on b roads will spoil our suspension

Oops, sorry Kleemann..... Sigh too bad I can't do any mods cos my Merc is still under warranty. Anything I do under the hood will void the warranty. Might consider the mods after the warranty expires.

hi bro

 

you can consider kleemann too but if im right you only get the k-box without the pulleys on the C180. should still give you ~200bhp

[Ferraricalifornia]

most mercedes/ bmw drivers will change their car the moment the new model comes out right???

[Cerano]

New model is out every 6years... now around 2.5-3yrs old i guess

[Ferraricalifornia]

including facelift models???

[Cerano]

including facelift models???

 

facelift is 3yrs once

 

now facelift alr no change except for engine and optional LEDs

No lah...... I'm still made of flesh and bones. Cannot afford to change car every 3 years. I intend to keep this car for at least 5 years. I like driving this car anyway, its a quantum leap from my previous Opel Astra.
