Definitely a lack of education.
Poor grasp of language and spelling. Can't express himself without resorting to bad language. DAS For direct contact replace nospam with schmetterling --- "ggslash" > wrote in message oups.com... > > and your a prime example of an asshole > |

lack of education, i find it funny that you flatter your self with your
own intelligence over a topic such as bmw, big deal if you claim to know about bmw's. the lack of education was from your parents to teach you the calling others dumb was a great thing. i feel sorry for you that you have some insecurity issues. that you have to feel superior then others by calling them dumb theirs doctors out their who can help you. |

There was an expression in Germany (don't know if still used):
A BMW is the car for a man going places. A Merc is the car for the man who has arrived. DAS For direct contact replace nospam with schmetterling --- "Richard Sexton" > wrote in message ...

I don't think anyone was calling anyone "dumb". In a written forum
nobody -- unless personally familiar with said person -- can tell if anyone is unable to speak or not... DAS For direct contact replace nospam with schmetterling --- "ggslash" > wrote in message oups.com... [...] by calling them dumb [...] |

Termites would have got at my 633 then. There aint no wood nowhere except in the drivers head. BMW and MB are more alike that say, Audi or Porsche. MB's are made more for comfort and BMW"s made more for performance, but do not underestimate the comfort of a BMW or performance on an MB. The similarities also extend to what comes as standard on models throughout the price range. The big cars (MB S class, BMW 7 series) always have wood. The smaller and cheaper cars, less to none although this is also a function of time - older cars seems to have more as do very new ones. There is also the phenomenon that (and I don't know how this works with BMW but suspect it follows the MB model) where only a small percentage of the models made are brought in by the american imported and typically only the higher end ones that comes with lots of goodies only found as options in Germany. People make a big deal of a benz in the US. It's the moral equivalent of a Chevy in Germany. It's just a car there. I've always associated a heavy use of wood in car interiors with British cars, not German ones. -- Need Mercedes parts? http://parts.mbz.org Richard Sexton | Mercedes stuff: http://mbz.org 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Home pages: http://rs79.vrx.net 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | http://aquaria.net http://killi.net |

I must admit to some degree of puzzlement when seeing "leather" etc and
"German" in association in the same sentence. Whilst, of course, they do have it, it is more common to think of 'English' cars in this connection, especially if the words "luxurious" or "sumptious" are brought into play. Ownership of the marque is neither here nor there as the present owners seem to want to continue the tradition started decades ago. I have a fairly upmarket model from one of the said German brands with leather seats and wood trim. The leather is actually quite nice but the wood trim definitely looks like it came out of a plastics molding machine. The overall effect is nowhere near the 'drawing room luxury' of a Jag or Bentley. Actually the main reason I have leather is because I was advised to get it in view of the car being a cab (riolet, not taxi-) and leather being more weather-resistant.

You need both. Sometimes you really feel like taking one of the other and it's interesting to me the different feeling you get sitting behind the wheel of these two different cars - as opposed to sitting behind the wheel of some ****box like a ford focus or a toyota which seems to sort of whine "can we get this over with" at you. -- Need Mercedes parts? http://parts.mbz.org Richard Sexton | Mercedes stuff: http://mbz.org 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Home pages: http://rs79.vrx.net 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | http://aquaria.net http://killi.net |
