I think you are probably right, the PHEV is a better solution for me. The lease rates are way better on the 580 right now though we’ll see how they do. I’m going to ride it out until November unless I’m presented with a great deal so I can get the refresh if I don’t stay in mine.
I don’t even think of EVs as a next car. Or even think of a next car at all.
was weren’t about you friend. Didn’t see you for a while. Hope you bought your wife a good meal for Valentine’s Day

I would change it out to an aftermarket non air. If available.

If that's correct, then the first picture is about 3/4 quart low, while the second is about 1/8 low.
Thanks. I think this feature should be on all cars
I would never go to a coil suspension, the air suspension is a big reason why I love the car.
Has it crapped out yet? Air suspensions are not known for durability.
I can remember when Lincoln was selling kits to owners for a retro-fit to conventional-suspension because the air-suspensions on Town Cars were failing so often.
There is one out there in the red that is very sharp, it has 21s I would need to sell those and get 20s. I’ll find the link to it. It’s a 23 leftover I wonder what kind of deal I could get on that

Thank you!
It's been a hellish couple weeks.
PS- taking wife out to eat this weekend for Valentine's Day, I'll post pics in the "what's for dinner" thread.

Her favorite is Outback so that's probably where we will go!

I can't ever go with a black car, I would literally go insane and never touch it yet alone drive it.
Blasphemy!
Black MB is the only color that should be considered. lol
Yep,

The air suspensions should be reliable up to high mileage.
I didn't have any problems on my CL500 until it hit 90K and even then it was just a sensor for $250.00 plus with labor.

Who wants to buy a car and have to change the rims and tires?
Seems like too much work for a new car, IMO.

Sorry, I'm not feeling it yet but that's just me...
I like the red that was posted up above better.

No my air suspension is fine, but if I keep it it’s not impossible that I might have issues down the line.

Well I would swap out the run flat tires anyways, so I would have to buy tires anyways. I’d rather not but if a particular car is such a good deal then it may be worth it.
Finding one of these on a lot that isn’t silver, black or white isn’t easy. So, you have to be a little flexible if you’re not going to order one. I wound up with white by default.

Nothing to apologize for, I don’t own that car. That’s the same generation of my car I was just pointing out to AJT that they have had a dark burgundy/red in the past.
Thank you!

I mean to be totally fair Mercedes official color is silver lol! Black is just the high end car stereotype.......and Audis official color, I just cant deal with owning a black car. I had one once and it was maddening.
I'm a big fan of red. The majority of my vehicles have been red. I'd have bought my BMW in red if they had a nice metallic red available on the pre-LCI 540i's. Unfortunately they didn't.
