Yes. But with all due respect the rest is rubbish.

In your humble opinion that may well be, but in my humble opinion its far better built than the M and as good as my 230G I used to have!

X3 AND Chrysler 300.................WHY OH WHY did you have to point that out Chris :cry: :cry: The shame of it all. What do I do? Flog the G's or just put an end to it with some matches and a gallon of petrol? I feel tainted :roll:

Re: Wheres the jeep?

very good comments!!

Seriously - you guys have a wealth of knowledge, experience and suppliers which would be common between the vhicles (m class included) which I would like to take advantage of. This was why I joined when I had the G (in fact it was the question on the membership form about increasing mpg) and why it would be good to join with the Jepp.

I think you'll find that for all the bad jibes that go too and fro that if you have a specific question to put forward then it will get answered.
