Well my new car only has 230 bhp or 250 bhp, depending on which bit of paper I read.

It certainly shifts for a two ton tessie.

It certainly did NOT take me 5 minutes to start, get in gear and release parking brake though.

That seems unfair on the Merc, the 530d is the third worst car ever in the whole world. Mark said so.

Remind me what you said about your 530d when you replaced it with a 7-series, SJ?

Something about not doing anything wrong but not being memorable ? Quite different to Mark’s review.

Ask Mark about the time he bought a 7

Isn’t the 300d a 4 cylinder and the 350d’s were 6 cylinders??

300d switched from 6 to 4 cylinders about 2012 (hybrid ?), 350d stayed as a 6

Well bugger me this car is complicated! I managed to pair my phone but it's not intuitive (compared to anything I've owned anyway) but it won't play music from my phone so having just swapped PCs I am left with no easily accessible music to dump on a memory card or similar to try and load onto the onboard HD.

I am rubbish at tech but out of 46 cars I am not sure I have ever spent as much time actually RTFM

Every days a school day - I thought the 300d engine was newer than that and ‘replaced’ the 250 in the c class, e class, GLC etc
