For sale is my 300 SDL. Bought in 2009 from the 2nd. owner.(Always in Florida). I looked at several before going with this one. Even saw one with the trap oxidizer still in, that became a recall item. This car has a chief feature that I havent seen listed with other SDL's, and thats a crate engine acquired at the dealer in 2000 for 12K.! This engine has the -20 cyl. head, much stronger than the original -17 prone to crack mostly as a result of the high temp. generated by the trap oxydizer. This car probably had the cyl. head cracked, overheated to the point of damaging the engine but the original owner decided to keep the car and invest. So the dreaded 300 SDL cyl. head is not a case here. As preventive maintenance I changed the thermostat, flushed the system using only ZEREX G05.
Around the same time the transmission was rebuild at the same dealer too. I serviced the transmission twice with seal and filter also installed and upgraded vacuum modulator valve. This car doesnt run like a diesel, merging into the highway is the answer why in the back it says just TURBO! Very unique, long wheelbase 6 cyl. diesel only build 86 to 87 for the US only, came back in 91 as 350 and with a history of engine damage due to rod bending. This model is probably the most interesting of the Sonderklasse W126. Now the 126 had issues with rust under the rear windshield and this unit has it extensively. See pic. I listed as options leather seats, it actually has MB tex, much better option, probably the reason why theres no cracks or tears. Only the forward armrest has cracks. All the options work including cruise control. I have worked on all the windows at least once, and they function smoothly. Clearcoat is pealing all over I only focused on the mechanics making it a more reliable car than before. Michelins have 60% + treat left. Recent work, changed seals on IP, no leaks Rebuild power steering pump, before it had high and low pressure lines changed plus flush and filter. Serpentine belt, pulley and belt tensioner shock are about 3 years old. AC serviced, blows cold. Since 2009, engine mounts, fuel lines delivery and return, tank strainer, inline filter and filter. Star tron additive. Some front end and front brakes. Feel free to contact me with any questions that may rise. |

Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...
BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
