Mercedes-Benz

Photos of Skylar Diggins which she posted in Twitter.Skylar Diggins, a third overall draft in the Tulsa Shock team of the WNBA this year, was definitely surprised when she found a white Mercedes-Benz complete with a red bow just after her graduation ceremony from the University of Notre Dame last Sunday, May 19. It turned out that it was a surprise gift from Jay-Z, her sports agent, through his sports representation agency called Roc Nation Sports.Diggins immediately tweeted a photo of her new car while she was still in her graduation robes due to her excitement. Then, she jokingly said that “I got 99 problems, but a Benz ain’t one.”

The complex design on the new Formula One steering wheel of Mercedes-Benz allows the driver to effortlessly control all digitally-adjustable features of the vehicle.Most of the controls and instruments of Formula One cars have gradually moved into the steering wheel over the years. These controls like employing the pit-lane speed limiter system or modifying the fuel mixture and traction control, will allow the driver to manage the different functions of the car during the race.New additions to the control system on the steering wheel include managing the front wing of the vehicle and the boost button, which increases the power of cars with the KERS system temporarily.In addition to providing control over the functions of the car, the steering wheel also gives drivers all the necessary information they need while on the race track. The multi-function LCD gives the driver a signal when to shift gears at the appropriate time. It also offers information about speed, lap times, and engine temperature.Safety features also include warning lights that alert drivers on possible dangers on the track like debris or an accident.

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has constantly been at the forefront in design and aesthetics as it offers innovations that set the standards in the industry. The vehicle also evokes the values and strength that the brand offers to consumers.The 200 and 300 models set the trend for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class in 1951. The three-box design of the saloons in 1954 became the prototype for modern-day cars. It offered good space, low weight and notable aerodynamics.Safety was the primary concern on the body design on the W111 and W112 models. The safety body concept was developed by Béla Barényi of Mercedes-Benz. It offered a passenger cabin with a fixed shape and crumple zones.The first Mercedes-Benz model that used the S-Class name was the 116 model series. It featured a wedge design in addition to a low waistline. The dirt-resistant tail lights and new wind guides highlight the safety considerations on the design of the vehicle.By 1979, plastic-coated bumpers were used in place of chrome bumpers on the S-Class 126. Fuel-consumption was also reduced due to the novel body design, which also provided protection for the car body and pedestrians. The S-Class 140 was released in 1991, which initially received mixed reactions from consumers and experts before it became widely accepted around the world.Curves were added to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class 220, which gave it a rather elegant appearance. It also set a new standard in large car designs. Digital driving assistance systems were also integrated into the design of the vehicle that facilitated the operation of numerous comfort functions through a central control panel.The design tradition of Mercedes-Benz is also integrated into the 2013 model of the S-Class as it continues to set the benchmark for high-end luxury vehicles around the world.

Hi Fellow Benzers; my 2000 ml430's 1-4 cylinder is misfiring continously even though the plugs were firing and injectors hve an audible clicking sound. O2 sensor #2 on #1 O2 snsor bnk had been replaced also. Injectors 1-4 had been pulled out and cleaned but engine still running rough and above problem is showing on analyzer. Pls help :

1 have a 2008 g500 and after getting car washed a door open message appears for passenger. I have the automatic door lock at 5 mph and that seems to be messed up also. The open and close door lock switches on the dash also will not work. I assume since I cannot see any traditional type switch in jamb that it must be a magnetic type of switch on the post. How the heck do you get to it? :eek:

Hey, Just purchased a new B250 and so far love it. I encountered a unique problem. With the front seats adjusted for myself (I'm 5' 11" not overly tall) I couldn't lower the back seats flat because the rear headrest hit the back of the driver seat. No problem right because the headrest was extended. But when I went to lower it flat to the top of the seat it wouldn't go all the way down. I called my dealer and they gave me a letter from MB stating some gobbledegook about safety reason etc. it can't be put right down in Canada. I've seen numerous pictures with the rear headrests down. My dealer said they are looking into it further. Anybody encountered the same problem and come up with a solve?

Hello there ! So, I just got a free Mercedes CLK ! It's a european spec 230 Kompressor from the year 2000. It has a blown supercharger and blown automatic gearbox. So, before giving the Benz away, the owner scrapped everything he could disassemble out of the car to hopefully get some money. So yes, it's a free car, but the interior, doors, fenders, hood, trunk, seats, radiators etc ... are missing. My little brother is having his driver's license next year, so I guess I'll be pretty awesome for him to have a CLK as a first car. Already found another crashed CLK which has done some rollovers, I can retrieve a full interior for free and also found two complete doors (except rearview mirrors) for 250€ So far, this is the list of what's missing on the car : - Supercharger - Water radiator - A/C radiator/condenser - Intake manifold - A lot of piping - visco Ventilator - Starter motor - Alternator - Electric fans - Throttle body - ?? Auto gearbox radiator ?? - Intercooler - Headlights - Front bumper - Rear bumper - Tail lights - Hood - Trunk lid - Power steering pump - Airbox Maybe more and this is why I need to check this out with you guys. So, time to show off my incredible ride ! First picture : Front left corner. I guess the A plug and the one to the right of it are for the headlights right ? Something is missing in the B location, have no clue what it is ... The C pipe is cutted off, no idea where this goes. Second picture : right side of the engine Okay, I guess the A is the PCV that goes into the intake The B looks like a water hose, no idea where it goes Same for C and D Third picture : engine bay You can clearly see the alternator, supercharger and intake manifold missing. Is there anything I should know ? I guess power steering pump should also be there somewhere as hoses have been cut out. Next picture : right side in the trunk So I guess either A or B are the tail light plugs or maybe both. C D and E are just hanging around, they should go onto something right ? Next one : WTF is this ? Looks like an IR transmitter/receiver, it's just hanging by the driver's side with like 2 meters of shielded wire. Does it go inside the door or something ? Another one : lower engine bay This one has been pissing oil during the whole trip, making my trailer rust-free-guaranteed-for-life. There's another one at the other side of the engine. My guess is this is from the gearbox and goes to a cooler or radiator :confused: And last but not least : That's under the steering wheel, by the left wall. Something has gone terribly wrong here.:eek::eek::eek: Please tell me this is plugged into a stupid -- and inexpensive -- door module or something similar. I can get the connectors from the crashed CLK I'm scavenging the interior, but I'd like to know what these are plugged into. That's all for now Thanks for your time and help. Also any link to a 230K build thread or CLK interior assembling/disassembling thread would be greatly appreciated. Also forgive my english as it's not my mother tongue :rolleyes: Cheers ! EDIT : missing picture

It appears that another luxury vehicle has been added into the vehicle collection of comedian Kevin Hart. The American comedian and actor may be funny on stage but he does not joke around with his cars. His collection already includes a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, and it appears that the garage will have to make room for his brand new Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG.He posted a photo of himself standing beside the new acquisition on his Instagram account around one week ago. He indicated in the same post that it was a big toy for a little boy and he has a Napoleon complex, which is quite obvious with the picture showing the huge vehicle beside him.The Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG does appear to dwarf the 5-foot-two-inch star. The G63 has a height of six feet and four inches. According to Kevin, the new luxury SUV cost him around $134,300, which is the base price of the vehicle in the US.
