Hello everyone. I am new to the forum. I got a 2006 c230 yesterday. It is my first mercedes. I traded a 2003 BMW 325. The mercedes has a beautiful interior.

 

congrats on the new car, and welcome to the forum!!

how does it compare thus far to the bimmer?

 

The mercedes doesn't seem as aggressive as the BMW. This could have something to do with the way I drive it. I love the looks of the mercedes so much more.

 

Get to know your Mercedes and it's handling/driving capabilities. Then you will really be able to compare! Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the forums!

 

Thanks. Yes, I am getting more used to driving it except for a small incident yesterday. In my old BMW to put it in manual the shifter would move all the way to the left and they you shifted by pushing it up and down. I must have it the shifter in the MB yesterday and it was only in 1st or 2nd gear. I didn't realize this. I just knew my car wasn't running right and I freaked out. My sales person figured it out for me and everything is working fine now. I am having my radio switched out on Friday for one with Satellite radio.
