Nothing whatsoever has gone wrong in the first 22,000 miles.
Great, great, great car! The best I've ever owned. More comfortable than my neighbours Lexus LS400 and faster than my brothers Cossie!! Too many kids in XR3s want to race.
17 inch multipiece wheels are a bear to keep clean. A bit difficult getting a smooth start in 1st...clutch can be a bit vague. Surprising economy...cruising in 6th at 95+ at only 2000rpm. Front end styling beautiful...rear end rather boring but less contrived than Audi A-6. A few too many jealous morons with sharp keys.
Did you ever race a c43? I own a c43 and love racing 540's. It is always close but my c43 comes out on top.
To be fair, I'd expect a C43 to come out on top. The C43 is Mercs answer to the M3 (which comprehensively destroys the C43, albeit without the option of an auto box).
An E430 would be a closer match, and I think you'll find that the 540 is just a touch quicker...
I agree. You should compete with M3s and not with family 540is saloons!

Well you shouldn't call this car a "racer" anyway. It seats 4 comfortably, has full power and a smooth v-8. It's a sport tourer. If you want sports car compare a merk or something to an M-5, a little more fair. I mean we don't all compare Ferrari 360 Modenas to Toyota camrys do we?
