If someone is averaging 29mpg, they really shouldn’t have a diesel. Shows most journeys are short and eventually they are going to have DPF issues. I have a 430D and she averages 40mpg, that’s mainly motorway with some heavy foot blasting now and then. Mercedes isn’t my thing, digital cockpit looks decent though.
I really like the way you appreciate cars for what they are Calv. Getting rid of unnecessary body kits and tints etc so the car can be as it was designed to be. Good use of the word chav too! Big congrats on tieing the knot too 🍾
This resonates with me I’ve typically bought BMW’s in the past but recently bought a 2019 E Class coupe based on the looks/interior only to have felt disappointed by the car compared to my previous less hi tech BMW’s
Beautiful wife and kid man you deserve some family time with your beautiful family mate!!! Any nice VW Passats TDI model do you have any of them mate don’t mind about the miles as long as it has service history with it thanks buddy enjoy your home time

You’re a bit unfair, you haven’t tried the amg yet and you make a comparison between the m5 and the e350..the e63amg comes with way up much better materials
A friend of mine has bought a 2018 white 400 petrol E class coupe this week with 40,000 miles from copart, minor damage cost him £23,000, needs £2000 in used parts
Agree 100%. Interior visuals are banging but the quality is disappointing. Used to be obsessed with Mercedes’ since a child but the scratchy materials and hard leathers even in the modern flagships gls and s class make me wanna cry 😂
@@freddiejones4598 defo creak a lot. Even the s class has textured leather. The new shape still has some cheap plastics unfortunately they lose in quality to bmw and Audi
@@neilmurphy845 well they are an older generation but I reckon they’re a lot closer to a ‘proper’ Mercedes’. 2015 onwards is when I think they initially started to lose it
Great video Cal. I have the same car mine is the prem plus with the Burmester audio systems, The sound is fantastic, mine has the air suspension system which I really like, mine is emerald green a truly lovely colour,
Can't really judge a merc off a convertible diesel....E63 is a beast and comfy as can be at the same time....Brilliant cars...Drive wise head and shoulders over an m5
Hey Calvin another fantastic video , when you get a chance let’s talk about soaring used car prices and used car market prices buying and selling best time to sell buy thanks
Hey calv completely agree with you about Mercedes’ in my opinion they have lost the solid quality and quality feel BMW all the way fella,the only car company privately owned 💯👍🏻🇬🇧👌👌👌👌🏻
Im so with you on the Mercedes thing. I cant quite put my finger on it either. Iv had countless Mercedes cars over the years including an E350 CDI Coupe, a C55 AMG and more recently a C63 AMG W204 model.....my issue was that each Mercedes I have had has had issues. My BMW's on the otherhand have all been super reliable. I currently have a BMW M235i and that thing is a real hoot.....although Mercedes AMG/AMG Line cars look great, for me the way they drive, the road presence, the excitement that comes from driving them is not on par with a BMW.......
I think it's preference n depends which dealers u go to. There will be good and bad for every company. For me it's the opposite, every Merc I had was flawless no issues however slight small problems with bmw.
The E class definitely has something over the C class (as it should) but one interesting fact it’s hardly any bigger but just seems to have more road presence - beautiful car in my opinion and l love the mat ( 😁not official term) finish of the wood affect - I don’t do the mileage to get the benefit from a diesel I just wish Mercedes did a E63 coupe ! Your very interesting to listen to young man 👍👍
Still prefer Mercedes over BMW, What is it with BMW eating their big end bearings ? Years ago you bought a BMW with a straight six or V8 knowing it would run forever, Not any more.
Merc’s drive very meh. That’s the non AMGs. I’m the same as Calv not into Merc’s. Audis Lexus BM much preferred. Been in trade 15 years. Obv the c63 black series and the like yes yes yes. But the CDIs and Kompressers of old. Yeh. They’re just what they are. So many on road. I feel Calv and I obviously wrong.
I like how you tried to compare this to your M5 lol. Or sort of compared it. C63s Amg is direct comp to m5 and personally sounds so much better, looks better, and dare i say is quicker? BMW = driver cars MERC = Classy.👍
I’ve got a 66 plate C class 2.2 diesel AMG convertible electric window buttons always break very cheap and nasty bought ones on eBay £5 for two better than Mercedes
Congratulations on your wedding Calvin. Must admit to also being a BMW fanboy but if someone were to offer me an E class or an S class I wouldn’t be too unhappy with it.
All 2019' comes with the fullscreen dash. Mercedes is light years a ahead of BMW and the rest of the market with tech, looks and design. But they are not drivers cars they are classy/luxury cruisers. BMW's are a better driving machine, as they state themselves but that comes with a very outdated design Insde and out.
That’s gorgeous not nearly as fast as your M5 but sooooooo pretty looks a million diamonds 💎 Mercedes smash aesthetic looks inside and out and they win 🏆 truth told my personal preference is Mercedes over BMW having owned both from new so cards on the table yes love the Mercedes brand more but I your M5 is stunning
I used to work for Mercedes and always felt the same way about quality. Just couldn't put my finger on it.
You mention it’s got a 9-speed ZF gearbox. It’s not as Mercedes’ don’t use the ZF, they make their own where as most other brands buy in the ZF.
Congrats on your wedding buddy

Cal hit the nail on the head when it comes to Mercedes, exactly my feelings.
Looks much nicer without the skirts and splitter, just needs normal clean number plates. Such a classy car.
You deffiently need to do an update on the project cars calv mwhat's happening with the m5 the shed and the golf r and the m3 touring?
You can’t compare that to an M5. Get an E63s and then compare.
This resonates with me I’ve typically bought BMW’s in the past but recently bought a 2019 E Class coupe based on the looks/interior only to have felt disappointed by the car compared to my previous less hi tech BMW’s
Done well with removing that hideous oversize splitter 🤢 looks nice now

Not a ZF gearbox. Mercedes use their own gearboxes

It's true latest Mercedes Cars arend build as the older ones w204 / w212..ones.
Dash skreeks And stuff. Still very Nice cars
4:25
Obviously it's not everything Calv.
Sort those wing mirrors out aswell (Hopefully they are wrapped!!! Pearlescent paint😱😱)
Looks like it had a front end damage, the gaps between the bonnet and side panels are very off
Spotted this too
My mums got a 2016 a class and the camera is also as good quality so glad I got her to get the newer shape when she got it 😊

Yeah Mercedes interiors have been awful for years. Look superficially nice but Terrible quality and everything creaks
Also they don’t use real leather anymore accept on their proper 63 amg’s. It’s plastic
@@freddiejones4598 defo creak a lot. Even the s class has textured leather. The new shape still has some cheap plastics unfortunately they lose in quality to bmw and Audi

Didn't even put the roof down ☔🤣
That bird was a magpie nice motor Calvin 👍
Have you ever driven a 640D ? Power and the noise it makes is an un diesel like roar. I love mine
Shame about the convertible roof, otherwise a nice looking car.
Why do you hate the Ghost immobiliser?
I understand as a trader it must be frustrating, but as a car owner, they're awesome!
Front bumper is a different colour!
Can't really judge a merc off a convertible diesel....E63 is a beast and comfy as can be at the same time....Brilliant cars...Drive wise head and shoulders over an m5
Mercedes from 2015 are best interiors out of the 3 German cars
How much did you pay for the wheel refurb??? I have similar car. Thansk
Hi Calvin congratulations on getting married and hope it went both ok for you
12:40 Drive a E63S AMG youll scrap your m5
Relax my guy

You forgot to mention in sports mode plus the suspension should get harder
Its not a premium plus so should be a few grand cheaper as its an expensive option.

@@suhail1200 there’s a reason merc are used for taxis over BMW’s and Audi’s-far more reliable if serviced and looked after.
@@zak6931 Another reason is the road presence. People gravitate toward the three pointed star.
I drive a DPD 2020 Mercedes sprinter for a living and it keeps up with some boy racers 😂
I used to drive 318 cdi. Surprised quite a few people how quick it was.
My works van, long wheel based sprinter, 61 plate and tops out at 110mph (loaded) 🤫😂
@@Brad8261 love it! 👌🏼😂
Almost bought a bm off you before, on trader, binca flyers in the background on the photos lol
It's crazy I would die for just a 200bhp car and keep it for like 10 years..
This guy owns a car a week at 300bhp++
Why don’t you Review Ricky’s M3 touring!! It’s a real beast of a car!!
great videos bro
The virtual cockpit is great along with them wheels but just doesn't excite me
The vents look like those Olden day cigarette ash trays
This or C class coupe?
The E class definitely has something over the C class (as it should) but one interesting fact it’s hardly any bigger but just seems to have more road presence - beautiful car in my opinion and l love the mat ( 😁not official term) finish of the wood affect - I don’t do the mileage to get the benefit from a diesel I just wish Mercedes did a E63 coupe ! Your very interesting to listen to young man 👍👍
That’s the car I want but I don’t want the AMG version. To me AMG’s should be taken to a track to experience their full power.
Hows the m3 Estate? Update?
Hope you are all staying safe and well
That splitter and side skirt bits looked shit. Much cleaner in its standard form 👌
Calv love the videos. Would you chose this merc over a bmw 435d cabriolet that you did a video some years ago.
Thanks mate. Yea I’d deffo rather have this over a 435d cab. I’d say this car is more comparable to a 6 series in the bmw range.
Still prefer Mercedes over BMW,
What is it with BMW eating their big end bearings ?

Not any more.
Mercedes make some nice cars, but they're no BMW...
Bmw never been able to match Mercedes, on anything

Was thinking the exact same thing , the rear look tidy but there's just something about the front end that makes me wonder 🤔
@@rsg666 pretty sure that's not factory

Should get a Cla45s instead

Sorry, but those digital displays looks 2 generations old with the huge black bezels around them
BMW are better built on the interior but Mercedes sound awesome
Had a E Class and now have a S Class, I regret buying it everytime i drive it should have bought a BMW
mercs offer you the chance to solidify yourself as an old man and i think thats what isnt right about them - until ofc you are an old man
Yo my dad has Nissan GT-R it’s black

ASK DMO FOR A RIDE IN HIS e63s hehh :)))
Get my E63s on the channel

11:00 Sorry cal but everything about bmw is shit compared to merc 😂
You gotta stop with the faces in the thumbnail man 😩
///Calvin lol
M Power 💪
Not a fan of this Merc at all
What this particular one? Or the E class coupe in general?

Wats happening to the weeklys this was a dead video come on Calv u can do better
Yes amg are awesome cars 🤙
who thinks this looks like a ladies car?
Not me, see where hes coming from though but I think its cause its a soft top
Cars aren't for either women or men. They're for whoever can afford them 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I had a loud bird like that. I solved the problem by shooting it.
