Acercarte is the maquina by antonomasia.solo to, its form, its seat, his tapicería.Una inside single time the right foot knows what us depara futuro.La worthy acceleration is something spectacular of formulates one of the highway, and we do not say anything of its stability, it seems that it moved by rails like the train, and when there is to stop the brakes almost respond with total naturalness to berlina nobody velocidad.Una within reach of few and in the dreams of others muchos.La MAQUINA OF MERCEDES.Si sometimes touched the lottery to me or it appeared to me the genius of lampara this would be my first desire and ademas with s500 CDI the cost is...

babblefish!

If there was one, even if an obscure tiny company had ever modified one, I'm sure google would come up with more results

Audi, BMW and Mercedes all do have a 4.0 V8 Diesel in their flagships, VW stuck a 5.0 V10 Diesel in the Phaeton and the Touareg

I don't doubt your observation, it must have been a smartarse rebadging job

I hate rebadge jobs. Especially spas who put Golf GTi badges on the back of their standard base Golfs. I've even seen Mtech badges on Corsas

Same here

Like debadge jobs though...

fletch

I especially hate those spanners who put the M3 badge on their 318s. Who are they tryin to fool! Like anyone who knows anything about cars will tell instantly that it ain't an M3. Debadge jobs are classy...

jozi

I hate it when i see a E46 with M badge, esspecially if its a saloon.
I can see its not a genuine M3 cause its missing a fw exhausts and grilles (same with fake M5's) but i dont know how to distinguish a E36 M3 from a normal 3 series with badges.

No way! I'd say it must look huge? What was it like in real life?
