I wouldn't advise you to give up Mercedes addiction. Mercedes are great cars - if you know what to buy and if they have been taken care of. I am learning that BMW's can also be great cars if you know what to buy and IF they have been taken care of. The previous owner of my car responded to an email I sent to him. He is a good advertisement for BMW 7 series. He has been driving them for 23 years. He had a 1989 7 series, then my car, and he just bought a new "BWM 7 Series Active Hybrid." I didn't know what that was. So, I looked it up. It's a 7 series Hybrid with a turbo V8 putting out 455 horsepower and getting 27 mpg. Looks like an amazing car. But, its over $100K, so I think I'll wait till he trades it in. Donald H.
