Thank you ALL guys for your warm welcome! I really feel at home here

I'll post some additional info in the next days - currently the 340 is undergoing a major, full service. Well deserved, if I might say

I've had a 740 GLE 16 Valve (a Portuguese / Italian market speciality with the B204E, the 1986cc with twin cams and 136bhp). I must say that I find the 300's far more comfy than the old luxobarge 740, despite its "not-so-posh" market definition

No doubt for me: great car to cruise 200 miles, if needed to

I forgot to say welcome in my post so welcome to the forum

Yes they are brilliant for cruising I drove for 5 hours straight only stopping once for petrol in my old 360.

A very nice exemplar summum
