Replying to: carolinabob (Oct 18, 2009 9:17 am) You can use 89 octane (as I occasionally do) however there are two factors to bear in mind, according to the technical literature:   - lower fuel economy (I have not seen this) - reduced power / performance (I have not seen this)   If you want to save a few $$ at the pump, try using 89 every other fill-up in between the 93 grade. I don't believe you (or your car) will see a difference! Replies to this message: carolinabob (Oct 19, 2009 3:30 am)

Replying to: mm9351 (Oct 18, 2009 2:25 pm) Thanks, that's sort of what I planned to do. From what I have read, the only downside is a possible loss of some power.

#53 of 67 2010 E-Class vs BMW 5 series by sambo49 Oct 31, 2009 (5:33 pm)
My lease for a 2007 BMW 525xi is coming up shortly. I am interested in the 2011 5 series but meanwhile I have looked at the 2010-E class. I have mixed feelings about it. The front looks good, but the rear looks like a cut and paste job from a Hyundai. The interior looks classy, but the seats are low and just could not get a comfortable driving position like the 5 series. I tried a MB with leather seats, and felt it had better support than the vinyl seats. Does anyone out there share my opinion about the driver seating position?   The MB dealer is offering a very aggressive price. The MB may be a bit more refined, but the BMW 5 series offers a bettter balance between luxury, refinement and sportiness. I woud appreciate if current owners of the 2010 E class can share their observations after having driven it for a while.

Replying to: sambo49 (Oct 31, 2009 5:33 pm) I've had the the E350 4matic with sport package for 2 month now. Very happy with it. Very smooth and sporty. I highly recommend it. I also own a BMW x5, I think it has much softer steering than the X5 specially when maneuvering on low speeds. Replies to this message: sambo49 (Nov 09, 2009 10:07 am) jelmass (Nov 10, 2009 1:36 pm)

Replying to: jelmass (Nov 05, 2009 12:24 pm) jelmass - thank you for your reply. Do you find the driver seat position comfortable when driving over a couple of hours? Replies to this message: jelmass (Nov 10, 2009 1:36 pm)

Replying to: sambo49 (Oct 31, 2009 5:33 pm) I bought a E-Class coupe in Sept. Love the car with one exception. The Continental tires that came standard are very noisy. The noise level is really unacceptable for a MB. I offered to pay the difference between a set of Michelins and the Continentals....they said no. This is my fourth MB and I swear this noise just is not right. If you buy, take a long test drive.( I did not ) I sure would be interested if other 2010 E owners have experienced this.

Replying to: sambo49 (Nov 09, 2009 10:07 am) Yes driving seat very confortable. The interior is high end. you can get an extra option with massage seat. the interior has the quietness of a Lexus and the spirit of 1980's mercedes.
