All 4 wheels buckled need opinion on new wheels
So I recently bought an E class and I am having bad vibrations on the highway and after several wheel alignment and balancing it’s not working. In the end It happened to be that all four wheels were buckled.
The wheels that came with the car is not OEM 20inch which I did not know about until now, and I got multiple quotes to fix these buckled wheel would cost me around 1k AUD. Now if it was OEM wheels I would just go and fixed them right away, the problem is they are not OEM and the price for a full new set that looks the same is literally 1.5k. I looked around and seen that OEM 20inche wheel cost around at least 6k which I am not willing to spend..
Now the question is, will it be better to buy new sets of rims or the old ones would work the same after getting them fixed.

Dumb stuff with loaner
Don’t hate on me I just want to know what could happen. My dad took his car to get serviced and we got a eqe loaner car. Last night I snuck out with the car and me and my friends were just testing it out on the empty highway. I did speed pretty bad, around 120ish but it was only once, and I did it with no one around. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the car, no lights, drives the same and I recharged to 80%. Will the car snitch to the dealership? Online it doesn’t say anything but I wanna know.

My E350 passenger window won’t go up
Does anyone know what could be the problem? My friend lowered the window and then it wouldn’t go back up. The window made a grinding noise when we tried to lower it again with the switch. We had to manual close the window with our hands.
Someone told me it might be my window regulator. Does anyone have any idea?

2013 ML 350 given to us
A family member gave us their paid off 2013 ML 350 with 90,000 miles on it. They bought it new and it has been well maintained and doesn’t seem to have any issues. We have never owned a Mercedes and are a bit concerned about reliability and big repairs coming up. We have some money set aside for repairs but wondering if we should use that for something newer with less miles.
What are your thoughts on this car? What repairs can we be expecting coming up? Is it worth keeping for a bit or is it best to trade it in?

1982 200 diesel 68,000km, if I import this to the US can it be maintained?
Have a chance to buy a 1982 Mercedes 200 diesel from Europe with 68k km on it. If I import this into the US, can a Mercedes specialist fix it and repair it when needed? Are parts hard to get or will I have to order them from Europe? It won't be a daily driver, but I'm not a mechanic and don't have time to wrench it myself.

Stop/Start Traffic assist on Active distance assist DISTRONIC £13 subscription?
Hi guys, I’m looking at subscribing to the active distance Distronic but I have a simple question to which I can’t find an answer anywhere. . . Can the subscription version of this bring the vehicle to a complete stop in traffic and pull off again if the vehicle ahead moves within about 30seconds? Specifically talking about a 2025 CLA 200.

What’s wrong with the CLA
Hey guys so I really don’t know much about cars in general and I’ve seen negative comments about the CLA 250. Can you guys explain why? I want to get a new car and the CLA has caught my attention however I’ve only see bad things about it. If you wouldn’t recommend it what model do you think I should try?

Hybrid e300
I have a 2014 hybrid e300 and I can’t drive so was wondering if anyone knew how I could fix it. I attached the errors I get but I can put it into drive but it won’t actually go and if I try the accelerator then it throws out the error and puts it back into neutral.

Anything I should know about the M274 engine?
I maintain all my vehicles. Currently have a 2015 C300 4matic. I'm curious as to what I should know about theses cars overall? So far I've had the timing components and both CV axles changed around 79k miles. At 100k I had to change the right (exhaust?) camshaft and cam gear plus all the bits that go with that. Oil changes every 8k miles with M1 0w40. Next up is a transmission flush in May. I tow, at max an aluminum trailer with a motorcycles and it does well. No problems since I did the cam over a year ago. Oil analysis once a year. No changes so far. Anything else I'm missing or should look at to keep this engine running strong or are they generally pretty reliable if you take care of them? Currently 130k miles.

How is ownership of an AMG C 43?
I recently found a 2021 AMG C 43 for sale. No accidents, one owner, and good service history. I was wondering how good they hold up more long term though and if I should expect major issues. Would you recommend one?

Coolant leak on my 2014 ML350

Any advice on a <10k mileage 2019 e450 coupe?
About to pull the trigger on a 2019 coupe, was driven less than 2k miles a year. Looks brand new. Just wondering if there’s anything I should be looking out for. It’s not certified, makes me a little anxious but looks to be a great deal for the condition, around 35k.

First Car - Need advice on Chrome Deletion
Hello, I recently bought my first Mercedes and want the full blacked out look. It’s a 2018 Mercedes e400 and I’m seeing a few different methods I can use. The part itself isn’t too expensive for an aftermarket piece, but I’m concerned about how much the labor may cost. It seems to not be the easiest part to switch (I would need to pay a body shop to do this for me).
Another option I have seen is Plastidip, but I’m not sure how this would look or how long it would last without needing a touch up. (Or if it even looks good after a touch up)
The last option I’ve discussed is getting it wrapped back but I’m not sure how much I should be paying for this, and if it would look good because I’ve seen it can de difficult due to weird angling.
I’m a first time car owner, please help point me in the most cost effective direction that will still look good. Thanks!
