I know that this is a BMW forum and Mercedes are kind of the arch rivals of our beloved cars, but I can't shake the idea of picking up an old Merc to supplement my BMW. I love my 335i, as a daily driver I think it's almost perfect. But sometimes I wish I had something a bit more laid back. A while ago I drove a 1995 Mercedes SL500, and I loved it. The bank vault quality and lush naturally aspirated V8 just fill a role for me that my 335i doesn't come close to filling. Anyone here have experience with the R129 or any other Sacco era Benz product?

I love the old stuff. Had a 190E back in the early 2000’s. Great car and iconic look and feel (and smell).

Sadly there isn’t a thing they offer today that I would spend money on with their engine downsizing, and overcomplexity (powertrain and interior).

C63 Black series. Always loved them. I believe they were around 2007-2009 ish

This W124 300 CE has been on my Instagram feed recently. I remember when Car & Driver described it as feeling like it was made from “a single block of unobtainium” when they reviewed it. I wanted one in the worst way!! I would still love to have one!!

How about Mercedes-AMG ONE, not the best looking hypercar or old one, but I love the tech and BMW got nothing even close...

This is the only old Merc I'd find acceptable, and it's a restomod.

Currently own a 1995 E320 and a 1985 300 CD Turbodiesel. Love the old Benzes and both of them definitely feel indestructible (especially the 300CD). They definitely don't make them like they used to.

Have a very late R129 SL600. Love it. I think they are some of the best cars ever made.

500sec and E500 would be in my garage if I had more space
