    You are correct. It is a 320 bumper with an added front lip splitter. The original bumper that was on the car originally is 430 AMG package bumper

    You know, I don’t wanna be this guy. Nowhere near having the accessibility that you have yet probably gonna be another 10 to 15 years before I restore my car. I hate when you guys do this to Beautiful Mercedes. It’s not a rice burner dude. And you may think that all of these modifications and these ground kits are doing justice, but really it’s putting stress on the car and it’s gonna fall apart because it wasn’t made to look like that.

    My 2015 cx5 makes noise from time to time .mechanic said you need to change transfer case and its bracket but I told him that the sound is coming from the rear.could it be rear differential instead .car has 172k miles and I never done transmission,differential,transfer case fluid change .sounds as if your hit a bump ,like a pulsation ..

    Great video, fantastic outcome! Would have loved to see more. I own a 2006 3.0tdi A8, best car I have ever had, currently on 275400 miles. This car eats miles. Hopefully, this time next year would have broken the 300k mile, keep with the service and it will serve you well, two services per year, problems, electronic handbrake malfunction twice, HMI wouldn't open, coolant tank leak, alternator went this year, xenon lights gone twice, battery replaced once.

    How are these as a daily driver? Don't want to break the bank owning one. Where I live these still cost a pretty penny specially if you want a convertible or one with sunroof etc. Is it good value or should I just go with a CVIC X

  • @ikajeiOFFICIAL
    @ikajeiOFFICIALАй бұрын

    This particular vehicle has been driven 40,000 miles since the video and has only had one issue: the starter replacement. Other than that, the car is being driven daily with no issues. The key is the initial condition of the vehicle. If it was beaten daily by the former owner, then there is a high possibility that the car will be problematic. Otherwise, W208s with 4.3 engines are known for their good reliability
