Drive dot com mentions how these "A" models can turn with confidence nowadays...

better than the 1st ones that could fall over in a cone-slalom.

Standard is high now.

Money savings through continued servicing through a MB specialist rather than through a dealership.

  • 1 month later...

You'd take a FWD, flappy paddle little Merc over a manual RWD BMW... Says it all eh

what drugs are you on?

the a45 is AWD. will be as quick, if not quicker than the C63.

BMW can shove that in their ass hole..

we have a few of the A-class's at work now, both A250 With amg kits..I work at Mercedes Benz Head office.

I can wait to get one of these :devil:

the price they are coming out with is pretty competitive compared to the market surroundings!

Looks count too. What BMW did you have?

a few. 93 320. 96 330, 94 530, 95 540.

all cheap as hell because they where shit.

bought the 540 of a "gangster" london geezer and it had 20 inch chrome rims lawl.

any prices available yet aaron?

we do.. but not publically..

it will be in direct competition with the BMW VW etc.. so in that sort of area, which has been publically told

this was what go auto news put out, and it is a pretty good ball park

PRICING:

A180 BlueEffi ciency 1.6 petrol (a) $35,600

A200 BlueEffi ciency 1.6 petrol (a) $40,900

A200 CDI BlueEffi ciency 1.8 diesel (a) $40,900

A250 Sport 2.0 petrol (a) $49,900

A45 we dont know what pricing is, but is reletively cheaper than the M series verion of the BMW, and 4wd so substantially fast too! im hanging to drive it..

ill get a pic of the sports one parked at work..

and the A250 is fkn quick as it is.

even entry level that is cheap......

so they all front wheel drive apart from amg version?

AWD will be a fwd based and very FWD bias I bet...

And you've owned the wrong ones lol. Need E39 5 series / E36 M3 / EVO or later E46. Those are the good stuff..

there is no such thing as a good bmw. sooner or later it will rape you and or your wallet.

ill stick to jap crap lol.

everything about this car is gay...EVERYTHING....it looks like a hyundai with a mercedes badge and lights on the front..

and how is 35.000 competitive when i can get an i30 that will do most everything this shitbox can do for under 20k....

Mercedes should stay the hell out of the small car market and stick to building the hippy killing luxo barges they are famous for, this is a disgrace..

leave the small gay cars to>>

this thread dissapoints me Paul...you should go sit in the corner and think about what you have done :domokun:

Nah they are based on the 4matic system which is actually very rwd based, or so it feels in the bigger cars..

Artz you can't talk. Lol

This is the 250 at work, looks better in person IMO

But my thoughts are biased because I work there

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
