Re: Wanted: Brabus D6S (unbranded W212 E350)
It's a new day at school, but for some reason I thought all 265 ones had Adblue.

Re: Wanted: Brabus D6S (unbranded W212 E350)
For models with 231 horsepower, like mine, you'll want the Brabus ECO PowerXtra D6. For models with 265 horsepower, the D6S is the way to go. Those two things are not the same. Various pinouts, maps, and wiring. I also couldn't find the D6 version and eventually gave up trying. Meanwhile, I wish you ...

Re: The news is usually bad.
I'm 14.5k in, and so far, everything has gone smoothly (hopefully). A man who walked past us last week complimented the car's colour and said he thought it looked nice. Yes, I've read that Kia fixed this in the updated model, but I still find the gearbox to be too stingy with lower gears.

Re: Swapping W213 diesel for S213 petrol. Is that a bad plan?
I upgraded from my S211 E220d to a petrol S213 E200 when I retired. The car had almost no miles on it. I didn't think I was putting enough miles on the adblue to justify a diesel, and the adblue was a real pain. The 2019 S213 had a mere 15,000 miles on the odometer. Maybe a pre-MHEV with low mileage ...
