***Another AWESOME DAY in Munich*** - 04-24-2008, 06:32 AM

Was in Munich yesterday meeting a guy from another forum. Here are some cars I saw. It as a good day (again).


Spotted four (4) Audi RS4's that day. Here they are...
Audi RS4 1


Audi RS4 2


Audi RS4 3


Audi RS4 4 - the best one! Photographed it right infront of the cops! Wimmer is a badass! Wimmer has no fear of the law! Bring it on!


Aston Martin Lagonda - wow, you don't see that everyday!








Ford Mustang GT




Porsche 996 Turbo - with hot MILFish lady owner.





Maserati GT



Mercedes-Benz S-Class from Switzerland and new Porsche Cayenne infront of the Munich Opera House.




Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG




VW Passat & BMW 7-Series Taxi


BMW 1-Series Convertible



Porsche Cayenne Turbo


Jaguar XKR


MB S-Classes





Volkswagen Phaeton


Mercedes-Benz CLS & Medic Smart



Lancia Thesis


Classic Mercedes-Benz W123 "Taxi"




Audi S5


I thought this was cool. In the foreground a private E-Class while behind it the taxi spec version.


BMW M3 Convertible


Audi S8



Mercedes W210 E55 AMG & Porsche


Various Police Cars!

Mercedes-Benz V-Class Police Van


BMW 3er Touring Polizei


Another BMW 3er Touring Polizei


Volkswagen Caravelle Polizei


BMW 3er Touring & Volkswagen Caravelle Polizei


BMW E39 5er


Audi A4 & BMW 3er Polizei




Last but not least, who PWNS the German taxi market? Say it, say the name!







It was another good day!

Great pics as always. That Aston Martin Lagonda is still a fascinating car. I remember someone on Dynasty used to drive one. Never seen on in person. I was starting to think they didn't really exists.

Re: ***Another AWESOME DAY in Munich*** - 04-24-2008, 07:01 AM

Awesome day, Christian!! But SORRY - it's just a "normal" ML with AMG Sportpackage - can not find the AMG quad exhaust system. But great photos, anyway. Just wanted to correct that. And the W210 55 AMG - is it really one??!! I thought it also has a visible exhaust?!

I am 100% positive this is an ML63 AMG. The engine even sounded like a more aggressive V8 than the ML500 could ever be. Notice the little writing at the back which I believe is some sort of body kit tuner / service.

Well - then I say, you're right!! You can also order the E 63 AMG without the quad exhaust to make it more decent - maybe the guy wanted to get a monster with more understatement!! Looks still agressive.

At first I thought this was some suped up ML when I saw the rear, but when I heard the engine sound it just "felt and sounded like a pure AMG". I might be wrong of course, but from what I heard and felt, it was an AMG.

Christian has done it again, lots of car sightings + babe, and you managed to avoid all those police cars, well done.

I want to ask, how basic are those taxi spec E-class, are they even more basic than the Classic version? How much do they cost compare to the normal spec E?

There are special "Taxi" packages available. In my opinion they are comparable to every version of the E-Class (Classic, Elegance and Avantgarde)!

But I don't know what these Taxi packages will cost…

Thanks!

Well before we venture in depth about the taxis, it has to be mentioned that MB offers three distinctive trim options for the C- and E-Classes:

Classic - base trim

Elegance - luxury trim

Avantgarde - luxury / sport trim

All of these trims are available to both private consumers and commercial consumers. That means a taxi company could buy an E200 CDI Avantgarde for example.

Generally though the most common E-Class taxi is a Classic trim variant. They generally come standard with automatic transmission and the necessary taxi equipment (fare counter etc.). Think of it as a watered down Elegance trim variant without the chrome on the exterior mainly.

Check out the link Ree posted!
