congrats bro! welcome to sgmerc!

izzit a b-turbo?

[Guest knighthunter]

wow so long the waiting time now. Mine was ready stock supposed to collect last friday but delay to Tue/Wed next week.

[Guest ratsgoh]

I got the B170, not worth paying 7-8k more for a mere 9% increase in HP. I heard installing a throttle booster will enhance the performance of the B170. Anyway, Sg how to drive fast?

Did anyone manage to find if it's possible to get the folding side mirror fitted anywhere?

Good choice! Congrats!! :welcome:

if you mean the sprint booster, nope, it does not improve the engine / output performance of the car in any way except a quicker throttle response.

[Guest knighthunter]

This strange thing about B class, only B170 priced reasonably.

B170-200 9k more 24HP more and extra paddle shift the rest are the same

B170-200T 22k more 85HP more, paddle shift, sunroof the rest are the same (no auto aircon, no leather seat, no rear aircon vent, no electric powered seat)

i think the folding side mirrors shoudl come as a standard. i mean, our parking lots are not THAT big so there's always tendency for some idiots to just walk past or try to squeeze through and hit the side mirrors.

hi everyone...im also a proud owner of b170...bought it sometime in nov08.

so far it has been a good n smooth ride but trying to add some mod to it :rockon: (like lowering the body, do up the interior, rims, etc) got a recommendation from a fren to MBM but hopefully someone can give me more recommendations to pimp up my drive. also what is the off-set for the rim? heard its quite tough to get a rim which can fit from those tyre shops. :laugh:

all suggestions will be much appreciated! :thumbsup:

I think sillywilly is correct, its the sprint booster I reckoned. Anyway, I should be installing it to minimise the sluggishness of the car, at least for a start. Anyway, I forgot to thank everyone for welcoming me into sgmerc. Thank you. Actually I was pretty upset with the non-motorised folding side mirror, I thought this should be a "Standard" Mercedes should set to distinguish itself from the rest. Well..

I did some search on the web and the B class overseas are equipped with auto side mirror and power seats... Sigh..

Other than these few negative apsects, I still think the B170 is very attractively priced.

[Guest ripclaw]

i think power seats are not so impt esp for driver cos usually doesnt change. its the side mirror that gets me. where to get this sprint booster ah ? and where to install ?

also heard side mirror folding is an aftmkt option. can any bro comment?

[Guest knighthunter]

Finally got my car yesterday. The wing mirror is not foldable at all, anything hit this mirror will chip off shatterred....bloody bad design.

For the sprint booster - U can call up MBM - 1 of our site sponsors.

[Guest ripclaw]

shoot, now i think we REALLY need the folding side mirror, maybe dun need auto, but at least must be foldable.....

[Guest 777kenny]

also what is the off-set for the rim? heard its quite tough to get a rim which can fit from those tyre shops. :laugh:

Offset is +52. Need a lot of effort to find nice aftermarket rims with this offset. But things should improve as W204 C-Class' rim offset is also +50-ish.

[Guest blackmercs]

Hi, nice ride u got there!!! end of :offtopic:

[Guest ratsgoh]

:punk1: WOW! Nice ride!!! :punk1:

I think we should all try to source for the electric folding side mirror.. I am sure if we all try, we should be able to find it somewhere.. Look at all those from Europe, all equipped, meaning there's potentially a market out there..

[Guest Cklasse]

I am sure you can change to folding mirror by changing the whole assembly but need to consider the wiring and switch part. There may be wiring already laid for all you know.

One place to check is Hup Soon Tat in Serangoon. Call them for pricing and stock. Tel 62947100

[Guest winz]

Hi, folding mirror + switch is available at Benzline. Price abt $1500 w/o installation.
