E220d picked up earlier this week. Paint work could do with a good wash and a polish, but I'm quite pleased with it.

So not sure if this has been done, but for this with AMG Merc's, who 'Hand Crafted' your engine?

I can’t remember the name but mine didn’t sound very German

Never quite been able to decipher the name on mine.

Mine was done by this chap or chapess

That reads as Joachim Schmidt to me. Maybe this man:

The VP of Sales and Marketing hand building engines? I imagine that name is like the German version of John Smith, so its probably another one

Mr Schmidt also came out of retirement just to hand-build Housey’s engine six years later!

Housey · 14 Apr 2021 at 19:02

It must be him, proper suited sort, that is who I would expect to work on my car.

Good investigation work.

Now that chap Neil Armstrong who built my Kettle, any ideas?

It puts his dealership grumbles into context now! Demanding chap

There's a massive thread on mbworld I saw with these. I'm sure I took a clear photo of mine on my C63 but I can't find it, so here's a zoomed in one from a larger engine photo. It's Marcel Somethingorother.

I think the guy that did mine is the cowboy of the outfit, if he couldnt stick the plaque on straight goodness knows whats the engine is built like. I think I would have preferred the retired VP of sales and marketing to build mine

How dare you!

w212 e250 reporting rear right tail light and rear right brake light warning but both appear to be fine?
I have seen the info about resoldering the resistors so thought that would need doing but doesn't seem like it
Any ideas?

Ordered a CLA AMG 35 Shooting Brake in January, originally meant to be an April delivery. Now they are saying there’s still no allocation and likely will be July before it’s allocated. Probably an August/September delivery. Bah!

It was between this and a BMW 320i M Sport Tourer so may see how long it’ll take for BMW to get me one of them.
