i rcently fell in love with the Mercedes-Kompressor
whut do u guys think of that sleek beauty

Sweetie which one?

The Kompressor just is an engine.

I used to drive the E 200, recent modell, with the kompressor engine, but it´s not powerfull enough for this heavy car.

As I look at your nice picture I would recommend the SLK compressor, if u own some bucks or got a nice (sugar) daddy

Kompressor is not just an engine, then why would it be the name at the back of the car?
i kno the car ooh.

Mayb ill get me One,

OK, no prob, if u know better, just show me this car,

By the way: on the back of my current car u can read [b]iL [/b]so what is it

You're in love with the Mercedes Kompressor? Well, I am in love with the BMW Fuel Tank^TM, too!

Seun u got it[b] iL[/b] belongs to my BMW!

Anyway I am not in love with its fuel-tank,
but with the lady on the seat next to meo

im all for jaguar xk convertible.

ok oh, im not a car freak but i saw smthing like this, wiv kompressor on the back
And Seun dnt evn think ur funny.
I luv Mercedes cars whuteva,
But i saw this silver convertible, with a gurl nd her yunger sista in it, it was so tite

Sorry Gamine, but I had to say this: the Volkswagen Clutch is a beauty to behold!

keep laffn at me huh, as if u cnt see Kompressor on that car!

OK, finally we got it, thx for the pic u mean the Mercedes C- class Sport!
Little car for little girl

Watever, im a small gurl, but i dnt like small cars ok, Jeeps are more my thing

Ok Gamine,
no that I see your real pic it´s better u hide behind some black HUMMER windshield

Yeah , the Hummer is jst allrite, Gotta hide!!

OK,
now that u hid, can I pick u up with this one?

oh my that is soo nice!
yes yes yes!!!

Sorry baby, me too I was faking,
want to be honest with u now,
one of those would do it to
pick u up after your exam?

oh thats ok too
they r jst alrite!

The Mercedes are dead-unreliable. These Benzes don't have the engineering we've always thought they pack. The Kompressor is more like a blower that gets the exhaust out of the manifold a lot quicker to give power. Power is limited because it takes power to run the kompressor. In English, we call them superchargers. The concept is somehow like a compressor. The mechanical type is called a turbo charger. All you need to do is floor the pedal and wait for the boost. Mercedes in 2006 had the biggest recall in history besides Ford with its sensotronic braking system on its E Class. There is nothing cool about new Mercedes' because they fail. The most unreliable car by Consumer Report was the S Class. And if I'm corrent, the Mercedes family cleared the bottom for 2006 with the S Class being the worse. And people buy that for $180,000

A Bentley GT is just alright?

The Kompressor is just the engine technology gamine, just like the iVtec on the Hondas. There are various Benz models built with the Kompressor engine technology, besides I don't think you should contest this with a user located in Germany

I thot seun was funny at first jab

Ivvie give em a break, they got pedigree

ruescho what cars are those in the last pic please?

Well in front is the Bentley Continental GT that is based on the Volkswagen Phaeton u see in the back.

Me I only own the Phaeton, but at least I put it on shining Bentley wheels.

Concerning the Kompressor I have to add I was driving the Mercedes E-Class 200 Kompressor recently, its stunning, how much power this car can
developp out of small engine. But only as öong as u go alone, not faster than 200 km/h and not uphill.

Cannot compare it to the Bentley W 12 or the Phaeton that even with small 3.2 litre V6 engine is amazing!!!

The compressor is an air blower in mechanical engineering or a pump.  I prefer two or four extra cylinders instead of a blower.   Kompressor is not the technology, it's a method of spicing a weak powered engine without the cost of redesigning the entire projects.  It's termed an after-thought.  All cars except asians don't use turbo or super chargers.

Power in kompressor or super chargers are limite because it takes power to produce power.  And for that vehicle, you only get power at low end and low torque performance.

I grew up liking Mercedes. But the truth today is that Benzes are crap.

ruescho methinks german cars are extremely robust and I imagine the Phaeton would be a lovely drive, nice car!

ivvie thanks for enlightening us,

but thats a technology aint it?

I agree Benzs are not as great as we knew them, getting more aesthetic in design tho'

before reading dewdrop's post, i first looked at the pic and one came to my mind before anything else was a picture taken from a yoruba musical video. anyway, nice Benzes, dewunmi! wetin do ur mama plate number?

Thanx & LoL @ FBI477, She has the state plate on the back- the decorative one came with it and it never seemed important to change it- i think it looks good with it.

Im acutally looking to buy a smaller car (well i should say I've bought) the Honda City- I know it's just a City but i'm sure the maintenence would be much lower than the ML- that will just be for special occasions! LoL

dewunmi, your location changes so swiftly. sure the mercedes plate number is beautiful and the honda city really is a cheaper car to maintain since it would run on a daily basis (considering work from monday to friday) in terms of fuel consumption et al. for your ML, as a confirmed yoruba babe, the owambes will expect your arrival from an all black SUV Benz. meanwhile, make una dey pray for we wey still dey roll on leg-bus-okada to arrange at least '92 model 4 tires so that we sef go fit pose small 4 go-slow.



IBB

If you mean literally why my location changed from "Planet Earth" to "Lagos/Ibadan, Nigeria", my location had to change 'because I got banned from Nairaland for like 5 hours for not disclosing my location! It was in fact changed for me by Seun, I'm guessing.

The problem aside from the fact that driving the ML in Lagos day in and out to work at all hours makes me uncomfortable because it makes me somewhat of a target (True story: This okada guy ran into me (while parked), took off my mirror casing and wanted me to pay him!!) is the maintenance costs. As I ignore your sarcasm and type on, its apparent you are [b]not [/b]a Benz owner in Nigeria, if you were you would understand that maintaining a Honda even with daily use is much cheaper than a ML- servicing has never cost me less than 45k, 13k to replace a mirror casing, electrical problems left and right that need attention and the list goes on.

Again with the name calling, abeg- leave my government out of this,
Danke!

@ user86666

We call it a pump or blower in mechanical engineering

As for your technology, would you call an eight spoke wheel with a lock nut a kind of technology over a five spoke wheel?  Its the same thing.  Having a supercharger doesn't substitute a naturally aspirated engine.  My Volvo is turbocharged with 5 cylinders and it's high pressured with a 2.5 dia exhaust.  A few months later after my purchase of the Volvo, I bought an NA vehicle.  To benefit from the turbo, I have to build up pressure within the manifold to enable to turbo to spool.  It's nothing new, compressor pumps were introduced in the 70's and most cars had it.

You obviously are in that field and I aint gona argue
Technology is simply the application of science (see http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/technology), so something as basic as moving about when signal reception is low on your mobile fone hoping to catch better service is a technology (if the subject understands why)
So I think applying the science of the compressor to 'boost' performance in an engine is a technology.

@user86666


I completely agree with you if that was your perspective about the technological approach.  ,  but in terms of ground-breaking, its a no.
