Supercars & Imports : Bangalore

Nice SL55...looks like it's baking in the sun.

v1p3r · 10th April 2007, 20:31

I think it's the same one SL600BENZ was talking about.

S600BENZ · 10th April 2007, 21:06

Yes it is the same one that I sold in Bangalore.

Why would an SL 600 have an SL 55 badge??? I'm not understanding this one!!! I love the A-class for India... anyone know any for sale???

v1p3r · 11th April 2007, 01:28

SL600BENZ is the ID of a forum member. And there are a lot of SL55s with SL500 badging. Helps reduce import duties.

liv2drv · 12th April 2007, 01:05

ahh... i get it! Sorry about that! Anyway, i'm sure all the sl55's that come in with the 500 badge are changed back as they drive out of customs. Because i know half the sl55's in Delhi, are SL 350's and a few are sl 500's!

Spotted a BMW 3 series in Bangalore on the ORR, near Marathalli. Looks like its already taken a small knock from behind.

v1p3r · 13th April 2007, 14:55

Well, now they're just ghar ki murgi type cars. Not supercars, not imports!

Yeah.

Anyday the ol' 3 series (320i ?) looked way better. The tail-lights look so

If i had the money I'd rather skip this and settle for somethin else.

benbsb29 · 13th April 2007, 15:41

I agree with you Aditya... the older 3 series looked much better, and had a definite sense of character about them. The newer ones seem to be lost on their identity itself, save the fact that they come from the BMW lineage.

i love the new 3 series...see it in different colors and rims, ur views will change.

torqueunlimited · 15th April 2007, 10:31

Yeah, the new 3 series is pretty good. I like it. But when the new C comes and they're put side by side, which looks better might be easier to decide!

Spotted a red 350Z on Church Street. Unregistred I think. Good to note that the driver was putting the vehicle to good use unlike most such cars.

v1p3r · 18th April 2007, 18:06

Well, I saw the same 350Z on Brigade Rd last night, around 8 pm. Nice car.
