Mercedes S350 BlueTec driven through town in the rain

[tinipower]

@Laserfrankie du hättest den wirklich reinlassen können.. in der innenstadt gilt nix linke spur vor rechter spur..

[Laserfrankie]

@tinipower

Sorry, ich dachte, es sei die Autobahn gemeint. Also wenn ich es richtig sehe, HABE ich ihn reingelassen.

[tinipower]

@Laserfrankie naja, deine reaktion im video sagt alles + du hast hier in den comments diskutiert :)

[Laserfrankie]

@tinipower

Und was ist daran nun schlimm? Hast du dich noch nie über einen anderen Autofahrer ein bisschen aufgeregt?

[tinipower]

@Laserfrankie nein, weil du sagtest er hätte nicht das recht links rüber zu fahren

[Laserfrankie]

@tinipower

Ich habe bereits gesagt, dass ich dachte, es sei die Autobahn gemeint. Die meisten Kommentare beziehen sich auf die Autobahnfahrt.

[tinipower]

@Laserfrankie achso, kurios :)

[corkystorky]

@tinipower ti achso, kurie?

[tinipower]

@corkystorky hm?

[arneold]

I love this car it's so beautiful!

[BenTibone]

Hey du Nasenatmer, mach doch auch mal ein Video bei schönem Wetter

[bakuazeri]

Bauer oder einfach nur ein Trottel der sich mal ne S-Klasse von irgendwo geliehen hat? Man braucht den Zündschlüssel nicht 3 sec nach rechts drehen es genügt schon einmal ganz leicht bis zum anschlag zu drehen und dann zurück schnallen zulassen -.- sorry für die Kritik aber sowas tut mir im Herzen weh

[Laserfrankie]

@bakuazeri

Wir haben alle unsere Neurosen.

[TheHanswurst95]

Welche Stadt ist das???

[ervinski7]

what is the fuel consuption and it`s a diesel yeah ?

[orzamihai]

Sorry for q, but what job do you have :D

[Noleafunburned]

mercedes developed the flagship model with diesel engines so you can have the prettiest,economical sedan out there,this is what automobiles are about.

[biturboism]

Mixed road surfaces in Germany? Is that bad German humor?

[asdsdffasdf]

Now i know why S classe drivers in my country don't indicate when they turn :DDD because its sound is annoying

[friedchicken1981]

nice vid. is this soewhere in europe?

[hollybenz]

I have a 2007 S65 at my summer home in Greece and a 2011 S65 in the states. Best cars!!

[TheLOL4DUDE]

[700rfan]

hj\ey dude whats the gas mileage of the s350 petrol version?

[Laserfrankie]

@700rfan

Don't ask. It's high. I blinded it out.

[700rfan]

@Laserfrankie come on please say it i need to know

[Laserfrankie]

@700rfan

I really have no idea. I didn't check, while I had the car.

[KarlisKristaps]

@700rfan Ever heard of a thing called Google? ;)

[TheLOL4DUDE]

@700rfan About 10 - 11 miles with one liter of petrol i think..

[bluedrangon69]

@700rfan its 21 city/31 hwy

[Miden82]

Which town is this?

[MegaFerrarifreak]

i love the windscreen wiper action



[Shqiptarivertet]

Beautiful car, and amazing video as well. Thank you.

[kokolebra]

Great car, great video !!!

[IvyLeagueCars]

How powerful did this diesel feel? I am wondering if this S350 is the same one Benz just released here in the US for 2012. Not sure if I should go S550 (the 4.7tt v8) or with the S350. I am worried I may miss the V8 power, but the efficiency and cleanness of the diesel is great.

[Laserfrankie]

@IvyLeagueCars

It doesn't have the insane power of the petrol V8 but it is more than enough to be quick on the road. The keyword here is torque. You have lots of power at low revs to your disposal and in daily driving that is all that makes difference. I have no idea, if you get the same diesel version as here. Mercedes offers different versions of their 3.0 liter diesel, ranging from 231 to 265 HP.

[IvyLeagueCars]

@Laserfrankie One other question, you know with diesel trucks how you have to wait a couple minutes before you start it? While the glow plugs are lighting up? Does this car have to do that or can you just start it right up when its cold?

[Laserfrankie]

@IvyLeagueCars

Modern diesels start pre-heating the combustion chamber the moment you unlock the car. So when you entered and have buckled up, you can start the engine immediately. Only when it's very cold (way into freezing), you might have to wait 2 or 3 seconds. In general diesels need to be warmed up carefully, though. Don't rev them higher than 2000 rpm. until they have reached the optimum temperature.

[benzfen]

the only thing, that missing in this video was quiet relaxing music 

[joegolden481]

That one lane road looks like the one you find the dumped murder victims...what country do you live in? Great video. I just read where the 350 bluetec is coming here (US) this year..I still drive a w123 diesel. awesome cars!

[hadabenz]

@joegolden481 It's in Germany. You can definitely check his other videos cruising this Bluetec W221 on the Autobahn at top speed . Props to you for driving a W123 Diesel btw. We need more Merc diesel in the States indeed!

[waterbottle24full]

I enjoyed watching this Video, it was good but need a sexy bird in the car. Whats wrong with you? an S-Class on youtube without a hot chic? Now Merc needs Hybrid engines for cheaper road tax.

RATED 10/10

[muscleman351]

really nice car and video man.

[MrBilaal7861]

what a car, it feels so comfortable just by watching it

[somedudefromsuburb]

what was the point of this vid?

[Laserfrankie]

@somedudefromsuburb

It's a metaphore to show the meaning of life.

[bharatkumargupta]

@Laserfrankie is this a diesel model? its awesome, so silent inside

[TrAs1993]

@bharatkumargupta Yes it is

[bharatkumargupta]

@TrAs1993 s class is my dream car since 1999, dont know if i ll be able to own it someday

[TrAs1993]

@bharatkumargupta The dream to get one is the first step to get one, it isn´t impossible.

[ToyotaLC200]

@Laserfrankie 195 km/h? : )

[MrRevolution53]

@somedudefromsuburb To show he owns a mercedes ...!

[RadioIlluminaticom]

@somedudefromsuburb We are a Laserfrankie cult and enjoy meditating to his videos. It was a very dramatic video this time. 04:03 had lots of drama.

[waterbottle24full]

@somedudefromsuburb Quality Drive..

[TheSanderPander]

yes mister MB, in 04:03 dont raise your hands, be polite :P

[Laserfrankie]

@TheSanderPander

I thought I was being polite there. Could have cursed or honked, you know... In general I have something against people cutting me off in the rain, especially when they force me to brake.

[TonyDK10]

please make more videos with s class and be careful how you place the camera. Mercedes S350 BlueTec driven through town in the rain has the best view. make it long too. Thankyou.

[MegaPepe350]

thanks laserfrankie...i`m a big fan of s klass! very good films...all of them. what about fuel consumption? thx

[pobaslo]

what you are making at 0:31 is not good for your car, you will damage steering wheel. you must turning steering during moving a little bit and not when car is stoped.

[Laserfrankie]

@pobaslo

Firstly that's the first time I hear something like that. Maybe it was so in the 1970's. Seondly, that was a wet cobblestone road with almost no grip at all.

[derbigpr500]

@pobaslo Cut the crap, its not made of chocolate, nothing will happen. These cars go trough more torture than you and me can even imagine during the development to make sure nothing will happen when owners get the car. I'm sure Mercedes thought about making the steering mechanism strong enough not to get damaged if you turn the steering wheel while stationary....

[JET997u]

@pobaslo That is absolutely not right. As long as the engine is running, there is no harm done whatsoever by turning the steering wheel when the car is at a complete stop.

[bornwithanattitude]

@pobaslo are you serious?

[vrella44]

sehr schönes auto diese s klasse von mercedes, bestes auto

[chispaculpable343]

men its so anoying when you want to have a good braking distance and some idiot gets in that space aniway good driving and the s-class.... my gad what a car.

[BankzZ89]

i love driving in the rain! so calm and relaxing.

[MegaFerrarifreak]

@BankzZ89 i know rite

[geppegep]

@BankzZ89 not when its dark though! then you cant see shit and it looks so depressing

[wentsurfing]

Thanks for posting this, Laserfrankie. after the 126 and 140 chasis, there wasn't another S-Class Diesel that was brought into the states. A friend of mine sent me an email letting me know that they will be available here and I'm planning to purchase one when they do!

[fluffyman15]

wie groß ist der lautstärkenunterschied im innenraum im vergleich zur s-klasse? mal von stadt und landstraßengeschwindigkeiten ausgehend.

[Laserfrankie]

@fluffyman15

Das ist eine S-Klasse.

[fluffyman15]

@Laserfrankie

Verzeihung, ich meinte E-Klasse. War anscheinend mit den Gedanken woanders^^

[Laserfrankie]

@fluffyman15

Du kannst das ja vergleichen, ich habe ja E-Klasse-Videos hochgeladen. Grundsätzlich ist die S-Klasse natürlich erheblich leiser und gedämmter. Aber das ist nicht so sehr das Kriterium. Das Fahrempfinden ist ein komplett anderes. Die S-Klasse ist insgesamt souveräner. Sie verströmt viel mehr Ruhe und Gelassenheit und ist auch viel stabiler von der Straßenlage her. Die E-Klasse wird z.B. bei hohem Tempo etwas instabil, die S-Klasse liegt auch bei 250 stabil wie ein Brett.

[fluffyman15]

@Laserfrankie

OK das werde ich, in den Videos kommt die Lautstärke nur nie richtig zur Geltung deshalb Frage ich. Man hört zwar natürlich welches Fahrzeug lauter ist, aber nicht wie laut es denn wirklich ist da dies rein vom MIkrofon abhängt.

Danke aufjedenfall :)

[Laserfrankie]

@fluffyman15

Naja, wenn man das Ticken des Blinkers noch bei 250 hören kann, ist das schon sehr leise ;-) Und in diesen Regenvideos mit der S-Klasse ist es auch daran zu erkennen, wie klar und akzentuiert die Regentropfen auf die Frontscheibe und das Schiebedach auftreffen.

[fluffyman15]

@Laserfrankie

Mit 250 noch den Blinker hören können..fantastisch.

Mein Vater will sich eine E-Klasse Limousine holen (Bj. ende 2006 bis 2008), wir sind 2 probe gefahren aber erschreckenderweise war es sehr laut im Innenraum. Der Motor war nichtmal das lauteste (220CDI, also auch nicht wirklich leise) sondern die Wind- und Abrollgeräusche waren sehr präsent.

Ich kann völlig ohne zu übertreiben sagen das mein 4er Golf im Stadtverkehr deutlich leiser ist, ab 80 muss man dann schon

[fluffyman15]

@fluffyman15

seine Stimme erheblich heben, auf der Autobahn ist ein angenehmes Geräuschlevel eh undenkbar.

Es kann doch nicht sein dass das Auto so laut ist / ein 10 Jahre alter Golf in der Stadt leiser ist? Beide Autos hatten Schiebedächer, vielleicht lag es ja daran aber ich kann mir schwer vorstellen das 2 Autos bei 2 verschiedenen offiziellen Mercedes Händlern den selben Defekt haben?

[Laserfrankie]

@fluffyman15

Naja, es ist sehr schwer, das subjektiv einzuschätzen. Es hängt immer von der Art der Geräuschdämmung ab. Beispielsweise hat ein Ford Kuga sehr viel geringere Abrollgeräusche, als ein VW Tiguan und wirkt daher subjekiv leiser, auch wenn der Tiguan vielleicht messtechnisch genauso laut ist. Das subjektiv leiseste Auto in der Mittelklasse ist der Audi A6 aber die neuen E-Klasse-Benz und vor allem der neue 5er BMW haben gut aufgeholt.

[fluffyman15]

@Laserfrankie

OK Danke :)

[youtoobe169]

Can you post a video of a cold startup and show the engine idling for a bit?

[Laserfrankie]

@youtoobe169

That was a cold startup at the beginning of the video.

[youtoobe169]

@Laserfrankie Yes, but what I meant was popping open the hood and filming the engine running. It would be most appreciated! :)

[Laserfrankie]

@youtoobe169

Well, too late now. The car is brought back and I don't know when I will get another one.

[Dennis0163]

Very nice video's, keep on posting!

[derbigpr500]

Nice video.
