2008 C63 AMG
Hey there guys!

I just wanted to introduce myself!

My name is Andy, and this past weekend I just picked up a 2008 C63 AMG from MB of Nashville!

I am ABSOLUTELY enjoying the car. It's nothing like my other car ('06 G35)!

This is my first splash into the MB world, but definitely not my last! I look forward to being apart of this community and talking with you guys!

I'd post some pictures up, but I don't really have any (I know, what a horrible intro thread ). One day after work I'll get it cleaned up and get some pictures!

It seems like a lot of us came from G35's. Mine was a 2005. It seemed like such a quick car at the time. Little did I know...

Thanks guys!

I do have one small question though!

I did pick up the car as a certified pre-owned car, and I've been noticing that when braking the brakes will tend to squeal. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.

Is this normal?

I figured the squealing has to do with outside temperatures (temperatures down here have been between mid 80's and low 90's since this past Saturday) mixed with heat created by braking. I may be wrong though.

Welcome, Andy!

My brakes often squeal. It doesn't bother me.

Obligatory pics or it didn't happen!

As for the brakes squeaking, could be 2 things.

1. Could be brake dust
2. Whenever the brakes were last replaced, they weren't bed-in properly
