I recently purchased this 2013 C350 coupe and have been very pleased. It’s the first (relatively) new car I’ve bought and I’m super proud of her. I had been searching for a new car for quite a while (always dreaming like most of y’all on here I’d assume) and I was trying to pick between the 328i, 335i, C350, A4, A5, is350, and the new Mustang GT. I happened to come across this car one day when my mom was getting her GLK serviced and I fell in love.
Check boxes when I was searching:
1. Affordable payments/insurance (The 335i and Mustang were out)
2. Fun to drive
3. Smile inducing (335i, C350, A5 and Mustang)
4. Nice interior (C350 is the nicest, IMO, followed by the Audis)
5. Preferably German (Because engineering)
Initial impressions:
1. If I were to describe the car in two words: Solid, Capable. The build quality and engineering in the car are top notch, and the engine has enough power to do whatever you need to do as a DD (as well as put a smile on your face when you have an open road.)
2. The three-tone interior on this car is beautiful, and to be honest, I may not have pulled the trigger if the interior was different. I really wanted the brown wood and light-colored seats in whatever I got.
3. The car has a great sound in the cabin.
4. Paddles are a bit slow, but they’re still fun (this is no M4 or C63)
The only mod I’ve done is plasti-dipping the rims. In the future I plan on buying 19” rims, upgrading the ECU, intake, and exhaust (warranty willing). I’ll probably also plasti-dip the grille this Thanksgiving break.
The pictures attached are taken by Jerry Moreno. One day I had cleaned my car and the day was really nice so I went to go take pictures. As I was doing that, a car pulled up and a guy hopped out with a DSLR camera and offered to take some pictures for me. I am very thankful he showed up, because the pictures turned out great.

A Mustang? Had to give ya a hard time on that one, not because thier bad cars or atleast I don't know enough about them to say they are. But i got a good laugh when i read your potential buys; Audi, BMW, Mercedes......MUSTANG! wtf?..lol
Anyways, I'm glad you could come to your senses and decide on the best of em. I myself have had the pleasure of owning a few Mercedes now since becoming a loyal life long mercedes owner. With my non-Mercedes cars in the past Ive found there cool for the first 6 months and the new car excitment dwindles. But as you are/will find with your Mercedes, the excitement never dies. They truly are amazing cars, welcome to the Fam!

Thank you! I knew I was going to catch some flak over that! The new-gen Mustang is a contender, though. They're solid cars, but they're in a different class than the other cars I was considering. I decided that the Benz was the way to go after sitting in it and feeling its quality.
Just got some new shoes for my Coupe, absolutely loving this car. Thankfully managed to reset the TCU to adapt the gear shifts to suit the 19s.
Going to do a few more things, debadge (blueefficiency and C180) and plastidip the rear diffuser and grey parts on grill with matte black. Still undecided on a rear boot lip.
Puting the final touch on the girlfriends C250 quad tip conversion; Magnaflow in mid muffler box then straight to tips. I was a little sceptical at first but it turned out sounding great. Has a deep growl to it now.

Looks great! Take a video clip of you can, would be great to hear.
Wraped my chrom trim last weekend. Night Package Look.
I think it looks amazing.
Damn that does look super sharp! Thanks again for the tail light tint recommendation! I've had lots of compliments, it looks OEM in person unless you look really close.
