history: i have been a bmw fan for quite some time ('02 M3, '06 330i sport 4-door, '09 328 i sport 2-door). i like to make changes to my cars that are subtle and only noted by a real enthusiast... the clean look if you will.


this is my current car... being replaced by the c coupe:





i look forward to being quite active on the mb forum and appreciate any and all input to my many future questions and posts... cheers!

Congrats

Nice colour combination, I'm sure we'll be seeing more of the 'whiter' white coupes around in time

Nice car! Are you going to get this car? Is that a reason you don’t want Advanced Agility Pkg? The steering feel little more tighter with this Pkg. Or the H&R spring will do the same thing?

~ as of today (paid deposit) a confirmation this is the car i'm getting...

everyone seems to like the ride height as is... i will have to get the car to determine if it's too high for my liking. the h&r springs will help with the sway (lower center of gravity) but not the steering feel.
i will keep ya posted.

thanks for your input... much apprecaited!

Hey Andrew C Coupe, it's REALLY funny I also had a 330i 2008 and changed it for a new C Coupe 2012...

andrew e coupe

~ just purchased my airline ticket and will be picking the car up in maryland on wednesday the 30th and driving back to ohio... with lots of blue painters tape on the nose, etc for added protection until i install the full clear bra... getting excited!!!

Congrats again, now it's official

As per comments on cavasotti's thread, I also agree that the ride height of the new C Class coupes with the AMG sport package is just about right and it offers all the excellent ride qualities of the basic non AMG set up as well and handling in sport mode is also excellent

andrew e coupe

~ only one week to go... and i will be picking up the new car. i'm getting really excited !!!

so far i have (ready for install):
~ full clear bra with rockers
~ 10mm h&r spacers (front & rear)
~ weathertech floor mats
~ factory trunk liner
~ dust-free brake pads (rear)
~ painted front side markers
~ scheduled window tint

pending: h&r springs & 20" vossen wheels

Your payments seems like a good deal to me. My car was 41k MSRP but bargained down to 36k and my payment is $530 with tax. This is with tier 2 credit and 6% tax on the full purchase price of the car.

Sounds great and the Vossen's will look awesome

I like the Vossens also, but definitely don't want to go to 20's for my C Coupe, pity they don't make more of their wheels in 19".

BTW why are you installing spacers ??? (I assume wheel spacers) I read alot of that from people in the U.S putting spacers on, here in Aust. they're totally illegal but I still don't see the point of pushing your wheels closer to the guard edges which could cause alot of obvious problems, you also lose alot of offset and width possibilities with larger rims

andrew e coupe

The spacers will only be used for the oem 18 double spoke amg wheels. If I get the vossen rims...the 18's will be soley my winter wheels.

Good check list. I am doing clear bra as well this weekend, will show you how it go.

I changed from 323i E90 to the C204. Boy, this car will surely knock your socks off!
