so i decided to get the c43...
hi. i decided to get the c43 next week. i have 2 choices so its either going to be
or
one has 30000km the other has 36000km(18-22miles) and cost approx the same about 35000USD. i live in canada btw.i like the c36 front bumper better but i cant buy a c36 anymore...after reading about the dude that had a hairline crack in the head, its kinda scary to buy a car without warranty. im kinda dissapointed in the perfromance of the c43 tho. with 300hp on tap, one would think it will smoke a m3 but not according to some articles i've read. but still, its a close race and thats good enough for me. my rx7 will smoke both of them anyways but its not the same. im buying the c43 cause i cant get the c32 yet. so ya i think i will go with black. acutally i may get a silver one but most likely black and add the avant grill. a couple questions. is there a grill that has a big 3point star on it like the new MB? and where can i get the 18" 2pc amg monoblock wheels? i cant get the car untill after the first week of the new year so i want to get the parts first and as soon as i get the car i want to soup it up...well not really soup it up but just make it look a little better. sorry this is my first time buying a benz so excuse my 'lingo'. thanks.

nice choice!
it is heartbreaking that the C43 doesnt perform a lot better.
my feeling is that it isn't geared aggressively enough on the rear axle and the transmission doesnt shift fast enough.
if you compared the automatic M3 to the C43, there is NO contest there... the C43 wins hands down!

beautiful car
And what a nice color. Good choice. Although I am a big fan of silver, I love black cars just dont like to clean em anymore. I still have one black car and thats enough trouble. But you will enjoy it cause it's a bucket of fun! You dont need any mods... it looks great as it is.
