Well, if you have an e46 m3 already, the car may be a little disappointing compared to the m3, but...

As long as you don't compare the two, I think you'll be VERY happy with it! Welcome to the board!

Exactly !

What made you jump ship from a e46 M3 to a C230k? Did you sell your M or are you keeping it a garage queen and using the C as a daily driver.

Got any pics of the E46?

You will love this car. I love mine. Welcome and post pics

Welcome to the forum. Despite the sexiness of the C230 SS, I would have gone 4matic for a winter car.

I did too. However, this is my only car, so the sexiness was the selling point for year round driving.

For the NY winters, you will likely need winter tires or a winter tire/wheel combo.

Happy driving.
