haha, sorry E, I just had to do it. you know how people on the board are, no pics = no proof. I believe you though, although I'm pretty sure my w203 uses Osram bulbs (b/c I saw them put them in at the dealership).
it was for purely scientific purposes Gary!
now this would be showing off, my new Royal F1 Alumninum Black Anodized Paddles:
Thanks man! It's funny how both the cars are pretty damn dirty, but in the dark, you can't see squat!
NP man, anytime... you know how I like MBWorld: mbworld > m3forum >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> e46fanatics

Sorry to hijack the thread, but has anyone done a W203 coupe vs. sedan comparison? Or C-coupe vs. E46?
Sedan bix are made by Bosch. Coupe (Euro-spec at least, who makes US-spec?) bix are made by Hella.
And yes, imo the sedan and E46 bix look identical in terms of performance, based on the pics.

IS THE M3 FASTER THAN THE C230 KOMPRESSOR?
Okay, sorry, just to get back to your topic real quickly, I can't remember if you went back to the stock 4300 bulbs on your C Class or not. Did you? Only reason I bring that up is just to make sure we're comparing apples to apples here (i.e. 4300 vs. 4300) and not 6000 vs. 4300.

I'm surprised you haven't started a thread with the title:
All-caps, just like the old days!...Damn, that's one trademark that didn't come back with the most recent aliases...LOL.

I went back to stock. those are matching stock bulbs that I watched BH Benz put in after I had complained how one bulb was more yellow than the other and they ****ed up hard on one repair... 6000k would have looked TOTALLY different, believe me.
both cars are running the stock 4300k bulbs.

haha, yeeeah. the all caps would have been a telltale sign. but the real thread would be "I THINK MY SUPERCHARGER HAS GONE BAD, I'M ONLY BEATING M3's BY THREE CARS" or "I'M BALLIN! MY CAR IS FASTER AND ILLER THAN A VEYRON JUST B/C IT'S AN MB" or "HOLLA AT CHA BOI! CHROME REPLICA'S ARE BALLER!" or "THE STEALER TOOK MY MONEY THEY SAID MY SUPERCHARGER IS FINE EVEN THOUGH MY CHROME DOOR HANDLES GAVE ME 1000HP AND I ONLY BEAT M5'S BY TWO CARS"
