Honestly I do, even tho the C55 has so much attention, i just like the comfort of driving the coupe.

but. I'm actually trading in the AMG for a "go cart" soon. if you know what I mean.

noo, Cooper JCW. no lotus, not a fan of one.

I have 20% tints all around, front strip, sunroof, etc.
The headlights are OEM Facelift W209 CLK bi-xenons, i'm not a fan of aftermarket projectors!

The M3 is a little slower than the C63 on a straight run, but def WAY more fun of a car than a C63, it handles better, better ride quality, better BUILD quality, looks better!

and yes, get new wheels!

hey mine is custom, facelift W209 CLK headlights, custom painted with a custom touch reflective glass.

anyways, i've been on the m3 forums more often, took the AMG out yesterday since it was nice, installed my Bilstein Yellow HDs, and wanted to be obnoxious in the city streets of SoHo Manhattan.

nice... all exciting options... i say go for the smaller cars for better handling. the clk63 won't be much of a change from the 55. however, you will be missed on the forum... no matter what you get... keep this thread alive!
