wheels: love it
deck spoiler: love it
interior: love it
renntech stickers: not a chance

make it subtle, replace the kompressor trunk emblem with a renntech one. let the car do the talking

Vince,
do you have any full side view shots of the C230 Coupe?

Vince, thanks so much for posting the photos. I'm calling Renntech tomorrow - I want that shifter and boot! They look perfect. Interior door handles in brushed aluminum look really nice as well. Too bad they didn't do the seating in custom leather - it would be interesting to see what could be done.

BTW: how do you like ofoto? I'm looking at alternatives, since photopoint seems to be dead in the water.

Vince

Here are some video clips that i took of the car.

tommy, this is my first time using ofoto and i have never used anything else, therefore don't know if it's any good.

vince, the links don't seem to be working...
i'm clicking on the 3 coupe images.

awiner

Video links are not working....

Vince

fixed the problem. looks like tripod renamed the extentions, made them uppercase instead of lowercase.

Anyways, they should be working now.

sorry about that.

young

ah, works now. the one where the driver 'loses it' is kinda funny. thanks for sharing the vids, vince.

Vince

we were trying to do a doughnut, but one of the traction control features kicked in, even though ESP was turned off. lesson here: be careful, even pro's lose it.

Vince

KWiK,

here you go

here's what in it

Do you guys know how the airfilters look?....any info about them...just curious.

bagwell

sorry $40k for a C230 ???!!!!! I don't think so !!!!!!!!!!!!

and I'm sure the powertrain (and all other) warranty with MB is null and void !


get the 330i for $40k (WITH A WARRANTY !!!!)

greg230

3 series bmw.... dime a dozen, i can spit and hit one in my neighborhood

c230, already rare, made even more exclusive with a full set of renntech mods... love it minus all those stickers

greg

I agree they C230 is a rarely seen sight on the road.

BUT - there's about 5 or 6 of them on the lot at my local MB dealer...MB of Houston (north). These have been on the lot for a couple of weeks.

so they are available.

young

330s are rarer than 325s. but i can't tell the difference unless i look at the number on the back. that's bad, imo. that's sort of why i didn't want to get another bmw - sedan or coupe; not enough differentiation. now an M3, i know.

bagwell

true - the only reason I didn't get the 330i versus the C320 is:
my buddy has a '01 330i silver with sport pkg/xenon's (NICE)
my cousin has a '00 323i
my wife's friend has a '00 328i.

I wanted something different !!!!!

so I guess I know how you guys feel



I just wish MB would have come up with a better sport package for the sedan....at least put 17" wheels in the pkg (I put the C32 AMG wheels on my car).
