I don't understand the need people have to try to impress people with something they clearly do not have. It's like the people that slap on ///AMG badges on a non-AMG car. Example: So you just bought your C240, 230, 320, or whatever non AMG model, and the first mod you do to impress your friends and the general public is to put on an ///AMG badge on the trunk lid. Think about what you're doing. To the people you are trying to impress (general public/friends), most have no idea what AMG is, or what it stands for. So you fail there. And then to the people who actually know what an AMG car is and looks like, you fail again, because we can see from 10 miles away and thru thick fog that your car is not an AMG car. So why bother?

I personally have no concerns telling people I drive a 4-cyl C230. No insecurities here. Instead I like to impress people a different way...by telling them how good my fuel economy is in this car.

I love my C230. My friends have been continually impressed by the C230K, all for different reasons. Some love the gauges at night, some love the supercharger whine (even if the car isn't fast), some love the high-speed stability - all are universally impressed by fuel economy. My car is reliable, comfortable, and has adequate power for all situations. I'm not ashamed of it at all. Now if it were a C240....

Wow this thread has been interesting and dramatic. Props to Karo haha. You should consider a future in law enforcement!

Thanks, Matt helped as well.

I was able to spot the C230 brakes and I don't know how I found more picture that weren't posted

Matt was able to confirm my findings and very helpful info (basically the judge )


I had a feeling it was that's why I posted the brake question but didn't want to jump the gun. You know how many times at Fox I said "Hey I found malicious activity look and made a big deal but it was a normal script that was importing and transferring data" loool

It's my Job BLT you remember what I use to do for a living right?

At this point, this guy has ZERO credibility. IMO, the only way he'll be able to redeem himself is to take a pic of himself, sitting in the trunk of the C350 (yes I can tell from the open trunk) holding a poster with his MBW UserID.

to the OP, you must be REALLY insecure if you had to lie about upgrading your C230 to a C350 to a bunch of strangers on the Internet.

and congratulations! you're the first thread in March to reach the esteemed ranks of "THE Official OWNAGE Page": https://mbworld.org/forums/3977577-post666.html

I was really unsure if this was the right thing to do when talking to Karo about it. But they just don't mess up on something like brakes. He tried to avoid incriminating photos but overlooked the brakes.. a fail on his part. LOL @ Phil's link to his post number 666.

WANT MOAR PICS OF C350!

Haha yes I do remember. Looks like you're still living up to it! (:

I cant believe this is a thread between a comparison between a C230 and C350?
I mean seriously?

W203E35

This thread isn't a comparison. This thread is about a member stating that he traded his C230 6MT for a C350 6MT and then took it to an auto cross. Which by first glance seems that the member is legit but the brakes gave it away. Finding this insulting to other members and myself I had to take action. That action is on page 2 of the tread which I found more pictures (don't ask me how) and was able to prove that indeed both cars are the same. I recieved help from 2 other members which one assisted in determining and examining the evidence and the other who want to stay anonymous helped as well which I can't give details because his cover will be blown.

Team KMD solved this puzzle.

LILBENZ230

Can we get some pics of his C230 and C350 together so his name can be cleared?

e1000

pics of the C230 and C350 with him sitting inside the trunk of the C350.

This would be win.

W203E35

Don't forget he has to hold a sign that says his member name

Wow...I drive a 2002 Coupe, the bottom of the ranks for that model year...and proud of it Who lies about these things?? I mean really...you disgrace the company of Adidas by being on this forum.

nrg_mike

Well in all fairness, the 2002 had the M111 and the M271. If you have the M111 then more points go to you! lol

LILBENZ230

2003 was the first year of the M271.. Where do you see that 2002s had the 271?

M271 is better.

nrg_mike

There were small batches that had the 1.8 (if i remember correctly, 2002.7+) and others that had the 2.3L engine (earlier 2002 manufacturing). Personally I liked the 2.3

LILBENZ230

Not sure why they kept making the cars slower. The M271 was slower than the M111 cars and the M272 2.5s were slower than the M271s.. At least the M271 was more efficient.

nrg_mike

Lol I'm still trying to figure out what I can do with my M112! lol

+1. I am very proud of my C230K sport sedan. I own a car from one of the world's leading car manufacturers. It has an excellent blend of power, fuel economy, handling, and driving fun. It is also a head-turner in the looks department.

ROLLNNN

Just saw this thread, thanks for pointing it out Karo.. this is frickin hilarious...
