The c350 is quicker by half a second or so than your previous 330i, correct? I would have held onto the driving feel of the bimmer! But that's just me. Young and not minding the bumpy ride.

I dont think they make any sts kits for our car as its a "direct action" shifter. I asked the same thing about a kit for my 230 which shares the same 6 speed tranny as your car. Every one said they didnt really exist.

No short shift kits for any MB as far as I know. How could you improve on perfection? (definitely joking on that one!)
