'02 MB C240 6spd / '92 BMW 325i 5spd
New to the forum
Hey guys!! Whats up?? I was referred from the good people of DTMPower.net about this forum and I want to learn alot from you guys the same that I have learned from DTM.
Here's a little info about myself I'm 20 will turn 21 in Jan. I was born in Costa Rica "Pura Vida" if any Costa Ricans (Ticos) out there. I go to FIU for Computer Engineering and I'm a Senior Customer Service Rep. for Bank Of America Stored Value Cards. Enough about me now let me talk about my rides. I have a '92 BMW 325i 5spd blk w/ tan interior my proud and joy. I got the car in my sophomore year of high school. I was going to sell it but I cant. I love the car too dame much. So I'm going to mod performance wise little by little. I recent bought (3 weeks ago) a C240 6spd. black w/ black int. sport package. I love this car so much the ride is nice. Performance wise its a pretty week 6cylinder but its a luxury car. I can still use my 325 if I want to speed.
My future mods for the c240 will be to get some 19s, Bi-Xenon, Navi, CL grill, drop it a tad, and probably quad exhaust like the c55(correct me if I'm wrong). Its hard to find performance parts for the c240 huh??
I was wondering? Any of you guys in S. Florida or in FIU? Probably we can meet up.
I know the rules here. Like every car forum "Use the dame Search tool". LOL!!But like I said before I want to learn alot from you guys.
I'm going to shut up now.

pura vida !!
diay ma'e !!! It's about time another TICO shows up on this forum !!
PURA VIDA !!!
Bienvenido ! As you can tell by my ID and avatar, I'm a Saprissista,
so if you're a Liguista, just keep it to yourself, and we'll be Mercedes buddies on the basis of being a TUANIS TICO !
I've got a 1979 230G Wagen sitting in San Jose, and my cousin has an 2002 ML 350 and an 2003 E500.
Here in California, I've got a 2003 C320 SportCoupe, and 2004.5 C320 SportSedan.
I lived in Miami, close to FIU for 3 years, and very familiar with Pembroke Pines (tons of friends live there), Doral (where I worked, close to the Ferrari Boutique), Coral Gables (got my MBA at UM), SouthWest Miami (Corsica/Paradise Reef is where I lived), and finally Miami Beach (where the party is at).
Ever go to the Costa Rican restaurant DON PEPE to watch the SELE in WC qualifiers ? I was there for every game 2000-2002.
well PeRcY, I'm sure we'll be talking more MB stuff, since that's what this forum is about. There are plenty of MB people to meet in South Florida... you'll see them on these forums soon enough... Congratulations on your new C240.

Hey you two, you are not the only ticos here...
I am (or at least used to be one) except that I became I naturalized U.S. Citizen in 1997. I live in Connecticut. In fact, my parents are visiting us now from Costa Rica.
By the way, that Olympic "Sele" sucked big time. Lost against Iraq!
Take care,

'02 MB C240 6spd / '92 BMW 325i 5spd
Sorry that I took too long to reply too much school and work.
Thank you for every one giving me a warm welcome to the forum. You dont see that in every forum now a days.
I just noticed about 2 weeks ago forgot to mention on my first post that I have a fridge in the center console!!! When the a/c is on its cold in there. That's so kool!!! Too bad that I cant fit Coronas in there
I have one question. My car came w/ the Motorola TimePort but I figured a TimePort is an old phone that came out about 4-5 years ago. Shouldn't I have the V60?? I wanted to know if I can change the connector to adapt for the new Motorola V80 (should be getting it in 2 months hopefully) which is the same connector as the V600.
The bimmer is my pride and joy it has 166k miles on it and no engine problems yet (except for the water pump) and still running on stock clutch. I drive the living crap in that car .
About the Caesar frames what happened was that I have a MB emblem but I had no MB frame. So I had an extra one I used it for the mean time.
Que mae!! . You know its all about El Monstro :p
I heard about Don Pepe but I never been able to go
. Someday. "La Sele" kind of sux this year but I still have my pride para mi Patria.
