Quick Intro.

Hello everyone - I've been lurking for a while now.. ever since I picked up my MBenz actually on 8/11 and i've decided to register so I can chime in and contribute whenever I can.

I drive a 2011 W204 Iridium Silver over Ash C300 with Sport Package, wood trim, Ipod integration, roof/trunk spoiler and 18" AMG wheels.

It was to late in the model year to order SPC option 315(dynamic handling) but I got a sweet deal regardless. Besides the speed sensitive steering and shift paddles i've got most of the Dynamic Handling Package with the agility suspension and twin 5 spoke 18" AMG wheels.

Well at least thats what I like to tell myself until I drive my brothers C300 with option 315 and it reminds how much fun i'm missing. It changes the overall feel of the C300, its like having two cars in one.. throttle inputs are sharper/quicker, steering is tighter and the suspension becomes tauter!

My next lease will include it for shore.


Cheers,

Welcome. Sounds like a nice ride. My next buy are 18" rims and updated lighting. But it will have to wait until I finish the honeydo list. (all glass shower renovation in the master bath and granite countertops in the kitchen

I'm actually considering that(X-pipe) the only thing is the car is a lease and I really don't want to get started down that slippery slope. Before you know it i'll be swapping out the springs for H&R coil-overs, sways and strut bar.. etc. I'd rather just enjoy the car the way it is for now.. a clean, comfortable but sporty daily driver. Besides I've got my e28 for that.
