X3 and 2012 C coming soon
Checking in (pics)

Hi all:

It has been a while. I wanted to check in and share what I have been up to. We bought a 2012 C300 4matic in April and I wanted to share a couple pics. There are so many awesome inmprovements. In my opinion, the nav system is great. When you talk to it, it always understands. Nice. We won't be modifying this car though.

I also bought a BMW X3 for some light duty work. I did modify it a little. I couldn't leave it alone. I installed Eibachs, Cryo treated rotors and cermic pads at all four corners and 18" M package wheels. It handled quite well with the OE suspension and 17" wheels. The mods made it a bit better. I'm pretty impressed with it. Here are some pics:












The above photo was taken before any mods.

I hope everyone is well. I will be selling a few of my C300 parts soon.

Regards,

Bryan

Thanks man! I know a lot people don't care to look at my BMW, but I will always be an enthusiast and this is what I have now. It's actually an impressive vehicle. It doesn't drive like an SUV at all. It has 260hp, but the transmission is what makes it fun. As far as quality goes, I think our Mercedes is better. I'll share whatever I get next too.
