I appreciate the guidance and education I received here on this forum, prior to my purchase. It made me aware of what I should be looking for and topics to research prior to my purchase. I know a lot of guys here have much more elaborate options, but this one suits me and exceeds my needs and expectations. Very happy with this purchase!
I hope to get a sunny day sometime and take better pictures. For that matter, I hope to understand how to use my digital SLR camera and take better pictures! Here are a few from this morning:
EDIT: also please watch out for drivers... I've been driving for 5 years with no accidents ever. A month after getting my MB, I was rear-ended at a traffic light. Nothing major at all thankfully, but it was just very weird timing.
Bought the one from the friend? If you're happy with the deal, that's what matters.
Yes- long story short, I took the advice from a previous thread and looked into other dealerships and the Cargurus search for my area. I checked out two other 2016 C300's that met my needs and after a lot of back and forth with the dealers, they wouldn't do good enough on the numbers for the car plus the numbers on my trade. I walked both times. I ended up going back to my friend at his dealership and the numbers were good for me. Plus, I know a lot of guys here love the thrill of the chase and will search out a 200 mile radius. I'm not one of those guys and thus, I worked the deal to where I'm happy and spending tons of time. He beat everyone in my area for sure, gave me literally thousands better on my trade, plus some extra accessories and things I really wanted were made part of the deal.

Thanks! I need to learn more about what a Dinan PB Tune involves. I didn't see anything come up on a google search with those terms. Just BMW related upgrades. I read Mike5215's Burmester audio blog. Is the Dinan PB mod something like a new amp/processor combo?
Honestly, I'm going into my new c300 after driving a 12 year old SUV with a stock cassette deck. Believe me when I tell you that the Burmester sound system is shockingly good to these ears!!
look at Dinan's website under Dinantronics Sport and you will find the MB piggy back units. So far they are working well and a nice boost for the price of entry . They make great stuff for BMW so you can expect the same on the MB line I would think as well.. Its a quick 5 min install plug and play. Nice car BTW, good color choice
