Happy New Year to you all.

I'm new here and also a new owner of a C55. Having owned the first 2 generations of the M3, it was hard to turn from the light side to the dark side (or is it vice versa?) :v But I negotiated an end of year deal that was irresistable!

So far, I'm very pleased with the car, except for the lack of xenon lights and navigation; but I'm planning to fix that real soon. I know about Steve of MBenzNL already

There seems to be lots of knowledgeable folks here, so I'm looking forward to learning lots about how to improve my new toy.

Nice, my preference was diamond black with xenons and nav, but the local dealers didn't have any!

Nicely done. Great couple of cars you've got there.

I'm also considering an A-Class for my wife.
