Yes, and it seems the C32's are becoming more rare than they used to be. That is why I was wanting to resurrect this old thread.

I've seen a few around and neglected to post it here for a while now.

Oh yeah, besides the C32 in CM, I just remembered that I saw a silver C32, with chrome stock wheels, tooling around Aliso Viejo the other morning. I hadn't seen that car in 6 or 7 months. It's good to know it is still around.

There’s at least one marauding around South Bay whose modifications are surreptitiously discrete.

Its owner is oftentimes impetuous. Off-highway encounters only, of course.

i see modded w203's and e46's all the time. More modded e46's then w203's. Maybe its because i work near UCI.

I saw a silver w203 with black rims with a chrome lip last week.

yeah there a lot more bmw enthusiasts then mercedes. Thats why the e46 has like a billion aftermarket parts for it compared to the small amount for the w203.

i see a lot of w203's not many modded though...unless we do our mini meets..lol.

There's a silver C 32 I've seen drive down the street leading to my house on Golden Lantern. I talked with the guy, but I think he's a part of MyMB.com

Funny. Have not looked at this thread for a long time. That was almost certainly me getting my air pump fixed. I had the black Flik Artics (polished lip) on the car at that time, but now I have the machine grey (no polished lip, just grey spokes) Flik Lexs on there. Still have the Artics. . . I just switch off when I get bored with one.
