From the spy reports, that car should be just around the time the new M3 or M4 hits the market. 1 year away.

C55 AMG
i never said it was more powerful i just said the engine was much more responsive and the handling was better. Straight line speed is not the only thing that counts, i would rather have an excelent handling car that a car with only straight line speed. I never said i hated the car i just prefer the 330I and yes i will trade it in for a 330I

Then I will simply resell your lowly C55 and make a few more grand. Are you sure you are a taker?

where did you get them from? Autotrader. Ebay. cars.com
you must be in Europe and the resolution of the pics are terrible, like they have been scanned or copied many times.
At this point your credibility is really low with such pics. Even my 1.0 MP phone camera can better pics than that.
your story just does not add up... but I'm glad you are still responding since I find it amusing.
Please do trade it for a 330...
BTW: did you know that the M3 and C55 are NOT that far apart when it comes to handling. Do you research.

if all the guys that bought the new 330i can and willing to afford a higher end 4-door compact sport sedan I'm pretty sure they'll end up with either the S4 or the C55. I'm also pretty sure if you offer to trade the C55 for any guy that has the 330i that they would do it in a heart beat.
and yea, I was just about to say those pictures look like they were taken from some auction sites.

330i engine is more responsive than the C55 AMG's?
What the fck does that mean?
Were that because you were driving a manual ? Or was that because the fuel pedal is drive by wire which makes you feel the fcking fuel pedal is 'more responsive'? Why not show as real nice photos of your C55? Smart people here won't think that you have owned any cars at all?

I have only travelled to France and every in family talk about Italy, Spain, Germany, France...
I want to try something different and now i'm thinking to take a vacation to China.
When is a good time to travel?

CNTLAW, has your opinion of the 330i changed already?
"....I bought my C55 AMG W203 brand new in Aug 2004, now done 26,000km, and will keep it hopefully for another 2 years. I just bought a 330i E90 (non sport) Steptronic in Feb 2006 and have done ~600km already.
Even the 330i is still under breakin period, I am very impressed with its performance for day-to-day use. I guess the 330i 's 30kg/m torque at 2500rpm and 6 Speed Steptronic are major contributions to a smooth and confidence acceleration , which is no less than the C55 (5-Speed AMG Speedshift) for non-aggressive driving situations."
You have me worried now!!!

Ohh we have new trolls here today, I dont think any of this forum members hate BMW at all. we just hate trolls! I wouldnt buy a 330 cuz it sucks, NO I'm sure its a nice car, but I would wait for the new M3 or the AMG cuz after driving an M car or a AMG car you could never go back to just driving a car!

obviously a 330i manual can't even beat a c350 manual in acceleration times. a c350 will walk away on a 330i on roll on's all day long. 0-60 and 1/4 times too.

its ok for trolls to browse... But don't waste our time, c'mon guys grow up.
I do browse other forums :
g35 driver.com ( previously owned a G35 sedan)
freshalloy.com (same reason)
acura-cl.com (owned Acura-CL type S)
M5Board.com (funny to read their post about AMG)
clublexuscom (funny to read abour their new M and AMG killer the IS350)
but by all means I don't post anything.... I respect their opinions.

Nonetheless....if you are THAT unhappy with it, I think you would want to trade it in ASAP to retain as much of its value as possible.
