Complete Beginner!
In a nutshell I never even knew the C32 AMG existed until about 2 weeks ago but I had been searching for a sporty saloon type car (M3/RS4 sort of thing) for about a year. Then I drove past a dealer here in Spain and thought "Jesus, what is that?" I drove it and then bought it about a week ago. I just fell for the car straight away and after researching sites like this decided to bite the bullet. So...my question...regardless of what I paid for it (a lot more than it seems these cars go for in the States), have I purchased a decent motor?

motor is bullet proof..
transmission can take alot more power..
suspension needs tuning and the intercooler and pumps are not the greatest. Heat will be your biggest enemy.
But for every driving, just adding a pulley and ecu will do wonders.
The car is really comfortable and very rare compared to an S4 or M3.
