Thumbs up

Thanks for the warm welcome guys

Yes, I have a 3 months warranty or 6000km but NOT for the gearbox Not so good I guess, but the car has around 98,000 miles! The gear box seems perfect to me so I don't know why they are bad tripin...they didn't take it apart so why the hell did they do that last second in the contract?!?

Even if it has 98'000 miles, it seems like new, I dont get it... Everything seems new, no weird noise, the steering wheel is perfect, suspension and so on. The only thing that was not taken care off is the actual body of the car...I will need to do some body work for sure.

I am very impressed with the c32 its amazing! I took a day off and I already drove 600 miles
Stunning car really, I understand why you guys bought one



I already have 3 questions?

1. What are the biggest rims that can go on a c32 without modifying the wheel arch.
2. Is it possible to add the c55 rear spoiler or we need to change the entire trunk?
3. The best 0 to 60 mph times, are they usually done with or without the ESP?

Thanks a lot guys.

Chappy, I've got a 2000 ML55 and a 2004 C32 in the household as well... please don't tell me you've got a W208 in your household too.

Honestly I loved and still am a fan of the Lexus IS but about 4 months after buying it I had a stroke which impaired my driving so instead of keeping it in garage I sold it and when I was able to drive again well I didn't want to spend $45k again so as I was looking for an M3 I stumbled upon its competition and started adding the pros and cons of owning either and the C32 was way more practical to me...especially the 4 doors and Auto tranny.
