New to board and a few questions...

Hey guys,

I just picked up an '02 C32 with 3,700 miles black with charcoal/blue interior...excellent car!

Anway, I was wondering how much boost these cars run?

Also, where is the best place to get the flat hood ornaments?

TIA

BTW, I have come over from the BMW side (M3).....needed the 4 doors.

14.5 psi i think from a twin-screw blower.

evosport is a good place to get flat hood badges from. i got mine from there and it was very easy and shipped fast.

both m3 and c32 are good cars. congrats

Thanks for the responses guys, I do appreciate it! never got the email conformation on them, gotta check my cp settings.

Anyway, back when I bought my M3, the C Class AMG cars definitely were not what they are now, and the BMW offer the best bang for the buck. Things have changed and AMG has stepped up to the plate in a major way....plus, I needed the 4 doors (3 year old). Anyway, both manufacturers make great cars and it basically comes down to what you like....the C32 fits me perfectly right NOW....that may change when I go to get my next car. But in the mean time, I will enjoy the hell out of this C32.

Thanks again....looking forward to posting here!

see For Sale page below....few pics down at the bottom of the page...more on the home computer.

http://www.ecisbmw.com/95m3.htm

I sold the car on June 27th...went to a good home in San Diego.

The M3 was a two door and I did think about getting the 4 door in 98-99, but I had done so much work to the M3, it didn't make sense to start over again.

It just became too difficult hauling my son around....
