My Batmobile

I thought I'd finally post some pics of my C36.

Its a 96, runs like a bat out of hell.

Mods so far:

-18x8.5 / 18x 9.5 AMG Twin spoke reps w/ 225/255's.
-Custom Shrouded Cold Air Intake, soon to be replaced by a GruppeM Carbon fiber intake.

On the bed...Custom exhaust w/Magnaflow Nickel-based Zero Weld Race cats into an Eisenmann muffler.

-Powerchip 93 Octane Gold chipset from my Dyno results.

Thanks !

Rims look good, but I prefer the staggered monoblock 18's and an avantegarde grille. Awesome car none the less, I hope to get one, one day.

They are staggered...just not at the lips.

These are reps, and I think only the "real" AMG twin spokes come w/ staggered lips.

Maybe I'm wrong. I did consider long and hard about getting the Mono's in 18's,but I wanted to see the brakes more since I'm upgrading the fronts to Alcons or AMG calipers.

Still contemplating on going " black on the oem grill....or black avantgarde ".

I'm going to leave it be for a few more weeks.

Thanks though.

wow that magnaflow sounds great,

The intake I had on mine droned/resonated way too much and was too deep IMO so I put stock airbox back on (plus it felt like it LOST power, lots of power).


Im not a fan of the newer double spokes but on your car for some reason they look fantastic. I say since they are on the car might as well keep them.

Its my daily. I'm happy w/ the ride as it is.

I've got some #2 ,3 pads I might switch some day, and my Audi S4 is lowered a bit......its kinda nice to have a cruiser sometimes.

YEah, my friends M3 had one too, and I love that hum-scream like a banshee effect, although my custom intake is pretty good too.

The key is just keeping the insanely hot engine temps from getting to the intake tract.

Man your car sounded wicked ! Thanks for sharing that clip.

Also in regards to removing the resonator. You will not notice any difference in sound. Your stock muffler is very restrictive.

Looks good ! Get some clear or smoked corners and you're set.

Thanks ! Sadly the S4 now has a new home. One of the most amazing cars I've ever owned.

Violent acceleration, super stealthy and just ate up asphalt.

I'm still shell-shocked that I get her go, but another story for another day..............

Looks good man, I always thought that the C36 looks a bit nicer (I think it sits closer to the ground) than the C43 but I wanted the torque and rumble of the V8. Have you measured the 0-60 with the mods you have? It's a 4-speed gearbox right?
